Throughput Maximization of Optical LEO-Ground Links
نویسندگان
چکیده
The long-term throughput of optical links between a circular-LEO satellite and a ground station is assessed for systems with fixed and variable data rates. For a fixed data rate, we evaluate the minimum elevation angle above which the link should be established in order to maximize the throughput. The ratio of this optimized constant-data-rate throughput to the throughput of an adaptive transmission with a data rate proportional to the received power is found to depend mainly on the satellite altitude.

Next Generation High Throuhgput Satellite System Based on Optical Feeder Links
High-data-rate ground-to-space optical links are envisioned to be an alternative and more probably a next step to radio-frequency links, after the Q/V band still under development [1] for the feeder links of next generation high throughput satellites. Indeed, optical links allow a significant increase of the available spectral resources per link. This enables a drastic reduction of the number o...
متن کاملThroughput Maximization for Multi-Slot Data Transmission via Two-Hop DF SWIPT-Based UAV System
In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted cooperative communication system is studied, wherein a source transmits information to the destination through an energy harvesting decode-and-forward UAV. It is assumed that the UAV can freely move in between the source-destination pair to set up line of sight communications with the both nodes. Since the battery of the UAV may be limite...
متن کاملCooperative Communication Aware Link Scheduling for Cognitive Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks
Throughput maximization is a key challenge for wireless applications in cognitive Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (CVANETs). As a potential solution, cooperative communications, which may increase link capacity by exploiting spatial diversity, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. However, if link scheduling is considered, this transmission mode may perform worse than direct transmission ...

متن کاملUser Datagram and Bundle Protocol for Distributed Small Satellite Topologies
Many planned Earth observation satellite missions use distributed satellite systems in constellation or cluster orbits instead of one, large satellite with many instruments. This network of satellites and ground stations allows data to be efficiently downlinked. However, to create a networking protocol for constellations of small Earth observing satellites, several limitations need to be addres...
