Objectives
The project goal was to build a methodology and a software tool able to analyze the system performances of next generation S (or L) -band mobile satellite hybrid networks.
Main objectives of the project were:
- Development of a SW methodology for the performance analysis of mobile satellite systems in L or S band with or without a Complementary Ground Component.
- Utilization of the SW methodology for performing an initial assessment of the possible benefits of new potential technical solutions (e.g. MIMO, dynamic on-ground beamforming) and access schemes on ad-designed hybrid systems.
- Providing guidelines / optimal strategies for improving the bandwidth and power efficiency of new hybrid systems.
Challenges
Key issues were:
- The definition of a sufficiently accurate and fast methodology for physical layer abstraction.
- The implementation of a functional user interface for setting up simulations and presenting obtained results.
Plan
The project was started in March 2011 and has been completed with a Final presentation held in November 2012.
Current Status
Completed.
