Performance Assessment of an S-band Return Link for Messaging and Mobile Interactive Broadcasting
Romain Hermenier, Sandro Scalise · elib (German Aerospace Center) · 2011
Within this paper we examine the performance in terms of aggregate MAC throughput of the return link of a messaging and mobile interactive broadcast system in S-band. More specifically, an analysis is done to investigate the impact of using two different air interfaces (synchronous and asynchronous access) within the same bandwidth on the instantaneous MAC throughput within one beam. All considerations take into account a realistic population density as well as the propagation envrionment and a linguistic pattern over Europe. 1.
