Über dieses Buch

This book discusses global mobile satellite communications (GMSC) for maritime, land (road and rail), and aeronautical applications. It covers how these enable connections between moving objects such as ships, road and rail vehicles and aircrafts on one hand, and ground telecommunications subscribers through the medium of communications satellites, ground earth stations, Terrestrial Telecommunication Networks (TTN), Internet Service Providers (ISP) and other wireless and landline telecommunications providers. The new edition covers new developments and initiatives that have resulted in land and aeronautical applications and the introduction of new satellite constellations in non-geostationary orbits and projects of new hybrid satellite constellations. The book presents current GMSC trends, mobile system concepts and network architecture using a simple mode of style with understandable technical information, characteristics, graphics, illustrations and mathematics equations. It represents telecommunications technique and technology, which can be useful for all technical staff on vessels at sea and rivers, on all types of land vehicles, on planes, on off shore constructions and for everyone possessing satellite communications handset phones. The first edition of Global Mobile Satellite Communications (Springer, 2005) was split into two books for the second edition – one on applications and one on theory. This book presents global mobile satellite communications applications.

Chapter 1. Inmarsat GEO GMSC System
Abstract
Inmarsat was established in 1979 as the International Maritime Satellite Organization (Inmarsat), a not-for-profit international organization, set up at the behest of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and United Nations (UN), for the purpose of establishing a maritime satellite communication network for ship management and Safety applications.

Chapter 2. Non-GEO GMSC Systems
Abstract
Non-GEO GMSC infrastructures are space solutions for Global Mobile Personal Satellite Communications (GMPSC), such as LEO, MEO, and current regional systems.

Chapter 3. Global Broadcasting Satellite System (GBSS)
Abstract
The Broadcast Satellite System (BSS) applications are represented by old one-way Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) for transmitting only Speech and Video signals and modern two-way DVB-Return Channel via Satellite (DVB-RCS) for transmitting Voice, Data and Video over IP (VDVoIP) and IP over Satellite (IPoS). The DVB systems that have been defined by the recent project represent a family of baseline specifications, which match the characteristics of the delivery medium for the reason each system has been produced. At this point, the various DVB systems have to satisfy the different technical, operational, and commercial requirements of the particular transmission network and application, such as satellite, cable, personal, and terrestrial for which they have been designed, while keeping a high level of commonality and interoperability between them and their services.

Chapter 4. Cospas-Sarsat GMSC System
Abstract
Vessels sink or become disabled, airplanes crash in disasters, land vehicles and expeditions get lost in the wilderness and other causal emergencies occur that jeopardize many lives and property at sea, in the vast inland regions and air space of the entire world.

Chapter 5. Global Mobile Satellite Distress System (GMSDS)
Abstract
The Global Mobile Satellite Distress System (GMSDS) is a new proposal by author of this book, which has to be developed providing seamen and airmen communities with global satellite communications and locating networks. In fact, both satellite networks have to be integrated under an GMSDS umbrella with elements capable of being operated by and an individual onboard ships and aircraft with minimum communication knowledge, even they are crew staff, and yet enable alerting with Search and Rescue (SAR) services to be reliably coordinated. This system will integrate satellite subsystems of Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) already developed by IMO and Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety Systems (GDASS) proposed and developed by author of this book in 2000, long ago the similar system was proposed by ICAO on May 2, 2016.

Chapter 6. Global Satellite Augmentation Systems (GSAS)
Abstract
The current communication systems for aeronautical application are combined by radio (HF and VHF) and satellite communications, while the current navigation applications are represented by old fundamental systems for position, velocity, and time (PVT) military determination systems such as GPS and GLONASS of the US or Russia (former-USSR) requirements, respectively.

Chapter 7. Stratospheric Platform Systems (SPSs)
Abstract
New developed Stratospheric Platform Systems (SPSs) known as High-Altitude Platforms (HAP) or Stratospheric Communication Platforms (SCP) are the modern space technique with top technologies for fixed and mobile applications, including military solutions. The stratospheric platform systems are using unmanned or manned on solar or fuel energy aircraft and unmanned on solar power airships only, both also they are carrying payloads onboard with transponders, antenna systems, and TT&C equipment. With a few very cheap remote-controlled and solar-powered airships as a better solution, a territory can be covered of some region or country including urban, suburban rural and remote areas, farms, forests, and other environments with a low density of population. There are four general telecommunications architectures, which can be used to deliver broadband wireless local loop service to consumers. Two of these architectures are space-based GEO and non-GEO satellite systems, and the other two are terrestrial rooftop cellular-like millimeter wave repeaters and stratospheric relay platforms.
