Satellite Communication - Future Trends Dr. Surendra Pal Associate Director ISRO Satellite Centre, BANGALORE - 560 017

The word ‘ Communication ’ comes from Latin word ‘ Communico’ - meaning ‘ share ’ . It is communication more than anything else which has been responsible for the shrinking of time and distance and with the development of space technology time and distance have lost their conventional meaning, permitting men and women all over the world to share their experiences, frustrations and successes. Present day the world has become a GLOBAL VILLAGE . Man is in a shrinking Globe and expanding Universe . Society is often described as essentially people in communication - Communication in simple terms is nothing but discriminating response to a stimulus. The " quickness of the response " is increasing in leaps and bounds day by day.

There is another word ` information ' which is also closely related to communications means " contents " of message. Claude Shannon defined " information " as " Reduction of Uncertainty ". Information is also described as " any difference that makes a difference ". Information is a notch on the spectrum with raw data on low end and knowledge / wisdom on the high end. It suggests that the raw data when processed becomes information. Information minus noise is intelligence or understanding. Intelligence plus experience is knowledge ; and knowledge when further processed, looked through scholastic eyes, gets philosophized and so becomes wisdom which is adored over ages. The present day society is often referred as information society .

In the past few decades, persons and institutions have been progressively unsettled by the rapid pace of social and technological changes brought about by Communications (telephony, TV etc.). In earlier times the world around us seemed more stable and major changes in values, institutions and technology evolved more slowly. It took centuries for the Middle Ages to become the Renaissance , yet many of us have experienced major technological revolution in one life time in the last century.

Many technological reversals have been seen like the telephone which should have been on the wired network has become wireless, while the TV which was wireless now works on cable. Many individual spheres of working have become almost universal, like education has come to the drawing room from school and colleges, sectors like banking, medicines, hospitals etc which were location specific are available on net. There is tremendous convergence and fusion of communications, computers and associated technology in the present era.

For Communication there are two buzz words Communication Information Technology

We are presently getting on the crest of the third wave which is INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION REVOLUTION more appropriately termed as ‘IT ’ -Information Technology, the first being agriculture & the second being ‘Industrial Revolution’. As we become increasingly networked, our worlds will grow smaller and bigger simultaneously.

The communication tools are Conventional (Telegraph, Telephony, Radio / Wireless communication, TV, News Papers, Books, Means of transport) Not so conventional – Emerged 1970 onwards (Space Communications, VSAT, Electronic Mail, Audio / Video Conferencing, Auto text service, PCS, WLL, ISDN etc) Emerged in last 15 years (Mobile services, Card Phone service, Tele health, Tele Education, Tele Shopping, Interactive Video and Video On Demand, Multimedia system, SATNAV, Digital TV, DTH, Mobile Satellite Communication, Ultra Broad Band Services, e-Governance, e-Commerce, e-Banking, e-Library, etc.) Most important – INTERNET AND WORLD WIDE WEB New Trends Major shift from Analog to Digital, Increase in value of S/W as opposed to H/W, Extensive use of Spread Spectrum, Use of Optical Technology (Switches, LL, Communication), etc.

All these need either terrestrial or satellite channels to serve the user. The present day scenario in near future may look like: A FUTURE COMMUNICATION SCENARIO Video Camera Printer PDA Desktop PC Cable TV Television DVD AUDIO SYSTEM Cellular Telephone Fax Pager Internet Cellular Internet TV Video on Demand Home Banking Internet Telephony Network Computing Video conferencing Smart Card Space World Wide Web Terrestrial Credit Card

Everyday we manage to bounce radio waves off “ Artificial repeater ” that we have put into space at around 36000 kms height over the Earth. It is no magic that all these “ Artificial Radio Repeaters ” termed as “ Communication Satellites ” are found at that altitude. The situation changed considerably in eighties and the communications requirements became really nerve-racking. Imagine the transmission reception of signals to satellites from: A ship pitching and rolling on the high seas An aeroplane flying at a speed of >800 kms per hour An orbiting space vehicle/satellite with speeds >7 to 8 kms per second An aeroplane or a ship in distress A mountaineer/A trekker / A forest guard / An elephant /A tiger / A bird / A turtle / A dolphin A man always on move / A motor vehicle. If using satellites to communicate is a great marvel, doing the same without stopping or even slowing down is almost miracle. SATELLITE COMMUNICATION

