MF-TDMA slot allocation in joint WiMAX/satellite networks

In this paper, we start with a bibliographic search for slot allocation methods in static MF-TDMA satellite systems, followed by a multi-frequency extension of previous work that describes a prediction-based scheduling mechanism for joint WiMAX/satellite environments. The proposed mechanism consists of three parts. The first part requests satellite bandwidth based on an estimation of the needs of the WiMAX network at the time the bandwidth is granted, the second part allocates bandwidth on the satellite channel, while the third distributes it to the WiMAX users. Simulation results show improved performance of slot allocation in MF-TDMA, especially in terms of throughput and delay. http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.4732

Physical Channel Access (PCA): Time and Frequency Access Methods Emulation in NS-2
Nicolas Kuhn, Olivier Mehani, Huyen-Chi Bui, Jerome Lacan, Jose Radzik, Emmanuel Lochin (Submitted on 21 Jan 2013 (v1), last revised 5 Feb 2013 (this version, v3)) We present an NS-2 module, Physical Channel Access (PCA), to simulate different access methods on a link shared with Multi-Frequency Time Division Multiple Access (MF-TDMA). This tech- nique is widely used in various network technologies, such as satellite communication. In this context, different access methods at the gateway induce different queuing delays and available capacities, which strongly impact transport layer performance. Depending on QoS requirements, design of new congestion and flow control mechanisms and/or access methods requires evaluation through simulations. In this article, we detail how, based on descriptive parameters of lower layers characteristics, our PCA module emulates the delays that packets will experience using the shared link. Though PCA has been developed with DVBRCS2 considerations in mind (for which we present a use case), other MF-TDMA- based applications can easily be simulated by adapting input parameters. Moreover, the presented implementation details highlight the main methods that might need modifications to implement more specific functionality or emulate other similar access methods (e.g., OFDMA).

Abstract
This paper addresses the integration of a Fade Mitigation Technique (FMT) within a centrally managed MF-TDMA satellite network in the context of guaranteed QoS delivery. Burst Length Control (BLC) is introduced as a suitable FMT and the methodology of its design and implementation within the existing DVB-RCS standard is described and simulated. The proposed technique provides compensation for rain attenuation at the expense of capacity utilisation. Within any fixed partition of the MF-TDMA space, by considering the space-time properties of rain attenuation, suitable geographical multiplexing of rain-attenuated and non-attenuated links allows the optimisation of the channel capacity utilisation while still exploiting the statistical multiplexing of the sources on the return channels.

The frameworks of half a material object artificial network satellite networks of Fig. 1 Design methods such as the picture synchronization design, adjustment of calling traffic, periodic line power control of radio frequency,etc. are the high-efficient critical technology that is operated of the network in the network runs. Test models and test the procedure as follows for this setting-up. The tester utilizes the array picture to make and test the required information of the script, the test process includes 4 steps: Change the array picture into the flow block diagram; Discern the route to be tested from the flow block diagram, discern the entry at first -Export the route, judging the branch will be adopted once at least of such all, every route of tracing becomes a test case; Discern the special abnormal circumstance, namely the exception handing used for developing and testing the embodiment in order to tests and correlated with examining and realizing; Recognition adopts particular route required input and state, will do along this route when meeting all path conditions, the test case defines that needs to meet particular input and state of the path condition. Confirm the anticipated result of each test embodiment finally, finish testing the bag,

the test that is received is chartered and can be realized in a users test driver with a fixed script language. 1. Regular synchronous model of 2 MF TDMA system Timing is a key issue of TDMA system, it offers time reference in order to run systematically, original catch it with the foundation that keeps synchronously. Original to catch, mean earth-based station begin, launch the burst, guarantee it can enter the designated time slot correctly, will not enter the course that other time slots cause the interference by mistake. 1. 3 application speech progress models Set up one diplex the intersection of user and model, can regard as caller, can regard as Calledly too. When regarding as the caller, users send out call request according to the business with year; When but it is Called to regard as, need it to mainly calling essential acknowledgement out, in order to guarantee the setting-up of the periodic line of the conversation. Test the procedure as follows entirely: Terminal subscriber station send, call out, apply for frame and obtain the intersection of channel allocation and frame, apply, pass the intersection of channel allocation and Bao to consumer process succeed, if apply to fail and notify the information of supporting the process to fail, the test route where the course is discerned by the flow block diagram. 1. Radio frequency 4 and periodic line model Radio frequency model include upstream radio frequency and descent radio frequency 2 part, the former whether sending power in ground station deal with mainly, the latter mainly confirms the question of the error code. Having made the restriction to the up-chain here, namely apply for the route and can only be passed to the network control center; On the downlink, mainly confirm whether the signal power that the satellite module comes reaches the required signal to noise ratio of module of radio frequency that this periodic line connects, if receive it, otherwise abandon. All frames want through the time delay in a satellite channel and meet the control request of the power of accepting station when being transmitted. More worthwhile for the burst signal and noise of the modulator of each station than to dispose one, this value is used for transmitting power control. The sporadic SNR report of reference that the distant station receives them from the key station for the key station, a land of TDMA frame head is used in this purpose, the key station adjusts its transmission power level, ratio control in a desired range signal and noise. Every distant station adjusts their upstream power too, make their burst with having the same signal to noise ratio to consult the burst while receiving. 2 tests model emulation 2. A network synchronization parameter setting

