Abstract:Abstract-The satellite communication data traffic is increasing dramatically over the coming years. High throughput multibeam satellite networks in Ka band are potentially able to accommodate the upcoming high data rate demands. However, there is only 500 MHz of exclusive band for download and the same amount for upload. This spectrum shortage impose a barrier in order to satisfy the increasing demands. Cognitive satellite communication in Ka band is considered in this paper in order to potentially provide an … Show more
“…In CoRaSat several techniques have been investigated [18,19]. Spectrum sensing can be used as a one off at the FSS installation, continuously in the FSS terminal or augmenting a data base to improve accuracy.…”

Broadband access by satellite in Ka band is currently constrained by spectrum availability. In this context, the EU FP7 project CoRaSat is examining the possible ways in which improved frequency utilization could be possible in Ka band via the use of cognitive mechanisms. A database approach utilizing spectrum scenarios between Fixed Satellite Services (FSS), Fixed Services (FS) and Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) feeder links are considered. Interference in the downlink from BSS and FS are evaluated using real data bases and propagation models. Data base statistics for several EU countries are also evaluated. The importance of using correct terrain profiles and accurate propagation models is shown. For the case of the BSS interference to the FSS downlink it is demonstrated that for the UK an area of less than 2% is affected and thus the additional 400 MHz spectrum band (17.3 to 17.7 GHz) can be used by FSS over the majority of the country. The operational challenges of the database approach across the EU are also discussed.

“…Spectrum awareness in turn can be obtained through databases and spectrum sensing. When the spectrum opportunities are known from databases or spectrum sensing, the remaining problem is how to allocate the available carriers in order to optimize the system performance [3].…”
Multibeam satellite networks in Ka band have been designed to accommodate the increasing traffic demands of the coming years. However, these systems are spectrum limited due to the current spectrum allocation policies. This paper investigates the potentials of applying cognitive radio techniques in satellite communications in order to increase the spectrum opportunities for future generation of satellite networks without interfering operation of incumbent services. These extra spectrum opportunities can potentially amount to 2.4 GHz of bandwidth in downlink, and to 2 GHz of bandwidth in uplink for high density fixed satellite services (HDFSS).
“…Como resultado desta questão, foram realizados estudos que produziram, inicialmente, a Recomendação UIT-R S.1594 [23] Com relação ao cenário FS/HDFSS, os terminais do sistema HDFSS podem potencialmente empregar técnicas de sensoriamento de espectro para obter informação sobre a potencial interferência produzida por enlaces do serviço FS em sua localização geográfica, identificando os canais de frequência disponíveis [13]. Assumindo que a sensibilidade da técnica de sensoriamento de espectro utilizada pelo terminal HDFSS é o suficientemente alta para detectar se a interferência produzida pelos enlaces FS é maior ou menor que o nível máximo de interferência que o terminal HDFSS pode tolerar, a decisão sobre a disponibilidade do canal poderia ser feita com base apenas na observação feita [12] por este terminal.…”

“…Quando se trata do cenário FS/HDFSS os terminais do sistema HDFSS podem potencialmente empregar técnicas de sensoriamento de espectro para obter informação sobre a interferência produzida por enlaces do serviço FS em sua localização geográfica especifica, identificando os canais de frequência disponíveis para eles usarem [13]. Assumindo que a sensibilidade da técnica de sensoriamento de espectro é suficientemente alta para detectar o nível máximo de interferência que o terminal HDFSS pode tolerar, a decisão (identificação de canais disponíveis de frequência) pode ser baseada unicamente na observação do sensoriamento de espectro feita pelo próprio terminal [12].…”

“…Toda esta informação é centralizada em um Centro de Base de Dados (DBC -Data Base Center) que, utilizando modelos de propagação conhecidos, calcula a interferência produzida pelos transmissores FS em qualquer ponto da região geográfica de interesse. Desta forma os terminais HDFSS podem consultar o DBC a fim de verificar os canais de frequência que não estão expostos à interferência prejudicial do FS [12,19]. Embora eficiente, esta técnica requer informação detalhada e confiável sobre os enlaces do FS, que pode não estar disponível devido a informações imprecisas ou incompletas ou mesmo devido a restrições de confidencialidade.…”
