Rain Margin Improvement Using Resource Sharing in 12-GHz Satellite Downlinks

Abstract: In this paper we consider the effectiveness of sharing a small pool of reserved time slots of a Time-Division-Multiple-Access ( T D M A ) frame among a large number of ground stations to overcome rain fading. With this approach, a system dynamically assigns time slots from the reserved pool to ground stations experiencing fade depths above the built-in margin. Powerful error correcting codes can be introduced to occupy the extra time slots, providing 10 dB or more of extra fade margin. Because a large number o… Show more