VARIOUS CONVENTIONAL SATELLITE COMMUNICATION SERVICES: Telephony / TV Broadcasting / Data reception and distribution / Direct Television broadcasting / Disaster warning / Continuous weather monitoring / Spacecraft Vehicle Tracking and Commanding / Intersatellite links / Mail / Internet / Data mining Position (GPS) and time determination / Moving motor vehicle tracking etc. The commercial communication satellite services are rapidly becoming a large & global business increasing $20 billion in 1996 and $75 billion by year 2005. (Projections have come down to $$66.5 billion due to Iridium failure and overall slump in the market). For 2010 the projections are for $100 billion

Current and Trends in Worldwide Satellite Services- 2010 300 commercial satellite systems Near 7500 transponders VSAT - near 1.2 million BSS TV - 125 million users MSS - 1.75 million users BSS - (Sound) - near 15 million

Communication Trends - 2020 Broadband for All Access Everywhere Future is mainly wired Fiber to the Home: It will become affordable Convergence between wireless access, wireless mobile, wireless LAN., Satellite links and Fixed Radio for Access in remote and sparingly populated areas - using LEO, MEO and GEO systems Satellite links for security networks

Before one goes ahead with communication satellites, it will be quite important & relevant to talk about latest arrival on the communication technology scene: the INTERNET & THE WEB. Internet the new incarnation of mass communication is becoming quite popular. Internet the parasite which has almost eaten away the host - the telecom channels, is influencing our every sphere of life.

Internet which we know today has come to Asia a couple of years back and in 2000 to India also will play an important role at least till 2015 AD. The internet provides a vast array of services and acts like a multimedia system, information resource and ways to perform work and engage in commerce. It has an estimated 600 million users which gets doubled every year. The safest prediction is that by 2015 the Internet, as we know it, will no longer exist. There will just be the Net a ubiquitous, broadband data dial-tone provided by a cable telephone, wireless or satellite operators.

How big according to The Economist, a conservative and perceptive publication not normally known for exaggeration, the impact is likely to be “ ahead of the telephone and television but behind the printing press and the motorcar”. The point is that the Net is a phenomenon that cannot be ignored. It is an agent of change in all sectors of society.

The changes won't occur in isolation, but they will be going on simultaneously, resulting in unpredictable, unanticipated synergy. In turn, this will lead to truly profound changes in society & the present technological paradigm. To help all these & to spread the net at a faster pace even to inaccessible & remote places Satellite Communication plays a major role, besides the conventional terrestrial links, optical links etc., which cater to cities and larger population bases owning to the economics.

Having talked about INTERNET let us come back to space communications. The most popular one is going to be: MOBILE PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS

The ground stations which are becoming smaller and smaller day by day will be of pocket size calculator. The size of the ground station & that of satellites have gone a tremendous change over years.

In the foreseeable future new equipments and techniques will be used in satellite technology which will extend and improve the possibilities of satellite communications beyond our present imaginations. Some of these we discuss today: The size of Geo satellite will continue to increase. Incremental improvements are foreseen in intelligent bus design which takes care of the spacecraft control traffic control and particularly the thermal control to allow the use of prime power beyond 10 to 15 KWS. Small GEOs for smaller capacity routes will also be used (one may seriously start thinking about I-2000 and even Met Sat bus for Indian conditions).

Efficient signal processors and switching equipment will enable signal processing to be performed onboard right down to operations similar to switching in exchanges which will provide better mesh connectivity. ATM switches onboard space crafts may be used. Onboard multiplexing of digital TV transmission may be done. Networking technology for the seamless integration of high data rate communication satellites & terrestrial facilities. Direct connections between satellites (Inter satellite links) will shorten the transmission routes. The ISLs could be in millimeter waves or even in optical domain.

The use of higher frequency bands (Ka band and V band) & frequency reuse by multiple beams will enlarge the available bandwidths and thus the transmission capacity. Future even space laser communication technique may be employed to increase the data rates to giga bits. Miniaturization of electronics will enhance the launch capabilities & reduce the cost. High speed two way INTERNET-through VSAT. This avoids the installation of broad band access through terrestrial network. It can provide upto 40 MBPS links.

