16-1 CELLULAR TELEPHONY

Cellular telephony is designed to provide


communications between two moving units, called
mobile stations (MSs), or between one mobile unit and
one stationary unit, often called a land unit.

The main goal of third-generation


cellular telephony is to provide
universal personal communication.

16-2 SATELLITE NETWORKS

A satellite network is a combination of nodes, some of


which are satellites, that provides communication from
one point on the Earth to another. A node in the
network can be a satellite, an Earth station, or an end-
user terminal or telephone.

16.21
Example 16.1

What is the period of the Moon, according to Kepler’s


law?

Here C is a constant approximately equal to 1/100. The


period is in seconds and the distance in kilometers.

16.22
Example 16.1 (continued)

Solution
The Moon is located approximately 384,000 km above the
Earth. The radius of the Earth is 6378 km. Applying the
formula, we get.

16.23
Example 16.2

According to Kepler’s law, what is the period of a satellite


that is located at an orbit approximately 35,786 km above
the Earth?

Solution
Applying the formula, we get

16.24
Example 16.2 (continued)

This means that a satellite located at 35,786 km has a


period of 24 h, which is the same as the rotation period of
the Earth. A satellite like this is said to be stationary to the
Earth. The orbit, as we will see, is called a
geosynchronous orbit.

16.33
Note

The Iridium system has 66 satellites in


six LEO orbits, each at an
altitude of 750 km.

16.34
Note

Iridium is designed to provide direct


worldwide voice and data
communication using
handheld terminals, a service similar to
cellular telephony but on a global scale.
