Destination-Directed, Packet-Switching Architecture for 30/20-Ghz Fdma/TdmGeostationary Communications Satellite Network

摘要

A destination-directed packet switching architecture for a 30/20-GHz frequencydivision multiple access/time division multiplexed (FDMA/TDM) geostationary satellite communications network is discussed. Critical subsystems and problem areas are identified and addressed. Efforts have concentrated heavily on the space segment; however, the ground segment has been considered concurrently to ensure cost efficiency and realistic operational constraints.