The new breed of satellites will be agile, flexible, intelligent & powerful. They will have digital bandwidth. This makes the services they carry an easy fit in the present digital networks with a specific provider ground equipment. They will: Switch & route high data rates instantaneously among thousands of users. Continuously change the antenna beam patterns/eirp as traffic demands Buffer and multiplex data Null interference, providing a strong, clear signal & use of adaptic arrays & processing. Cross link to other satellites (ISL: Optical or V-band) Use of Soft radio

The future satellites will be : Small Geo - co-located at a single point. Suitable for small transponder demands even suitable for DTH-Ka Band Large Geo - Suitable for multiple established services/Ku & Ka Band. Mini/micro/mono & pico satellites. The satellite driven broadband system become more popular because it provides the last mile solution which is a great boon for developing countries.

Satellites have innate advantage that make them an attractive alternative or complement to terrestrial broadband circuits. First is speed they can be built, launched and put into service in as little as 12 to 24 months providing the last mile connection. It also provides bandwidth on demand. User pays for the time which he utilizes. Although broad band satellites are considered to be poor cousins of OFC - No country requires more than what satellite cannot give. Europe requirement is 450 Mbits/s and US bound capacity is 3.5 Gbits/S. Many times one feels that for the over capacity of the fibre one has to pay while for space based links you pay for the time you use.

In my opinion SPACE COMMUNICATION SCENARIO will be: The future Telecommunication spacecraft will be developed from transmission in to Information Satellites ( INFOSAT ). They will be given many of the properties of terrestrial telephone exchanges and signal processing equipments and it will be possible to integrate them directly into future global networks. They will thus permit immediate applications of many existing and future services. Because of their inherent built up flexibility, these satellites will be able to support and speed up the initial experimental phase of many new services before their trial on terrestrial networks. These type of satellites will enable new services to be tried out over a large area before being put in to the market and optimally adapted to suit the most appropriate transmission medium.

The satellite platform will have multiple reconfigurable antennas/transmitters with dynamic power sharing / Receivers in various frequency ranges / large reconfigurable switching matrices at baseband and at RF level / intersatellite links permitting signals to be exchanged between satellites according to changing requirements / complex and efficient analog / optical / digital signal processors / New modulation technique and multiple access techniques. It will be sufficiently broadband systems & may have even optical space communication components.

The satellites besides their autonomous control and power generation equipment may have sensors to observe the earth’s atmosphere and pass the data to an appropriate station after processing. This will help to deal with the situation like Orissa Cyclone. Such a system will obviously have Geo synchronous spacecraft with some orbiting satellites to take care of North/South pole regions.

Relative Size of Rural Markets There are almost twice as many 'lower middle income' households in rural areas as in the urban areas. At the highest income level there are 2.3 million urban households as against 1.6 million households in rural areas. Middle and high-income households in rural India is expected to grow from 80 million to 111 million by 2007. In urban India, the same is expected to grow from 46 million to 59 million. Thus, the absolute size of rural India is expected to be double that of urban India.

VDSL: Access To Future Prof. Surendra Prasad IIT Delhi

Broadband Broadband is a ‘broad bandwidth’ connection. It allows a large amount of data to travel through a medium at the same time. Always on (no dial-up modems). Broadband options: Wireless Digital Subscriber line (DSL) Multiple options: ADSL, HDSL, VDSL etc. Dedicated Bandwidth Cable Uses Traditional Cable TV Systems Shared bandwidth Power-line broadband Uses electric utility lines to transfer data Emerging technology, still in testing phase.

DSL Copper wire was only supposed to be used for the voice data (<4 KHz), speed <56 kbps To increase the data rate Increase the band-width Increase the transmit power DSL Evolution Basic Rate ISDN – voice band HDSL -- 772 KHz ADSL -- 1.1 MHz ADSL2+ -- 2.2 MHz VDSL2 -- 30 MHz  100+ Mbps rate Typical Loop Lengths more than 12 kft 10-15 kft 8-12 kft 5-10 kft 2-3 kft

Broadband is DSL ! DSL is largest fraction (over 70% of broadband) And growing faster (even fiber connects are VDSL) It costs a lot less *Graphs – courtesy Proff Cioffi, Stanford University. 360M in 2012 Many are FTTB With VDSL to customer

Technical Challenges in DSL Changing environment with customer adds and drops with daily appliance usage patterns with construction in the community Interference and noise interference from in-home sources interference from outside sources interference from other DSL lines (crosstalk) wiring problems (in-home and outside)

DMT DSL Data is transmitted using “tones” by dividing the given frequency range into equally spaced bins. These tones are orthogonal in nature. The binary information sequence is then “modulated” in all the tones This technique is used as OFDM in wireless too. Typically 4000 different tones are employed

DSM Overview -1 Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) aims at increasing the capacity of DSL systems by reducing the impact of “Self Cross Talks” and “alien” Cross-Talks by field driven Spectrum Management. Self-Crosstalk -- Interference arising due to users in the same binder. Alien Crosstalk – Interference due to non-bundled users. DSM runs the mechanisms to reduce the impact of self cross talks in the field on the DSP, possibly during show time. Show time ensures the user is not impacted due to changing environment.

