Mobile Satellite Communication Network Book Description

The aim of this book is to provide the reader with an overview of mobile satellite systems, from their initial introduction (Inmarsat), current satellite-PCS (referring to such systems as Globalstar), through to Satellite-UMTS and an understanding of the following: ? The design concepts associated with non-geostationary satellite systems ? (constellation, link budgets, Doppler, etc) ? The concepts of UMTS (network architecture, aims, in the context of IMT-2000) and the role foreseen for the satellite component (complementary to terrestrial network, network extension, global availability, etc) ? Inter-working between satellite and terrestrial networks (network architecture, ATM Adaptation Layer) ? Radio interface technologies (WB-CDMA, TDMA, transmission environment) ? Regulatory issues ? Future services and applications ? Potential satellite markets (prediction techniques, effect of tariffing policies on potential market) Preface Acknowledgements ? Figures ? Tables ?
