Preliminary experiment of meteor burst communications in equatorial region

Abstract

The aim of the study is to explore the possibility of the use of Meteor Burst Communications (MBCs) in equatorial regions. We installed the master and the remote stations at Yogyakarta, Java Island and Jimbaran, Bali Island, Indonesia, respectively. As a preliminary experimental result, we confirmed that some packet transmissions between the two stations were achieved through meteor burst channels.