DSM – Overview -2 DSM-x-- There are 3 levels 1, 2, 3 of DSM that reflect an increasing access to field and real time information about the neighboring self disturbers. From DSM-1 to DSM-3 both mechanisms and protocols evolve from SISO to MIMO schemes DSM 1 is SISO (Single Input Single Output) DSM 2 and DSM 3 are MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple output)

DSM – 1 Also called SISO Crosstalk avoidance The spectrum of the DSL user can be shaped based on the information of the noise in different channels. The PSD for individuals users shaped. Different tones operated with different power Water filling is used. Power allocation based on different noise conditions on tones. Advantages : Stable lines, reduced training lengths.

DSM-2 MIMO Crosstalk Avoidance Spectral co-operation among different users. PSD Optimization: Power distribution across the tones for all the users so that disturbance is minimized. Optimum Spectrum Balancing algorithm, Iterative Water Filling (IWF) etc used Advantages : Power control, green DSL

DSM - 3 MIMO Self-Far End Cross Talk Cancellation and alien Cross Talk Cancellation – ensures Data Rate > 100 Mbps. Vectoring ( Co-operation at the CO) used. IN Downstream, the transmitted symbols to all the CPEs are known to CO. Precoding (self-FEXT precompensation) can be done In the Upstream, the received symbols are known at the CPE. Hence, Cancellation can be done. Advantages : Low power, higher rates but higher silicon cost.

DSM 3 US System Overview FEXT Crosstalk occurs due to the electromagnetic interference between surrounding copper wires Crosstalk is the primary factor limiting the bit rate and loop reach achievable by VDSL Technical term : Far End Cross Talk (FEXT) DS has a similar structure CO CPE US Modems in your house

DSM 3 Research Issues. How to cancel cross-talk? Will involve the DSM3 or vectoring. How to remove alien noise? – Spatial Correlation reduction among co-operating users. How to allocate power across different tones, also called Optimal Spectrum Balancing DSM level 2 problem Key parameters: To get the best performance ( Data Rate) Minimize the computational complexity Involves efficient receiver and transmitter design

DSM 3 Research Focus Full FEXT Cancellation Expectation Maximization based Algorithms (SAGE) Off Diagonal MIMO Precoding/Cancellation (ODMC /ODMP) Partial Cancellation Optimal Choice of what to Cancel and what not to! Alien Noise Cancellation Co-operative MIMO for alien noise cancellation Efficient Crosstalk channel estimation SAGE based, Markov Model based. In addition: Main focus is on to keep the complexity of implementation as low as we can

Full FEXT Cancellation We employ EM based technique. Basic system model for user no. 1 Main Idea : Iterative estimation procedure is employed Rapid convergence Estimate FEXT noise and subtract it

Partial Cancellation Full Cancellation is desirable But complexity requirements are enormous 4000 tones, 100 Users  billions of flops !!! Main Idea: Challenge: To determine which cross-talker to cancel on what “tone” for a given victim Constraint: Total complexity is constant Various resource allocation strategies possible Cancel only dominant cross talkers, enjoy maximum gain !

Conclusion Future of VDSL lies in DSM Key development in the area of the VDSL Involves co-operation among users – called Vectoring. Involves lots of interesting signal processing challenges DSM enables higher speed, needs lower power than the current DSL standards Major telecom growth vehicle, offers broadband, IPTV, HDTV etc

Cross Layer Design Wireless channel characterized by … Signal strength variation (fading) over time, frequency, space Interference Limited battery life at hosts Physical layer no longer viewable as fixed rate bit pipe Resource allocation must account for channel quality Adaptive MAC Adaptive PHY – Modulation and Coding Significant performance gains in wireless networks by Cross-Layer Design

Cross Layer Scheduling Cross Layer Scheduling in multi user systems presents a new paradigm that takes advantage of fading instead of combating fading

