Development and performance evaluation of tropospheric scintillation model on Ku-band satellite link over Akure,Nigeria

Existing amplitude scintillation prediction models often perform less satisfactorily when deployed outside the regions where they were formulated. This necessitates the need to evaluate the performance of scintillation models developed in one region using data data from other regions while documenting their relative errors. Due to its variation with elevation angle, frequency, other link parameters and meteorological factors, we employed three years (January 2016 to December 2018) of concurrently measured satellite radio beacons and tropospheric weather parameters to develop a location-based amplitude scintillation prediction model over the Earth-space path of Akure (7.17^oN, 5.18^oE), South-western Nigeria. The satellite beacon measurement used Tektronix Y400 NetTek Analyzer at 1 s integration time while meteorological parameters, namely; temperature, pressure and relative humidity were measured using Davis Vantage Vue weather station at 1 min integration time. Comparative study of the model’s performance with nine (9) existing scintillation prediction models indicates that the best and worst performing models, in terms of root mean square error (RMSE), are the Statistical Temperature and Refractivity (STN) and direct physical and statistical prediction (DPSP) models with values 11.48 and 51.03 respectively. Also, worst month analysis indicates that April, with respective enhancement and fade values of 0.88 and 0.90 dB for 0.01% exceedance, is the overall worst calendar month for amplitude scintillation.     

最小二乘直线函数的特性分析

证明了最小二乘直线函数是一种严格的凸函数。F(a,b)=∑(y-ax_i-b)~2是一个椭圆抛物面。a=[n∑x_iy_i-∑x_i∑y_i]/[n∑x_i^2-(∑x_i)~2]和b=[∑x_i^2∑y_i-∑x_i∑x_i∑y_i]/[n∑x_i^2-(∑x_i)~2]仅表示极值点。a=∑x_iy_i/∑x_i和 b=[∑x_i^2∑y_i-∑x_i∑x_iy_i]/[n∑x_i^2]在某些情况下可以是极值点,但不是在每种情况下都是极值点。     

Ad-hoc网络传输控制协议研究

Ad—hoc网络是一种无线网络，它在通信时通常使用TCP协议。这种协议是为有线网络开发的，直接应用将导致错误地启动拥塞控制，这会降低网络的通信效率，因此必须修改TCP协议，提高它在无线网络环境中的工作效率。本文分析Ad—hoc网络中TCP的性能表现，在Vegas的基础上分析其拥塞控制机制，修改该部分的实现算法，进而提出VegasE，利用NS2网络模拟软件对Tahoe，Reno，Vegas和新的VegasE进行模拟测试并对比结果。通过对比可以发现Vegas和VegasE在整体上明显优于Tahoe和Reno；VegasE在一些方面优于Vegas，但在另一些方面表现不佳，这说明需要进一步研究Vegas并对其做出更细致的修改，以便提出更好的通信协议。     

A Novel Onboard-gateway-based Mechanism to Improve TCP Performance in Aeronautical Satellite Networks

The IP-based networks on aircraft serve to support Internet services via satellites. However, in aeronautical satellite hybrid net- works,the TCP protocol performance often deteriorates due to improper decreases and slow recovery of the congestion window. This paper proposes a window size determination and notification mechanism, onboard-gateway-based mechanism (OGBM), which is based on the onboard gateway in the networks on aircraft. A cross-layer approach is adopted by the onboard gateway to obtain the satellite link bandwidth information. And then, by the gateway, through changing the receiver’s advertised window field in ACK packets, TCP sources are notified of the window size of each TCP source calculated on the ground of bandwidth delay product and flow numbers. The mechanism is able to avoid improper changes of TCP window and serve multiple users. Simulation results show that the mechanism with the fairness index close to 1 improves TCP performance in aeronautical satellite networks.

一种适合卫星网络的拥塞控制算法

针对卫星信道环境中存在随机误码和突发误码现象,现有TCP协议不能很好地区分数据丢失的具体原因,导致TCP协议性能下降的问题,提出了一种新的拥塞控制算法。此算法采用高低优先级数据包间隔发送的数据发送策略,并根据接收端的数据接收状况判断数据丢失的原因,采取相应的拥塞窗口控制策略。另外,为了减少反向链路带宽的占用,接收端采取周期发送应答信息的策略。应答信息包含了数据接收的整个状态。通过与当前多种针对此问题的协议进行仿真比较,所提出的拥塞控制算法不仅可以有效地区分数据丢失原因,提高前向链路吞吐量,而且还降低了反向链路的带宽占用。
