Abstract

An overview of satellite air interface evolution, in light of new initiatives to consider satellite networks as an integrated part of the 5th generation of communication networks, is presented. The study of non-terrestrial networks has identified a variety of satellite communication services. Despite that, the adoption of air interface solutions over satellite links faces several challenges that require in-depth analyses and possible iterations in design trade-offs. This has created new incentives for several on-going or planned R&D projects in support of new standardization. While some preliminary observations can be made based on recent studies, further analyses are required to reach a consolidated view.

Analysis of satellite-induced factors affecting the accuracy of the BDS satellite differential code bias

Differential code bias (DCB) is one of the main error sources of the positioning, navigation and timing services and slant total electron content extraction. The DCB can usually be estimated together with ionospheric model coefficients from the data of ...
Precise orbit determination for BDS-3 satellites using satellite-ground and inter-satellite link observations

Since November 2017, eight BeiDou global navigation system (BDS-3) satellites equipped with Ka-band inter-satellite link (ISL) payloads have been launched into medium earth orbit. We present the precise orbit determination (POD) for BDS-3 satellites ...
Satellite constellation design for 5G wireless networks of mobile communications
Summary
Satellite constellation design plays an important role in satellite networks. Network constellation system design can affect the effectiveness of current improvements of the communications link and the management of the entire network. The power ...

Based on the classical constellation design method, the orthogonal circular orbit constellation is proposed. The design objectives considered here are the following: global Earth coverage by low Earth orbit satellites, the duration of continuously ...
