communications industry, characterised by continued and rapid growth in demand, spurred on by new technological advances and innovative marketing techniques. Of course, when we refer to mobile commu- nications, we tend to implicitly refer to cellular systems, such as GSM. The plight of the mobile-satellite industry over the last decade, although eventful, has, at times, been more akin to an out of control roller coaster ride. From an innovative start, the industry is now in the process of re-assessing, if not re-inventing itself. While niche satellite markets have contin- ued to grow steadily over the last 10 years, the significant market penetration derived from personal mobile services via satellite that was anticipated at the start of the decade has failed to materialise. With this in mind, it may seem like a strange time to bring out a book on mobile-satellite communication networks. Certainly, if we were to have produced a book merely describing the technology behind mobile-satellite networks, then in many respects, we would have failed to address the real issues that affect mobile-satellite systems, namely the influence of terrestrial mobile commu- nications and an assessment of the market, which ultimately decides whether a system is viable or not. With this in mind, we have put together a book which aims to highlight these key issues, while at the same time covering the fundamentals of the subject. We believe this combination provides a unique approach to the subject that is relevant to those involved in the mobile-satellite industry. With this approach in mind, the first chapter reflects on the status of the mobile commu- nications industry. It is now accepted that mobile-satellite communications will largely play complementary roles to their terrestrial counterparts. Consequently, it is important to have an understanding of the different types of mobile communications systems that are presently available. This chapter covers the development of cellular and cordless communications from their initial beginnings to the present day. This is followed in Chapter 2 by a review of the current state of the mobile-satellite industry. Usually, when we discuss mobile communications, invariably we will associate this with voice communications. However, satellites are also used for other innovative services such as store-and-forward data relaying and vehicular fleet management. This chap- ter considers all aspects of mobile-satellite communications from the established geostation- ary systems to the latest ‘‘ little’’ and ‘‘ big’’ low Earth orbit systems. The introduction of non-geostationary satellite systems often requires the design of complex multi-satellite constellations. Chapter 3 presents the theory behind the design of such networks. This is followed in Chapter 4 by a discussion of the properties of the commu- nication channel, from both a mobile and fixed perspective. The mobile channel in particular offers a hostile environment in which to design a reliable communications link. This chapter reviews the present status of understanding with regard to the characterisation of the channel, indicating the methods of prediction. The characteristics of the radio interface are considered in Chapter 5. Here, the transmis- sion chain is analysed presenting the link budget method of analysis. The chapter includes a description of applicable modulation and coding techniques and multiple access schemes. In Chapter 6, the network procedures associated with a mobile-satellite network are presented. In order to facilitate a smooth integration with terrestrial mobile networks, it is important that as many of the procedures between the two systems are as similar as possible. This chapter focuses on two key areas of mobility management, namely location management and handover management, as well as resource management techniques. In Chapter 7, the requirements for integration with fixed and mobilenetworks are presented, highlighting the requirements for integration with the GSM network. Chapter 8 presents an analysis of the market potential for mobile-satellite communications. The methodology for deriving the market is presented, followed by a series of market predictions. Finally, in Chapter 9, we attempt to predict how the mobile-satellite market will develop over the coming decade. Certainly, it has been an interesting time to produce a book of this type. The next 10 years promise to be as innovative, if not more so, than the last, with the introduction of mobile multimedia services and a greater influence of the Internet on mobile service evolution. It will be interesting to see how the mobile-satellite communications industry adapts to meet these new markets over the next few years. x Preface [...]...