Keep adjusting the synchronism referred to in order to keep the whole network spacing interval synchronously, need to send the cycle when is adjusted to the burst constantly. The more frequent the ones that were adjusted are, the smaller the influence on keeping of all kinds of errors synchronously is, and the larger expenses what adjustment process brings is; The bigger the influence on keeping of all kinds of errors synchronously is on the contrary, and the smaller expenses what adjustment process brings is. So should compromise and consider at the time of system design. Keep error in keeping, adjusting cycling synchronously certain synchronously Keep adjusting spacing interval synchronously Inside, the burst sends achievable accuracy grade. It relates to factors such as error that the error that satellite drift causes, clock stability cause, shaking and accuracy of adjustment of logical circuit,etc.. 2. 2 speech parameter setting The systematic network architecture is a mesh network, systematic parametric description is as follows: 20 voice channels of every station greatest support in the system; The speed of each signal channel is 2 400 bps; Each station sends the time interval and obeys t =The exponential distribution of 500 s, send the package length of data packet and obey mean value k =The Poisson distribution of 1 240 bit, it is 100 that the general station is counted, signal channel is sent again for 3 times, send again time to obey and mean being distributed; The delay time of satellite is 0. 27 s; The central station is that a network accuses of the station, the speed is 9 600 bps that serve; Assume the central station receives the data packet of the station, it is once that calls out success; The quantity standing increases progressively. Among them, it means a call is from producing to put through, thus the time before planning to converse to continue time delay. 2. 3 power control parameter setting The setting-up of the power control mechanism, need every station parameter linkage of satellite network to respond to, for this reason the special test procedure established of Rational Rose tool is: Recognition adopts particular route required Entry and state, will do along this route when meeting all path conditions, provide and report an emergency and ask for help or increased vigilance and brief on the feasible index when being unsatisfied with, the data defined in all test cases need to meet particular Entry and state of the path condition. Can set up the following parameter in the test case of power control. 1 Parameter setting of the signal to noise ratio Define in the parameter file of each station 3 consult sporadic signal and noise ratio, in order to reach the desired periodic line quality: Minimum signal to noise ratio Minimum Es/No It is 70; Moderate signal to noise ratio Moderate Es/No It is 100; Maximum signal-to-noise ratio Maximum Es/No It is 130.

In addition, define a downlink controlled variable in the parameter file of key station. The meaning of this parameter is: Have how many distant stations it cause the key station to increase the sending power that quality of receiving the burst signal of key station is lower than the expected value. 2 The rain belt launches power control If the key station detects it cant increase power level to the expected value, it will set up a sign in consulting the burst, tell every distant station. The distant station freezes ones own power level accordingly. They read the latest power level value from the parameter file of our station. 3 Upgrade, sort out, sort out If the key station is in the rain belt, consulting sporadic upstream transmission attenuation will increase, every distant station will report receiving quality become poor. Because local situations are different, the signal quality of some stations will be lower than the minimum signal to noise ratio Minimum Es/ No Threshold value,at received signal a poor in quality station count exceed key station last link control parameter value Down Linkpower Control When, the key station increases the transmitted power level under the control of controlling mechanism of the power. When the controlled variable of downlink is minor, the response of the key station is known earlier, power level will increase at once. The distant station reports the signal to noise ratio received actually. maximum, moderate and minimum signal to noise ratio As the parameter of the key station, the value that the key station relatively offers and control parameter, will be worth sorting out. maximum, moderate and minimum signal to noise ratio As the parameter of this station, are sorted out by distant station, report the result to key station. 3 system testing 3. A synchronization system test result The test model through setting up, test to every parameter of synchronization system of the network that receives the following result: Choosing the transmission delay that should be considered the satellite link first and requirement for transmission delay of the speech business of frame length. The business transmission delay of the speech generally requires within 400 ms, the transmission delay of the satellite link is probably 270 ms, consider the treatment time delay of the transmission equipment at the same time, the frame length is generally less than 110 ms, consider synthetically the influence of different factors is not smaller than 80 ms. In order to solve the contradiction among network size and main carrier frame efficiency, the system has introduced the ultra frame stucture. But the structural leading-in of superframe made every station take up the chance to apply for the time slot turned a superframe into once from once of a frame, according to the emulation to business call establishment time limit of the speech, the superframe length of maximum is fixed for 16 frames.

The typical speed that Fig. 2 keeps data statistics satellite drift of the error synchronously is 2. 8 m/ s, the clock stability that the system requires is 1 10- 8/ The sun is typical keep regulating spacing interval into a superframe synchronously, with the frame of longest superframe 16, the longest frame length 110ms pays analyzing, emulation keeps the error being smaller than 10 s synchronously, guarantees the synchronous operation of the network. The simulated data of the timing error are shown as in Fig. 2. Can find out the artificial test result meets the systematic requirement.

Fig. 2 keeps the data statistics of the error synchronously 3. 2 business access system test results The system offers the speech, data and 3 kinds of business of video to insert, adopt the technological system of MF TDMA virtual route, can make up the whole mesh network. Mutually the flux is 1 Mbps in the average business of every interstation, adopt corresponding flow control, line up and manage the mechanism, through talking about the test emulation of quantity to the speech business of the network, the average call successful rate of the system is counted and shown as in Fig. 3, call out and continue time delay and is counted and shown as in Fig. 4.

Average call successful rate of system of Fig. 3

The systematic one of Fig. 4 continues time delay equally Under the above-mentioned business background, the systematic call successful rate is about 87%, and continue time delay to maintain at 1 on average. About 1 s, this result meets the user service qualitative requirement of the network. 4 conclusions Using the model of Rational Rose tool design, testers can design a lot of test cases according to the characteristic of MF TDMA satellite network, obtain the mass data, catch the design defect very conveniently, thus can find out various defects existing in the network design as many as possible with the minor cost, guide system design effectively, make the network get the optimal disposition.
