Capacity analysis of the MEO satellite constellation by Ya-hui WANG, Hong-feng KUANG, Li-dong ZHU

“…Aiming to calculate the system capacity of a given satellite constellation,a time-varying traffic model based on varying traffic with varying time zone was proposed.Focusing on a MEO satellite constellation with global coverage,using a load balanced routing algorithm,the system capacity in different time slices was analyzed and the effect of inter-satellite link (ISL) capacity on the system capacity was investigated.The time-varying traffic model makes analysis more reliable and effective via comparison with equal traffic model.Application of time slices reduces complexity of calculation.…”

Measurements of Building Transmission Loss and Delay Spread at 2.5 GHz by L. H. Gonsioroski, L. da Silva Mello

“…This allows the characterization of different types of buildings by effective attenuation constants and consideration of the contribution of the transmitted signal in microcell coverage predictions. Power delay profiles (PDPs) of the received signal were also measured and used to determine the time dispersion parameters of the channel, including the mean excess delay and the rms delay spread.…”

Stability module of path compression for on-demand ad hoc routing by XU Jia, LI Zhi, ZHOU Yao, LIU Feng-yu

“…The dynamic, real-time stable compression period probabilistically based on dynamic path compression model was calculated.A stability module of path compression techniques（SMPC） was proposed which could restrain the blindness for path compression efficiently and improve the stability of routes, by using based on GPS and SMPC-MS based on the compression coverage to lessens the ephemeral short-cuts and multiple short-cuts.The simulation results show that the path compression techniques by SMPC achieve low control overhead and end-to-end delay compared with both AODV and PCA.It is a generic and efficient stability module of path compression techniques for on-demand ad hoc routing.…”
