This paper presents the results of a measurement campaign conducted in the winter of 2002
around the city of Munich in southern Germany. The primary goal was to evaluate the link …

Land mobile satellite (LMS) channels at the L (1/2 GHz) and S (2/4 GHz) frequency bands
are mainly affected by propagation effects due to the local environment of a mobile terminal …

In this paper we address the emerging application of mobility to DVB-S2/DVB-RCS systems,
sometimes also referred to as Satellite-On-The Move (SOTM) communications. Satellite …

The first two generations of TV broadcasting are almost history, at least from the
standardization perspective. Analog and digital satellite distributions both have addressed …

A key issue in the design of a mobile satellite communication system is an adequate
knowledge of the statistical behavior of the propagation channel. To achieve this goal, the …

This paper aims at studying the behaviour of satellite DVB systems in a vehicular mobile
environment by deriving a channel model at packet level that accounts for the mobile …

This paper presents an exhaustive comparisons of the statistical properties of the land
mobile satellite channel at high frequency bands, namely Ku, Ka and EHF bands. The …

In this paper the performance of the DVB-S air interface over the Railroad Satellite Channel
(RSC) at Ku-band is investigated. Due to the peculiar channel impairments that characterize …

The candidate frequency bands for the extension of the DVB-S2/RCS broadband satellite
systems to fully support mobility are the Ku (12/14 GHz) and Ka (20/30 GHz). At these …

The design of mobile satellite broadcast architectures requires complex tradeoffs involving
technical, economical, and regulatory aspects. A satisfactory quality of service in terms of the …
