At GMD FOKUS side SIMTO has established: research contract with Technical University of Berlin ( , 6 month student, simulation tool analysis) research contract with CNUCE ( , 12 month scientist, TCP/IP via LEO) research stay of GMD researcher in Pisa (6/00, 2 weeks., introduction into ATM-Sat, agreement on workplan) research stay of CNUCE researcher in Berlin (10/00, 1 week, introduction into demonstrator, presentation of results) ð Continuation of SIMTO depends on funding Knowledge Exchange
Work Items & Topics n Network Environment & Parameters n Evaluation of Simulation Tools n Review of Project Goals n Simulation Results
Network Environment & Parameters n Defined by GMD/Fokus n Based on LEO Satellite project at GMD n Includes definition of: n Satellite Orbit n Bit-Rates n Bit Error Rates n Up- & Downlink Delay n Intra-Satellite Delay
Satellite Orbit,Bit- & Error- Rates Feeder Up & Downlink: Mbit/s BER above MAC 2*10e-8 ISL: Gbit/s BERs neglected Service Downlink: Mbit/s BER above MAC 2*10e-8 Service Uplink (fixed): Mbit/s BER above MAC 2*10e-8 Service Uplink (portable): 384 kbit/s BER above MAC 2*10e-8 LEO Satellite 1350 km orbit 45deg inclination Service Provider Portable Terminal Mobil Terminal
Propagation Delays n Up- & Downlink Delay n function of slant range n analytically gained n verified with STK n Intra-Satellite Delay n “routes in the sky” still open n simulation based n forward & backward, “left” & “right” neighbor
Evaluation of Simulation Tools
Review of Project Goals n “Real Life” Verification of Simulation Results n Test-Beds n Real Networks n Provision of Demonstration Environment n Network independent n TCP Analyzer n User Application Platform
Simulation Results & Demonstrator Set-Up n Will be presented by: Dr. Enrico Gregori & Cristina Foderi CNR / CNUCE
