High Throughput Satellite System with Q/V-band gateways and its integration with terrestrial broadband communication networks

摘要

Satellite broadband systems will play a key role in reducing the Digital Divide by complementing terrestrial networks in the delivery of superfast broadband in remote and rural areas. We present the system architecture, sizing and performance assessment of a next generation High Throuhgput Satellite system with Q/V-band gateways targeting the 2020 timeframe. In addition, we present a novel optimisation framework for the design of the backbone network interconnecting the satellite gateways with national PoPs in the serviced countries, which takes into account the impact in costs an payload constraints.
