Simulation Model and Comparison for Satellite Links in Ku and Ka Bands for Standards-based on DVB-S2 and NS3

Abstract

1 Abstract-This work generates a simulation model to understand the effects of attenuation in broadcasting satellite links like for data links and especially to determine the feasibility of using a high performance satellite backhaul for new generation data networks, faced with different scenarios especially in areas where rainfall attenuates and degrades the RF satellite links. Predictive models have been assembled delivered by the ITU and its recommendations for rain attenuation and the links are integrated with DVB-S2 and NS3 standards, where the simulated model will be obtained which with a position geographical coordinates as a reference of the remote station VSAT, will result in operating modes, signal strength and availability of the satellite link given. This certainly makes it a tool to study and design that many papers omitted on the research part and it becomes necessary to be applied in new models of propagation and attenuation in regions where it is desired to conduct the study, achieving thus a greater precision in the quality of links and a more encouraging panorama to deploy networking data systems high reliability and high transmission rates based on next generation 4G and future 5G networks.

Simulation of the Effect of Interference and EIRP on the Qos of DVB-S2 and DVB-RCS2 Networks

“…Ka-band frequency has several advantages, one of which is greater bandwidth so that it can provide more service capacity. (Cornejo & Landeros, 2017)…”

Implementation and Evaluation of Nodal Distribution and Movement in a 5G Mobile Network

“…Additionally, weather conditions influence the transmission process when using satellite equipment in new generation networks. The study of this influence on satellite communications was carried out by creating scenarios for modeling and generating traffic using the NS3 network simulator [41][42][43].…”

Satellite television transmission in the world - broadcasting systems and standards

“…It was developed in 1993, and was adopted in 1994 by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). The second generation of this standard, DVB-S2, has been ratified by ETSI, and it supports the high definition content (HDTV) (Cornejo & Landeros, 2016). Compared to DVB-S, DVB-S2 delivers about 30% better performance, which in combination with MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) compression provides the ability to broadcast HDTV with the same data flow that was previously needed for SDTV (Mignone, Vazquez-Castro, & Stockhammer, 2011;Vazquez-Castro & Vieira, 2012).…”
