A novel OBS and OBP scheme for GEO satellite

摘要

A new on-board switching (OBS) and on-board processing (OBP) scheme for GEO satellite communication system is proposed, in which the bent-pipe mode is incorporated with the OBP mode. The numerical results and the performance analysis of different configuration modes of this novel scheme are presented. For verifying the numerical results, a simulation platform based on OPNET is designed, and the simulating data is consistent with the numerical results. Our analysis outcome shows that only a small scale of OBP resources are needed to meet one-hop voice communication requirement with high probability in contrast with full OBP scheme, and this novel scheme can achieve much better performance than bent-pipe mode.
