چکیده
In this paper we propose an elevation-dependent Rice Rayleigh/lognormal channel model for communications of personal and mobile users via non-geostationary satellites (NGSO S-PCNs). Based on this channel model, we discuss the performance of satellite diversity for NGSO SPCNs. The parameters of the channel model are derived from channel measurements, which have been carried out for different elevation angles and in different environments. The measurements indicate that the channel behaviour in NGSO S-PCNs strongly depends on the elevation angle. In order to evaluate the performance of satellite diversity we present a method which allows the modelling of two statistically dependent satellite channels. The correlation between the channel states is also derived from channel measurements and depends on the azimuth separation of the two channels and on the elevation angles. We evaluate the performance of satellite diversity for LEO and M E 0 systems (Globalstar and ICO) and different mobile user environments. For these systems, some crucial benefits and drawbacks of satellite diversity are discussed. It can be shown that the service availability can be significantly improved by satellite diversity.

The performance of a speech-only cellular PRMA system is analysed in an interference limited Rayleigh faded environment. The inter-cell interference present in such a system can significantly increase the probability of packet loss as well as reduce the overall system utilisation. In this paper an ideal 2-branch SIR selection diversity scheme has been shown to be effective in combating the leve...

locations polled to that point is n sn = kj (1) In this work, we consider the problem of minimizing average paging cost and polling delay in a wireless system. It is assumed that users to be paged move according to a genera1 motion process during the paging events. We find and evaluate the optimal sequential paging strategies for given maximum delay tolerance and compare our results to the clas...

In this paper, a statistical model for the land mobile satellite (LMS) channel is presented. The model is capable of describing both narrowand wide-band conditions. Other relevant characteristic is that it can be used to study links with geostationary as well as nongeostationary satellites. The model is of the generative type, i.e., it is capable of producing time series of a large number of si...

This paper considers the optimal reverselink power control law for multi-media multi-rate DS/CDMA systems which offer services with different transmission rates (VBR or CBR) and quality of service (Qos) requirements. In the multi-media multi-rate CDMA system, the transmission power of a mobile station (MS) is proportional to a power control law, which is a function of its distance to the base s...

In order to guarantee the service quality and reliability for mobile satellite communication systems, we have to take into account outages due to obstruction of the line-of-sight path between a satellite and a mobile terminal as well as the signal fluctuation caused by interference from multipath radio waves. Thus, we need a good characterization for the satellite propagation channel. In this p...