SNR Fluctuations in a Multiuser System SNR Time User 2 User 1 User 3

Multiuser Diversity: A New Form of Diversity Channel fades independently for each user so … Different users experience different channel gains High probability that some user will have a strong channel BS schedules the user with the strongest (best) channel Hence … “Opportunistic Scheduling” Transmitting in favorable channel condition also minimizes power but at the expense of delay Scheduling- Power is minimized subject to delay constraint

Energy Efficient Scheduling Single Receiver (Base Station) and multiple transmitters Base station is the centralized scheduler

Energy Efficient Scheduling Queue transition, average queue length, average power for user i Problem: Minimize the power consumption of each user subject to delay constraint of each user Multi-objective constrained optimization problem

Uplink Solution Visualize a link between user and base station as a Point-to-Point scenario Each user Determines its transmission rate as if it was the only user Informs this rate to the base station The base station schedules the user with the highest rate Queue transitions for a user who is scheduled and not for others Power and queue cost are appropriately updated

Uplink Solution – Auction Interpretation The base station auctions each time slot The user quoting the highest rate wins the bid User quote rates that are just sufficient to satisfy their delay constraints Quoting unnecessarily high rates not favorable since power minimization is the objective It can be proved that the queue lengths converge to cooperative equilibrium and delay constraints are satisfied Nitin Salodkar, Abhay Karandikar, Vivek Borkar, “A Stable On-line algorithm for Energy Efficient Scheduling” to appear in IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing

Conclusions- Way Forward 4G Standards are evolving Lot of opportunities to contribute in International standards Focus- more spectral efficiency using both physical layer and MAC layer mechanisms Emerging areas Intelligent scheduling for cooperative communications Peer to Peer applications and network coding Distributed antenna system QoS Mechanics for Delay Sensitive and Delay optimization

Wireless Networks of Multifunction Smart Sensors (WSNs) A smart sensor node is popularly called a mote Sensing: temperature, chemicals, light, infrared, biosensors, strain, sound, vibration (often using MEMS technology) Processing: e.g., 16-bit, 8 Mhz, 48KB flash, 10 KB RAM with a simple OS Digital radio: e.g., ISM band; a few Kbps Battery: e.g., 100mAh (“button” batteries) to 2000mAh (2 AA batteries)

Getting a Multi-Year Lifetime Today’s devices: active : 5–10mA; sleep : .001mA 1000mAh battery; multiyear life time ) 1% active. Devices need to alternate through sleep-wake cycles Future devices: active : 0.1mA to 1mA; sleep : .001mA Energy scavenging Nodes can draw power from their environment, Using appropriate devices or mechanisms e.g., from ambient light or vibrations Need software and algorithms that further conserve energy

The Structure and Operation of a WSN Node Deployment Fusion centre Smart sensor nodes are distributed over the observation field Placement at specific locations, or random deployment (if the area is inaccessible) Deployment objectives Sensor coverage, and radio connectivity Redudancy, and time sharing

The Structure and Operation of a WSN Self Organisation Fusion centre Nodes discover each other; e.g., “Hello” protocol Can learn about the “quality” of communication with neighbours Self-organise to form a multihop wireless network Nodes also need to learn their coordinates Topology formation objectives Energy efficiency Throughput and delay

Why Should We Rely on Self-Organisation? In some applications there will be 1000s of nodes May not be possible to (or may prefer not to) make a planned layout Neighbour discovery In fact, the notion of “neighbour” is defined only in situ Self-Localisation GPS might not be available, or might not be practical in the situation Impractical to program each node with its location Particularly if there is some randomness in the node locations Also true even if nodes are placed in a grid Packet forwarding will need to be adaptive Due to node sleep-wake cycling, energy balancing, node failure Self-organisation may have to be repeated periodically There will be node failures over time Even the environment might change over time There could be jamming and damage

The Structure and Operation of a WSN A Distributed Measurement System Each sensor makes measurements in its environment e.g., Acoustics, vibration, temperature, infra-red Fusion centre measurements at some sampling rate

The Structure and Operation of a WSN Distributed Signal Processing, and Inference Fusion centre flow of partial computations Computation algorithms in nodes measurements at some sampling rate Nodes contain pieces of a distributed signal processing algorithm Computations are performed on the measurements Partial results flow over the links Downstream nodes combine their inputs and forward the results The MAC schedules the transmissions in the network Global objective rather than point-to-point communication These need not be “TCP/IP networks”
