As demands on the network continue to grow, it is increasingly important to upgrade the
existing infrastructure in order to offer higher bandwidth and service level guarantees to …

In the context of the project MiLADY, a new land mobile satellite (LMS) channel model for
single-and multi-satellite reception has been developed. Experimental satellite propagation …

This paper concentrates on channel modelling for mobile personal satellite systems. A
single-environment channel model is introduced suitable to quasi-stationary flat-flat …

The quality of service of mobile satellite reception can be improved by using multi-satellite
diversity (angle diversity). The recently finalised MiLADY project targeted therefore on the …

Satellite communications industry is currently going through a rapid and profound
transformation to adapt to the recent innovations and developments in the realm of non …

In this contribution we present the results of a study on land mobile satellite channel models
for satellite systems with multiple satellites. The slow fading of our channel model for several …

The high quality of service, low cost and high spectral efficiency are of particular interest for
wireless communication systems. Fundamental to these features has been much enhanced …

This paper describes a new semi-Markov propagation channel model for land mobile
satellite systems using geostationary satellites. The multistate model switches between …

Central features of future 4G mobile communication systems are high-speed data
transmission (up to 1 Gb/s) and interactive multimedia services. For effective delivery of …

This paper reviews the state of the art and current trends towards 3G and 3G+ mobile
satellite systems that are being planned in parallel or within the International Mobile …
