Abstract
マルチビームにより複数のセルを構成する低軌道衛星通信システムでは, ユーザ信号間の干渉量は, 干渉ユーザから衛星までの伝搬損失だけでなく, 衛星の照射するビームの利得に依存する.このため, 干渉量が伝搬損失によって決定される地上のシステムと衛星通信システムとでは, 多元接続方式の優劣が異なる可能性がある.そこで本稿では, 地上のシステムと衛星通信システムにおいて, FDMAとCDMAの優劣をキャパシティの観点から比較した.その結果, 地上のシステムではCDMAがFDMAより優れているが, 衛星通信システムにおいては, このことは成り立たないことが分かった.
This study investigates a low earth-orbital satellite(LEOS)communication system with cellular concept, where each satellite uses multi-beam to form cells. In terrestrial systems, the power of a received desired / interfering signsl is mainly determined by the propagation loss, which is often modeled to be proportional to the fourth power of the propagation distance. On the contrary, in satellite systems, the loss varies as the square of distance and, in addition to the loss, the gain of the beam also affects the interference power. Because of this difference, the superiority or inferiority of multiple access schemes discussed on terrestrial systems may not be adopted for satellite systems. Thus in this manuscript, the performance of FDMA and CDMA for LEO and terrestrial systems are compared. As a result, it is found that the well-known statement for terrestrial system, i.e., CDMA is superior to FDMA, may not always stands for LEOS systems.
