Abstract:
A satellite communication system and method based on a digital video broadcasting-return channel via satellite (DVB-RCS) are provided. The satellite communication system may include a central station, and at least one very small aperture terminal (VSAT) including a first VSAT and a second VSAT. When a logon request is received from the second VSAT, the central station may determine whether the first VSAT is normally operated. When the first VSAT is determined to be abnormally operated, the central station may allow the second VSAT to log onto the central station.
Abstract:
An adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) apparatus and method for a forward link in satellite communication is provided. The ACM apparatus may include a receiving unit to receive a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a received signal, a determination unit to determine whether the SNR of the received signal is less than or equal to a threshold value, and a processing unit to execute a channel prediction algorithm when the SNR of the received signal is determined to be less than or equal to the threshold value.
