To build a space-terrestrial integrated communication system is the inevitable trend in the future. Taking into account combination of 5th generation(5G) terrestrial mobile communication system and satellite communication system, it is necessary to evaluate the promising 5G air interface waveform which can be adopted by satellite. In this paper, several non-orthogonal multi-carrier transmission schemes are evaluated and generalized frequency division multiplexing(GFDM) is advised as potential scheme of space-terrestrial integrated communication system. After the overview of GFDM, the implementation of GFDM transceiver is discussed respectively in time-domain and in frequency-domain. By deriving and comparing implementation complexity, GFDM modulation in time-domain is more suitable for satellite communication system. Then the properties of demodulation algorithms are specified. Based on designed pilot subcarriers, a new improved receiving algorithm is proposed in the end of the paper. The improved algorithm solves the problem of inter subcarriers interference(ICI) in matched filtering(MF) receiver and improves the re-ceiving symbol error rate(SER) obviously. The simulation and analysis prove that the proposed algorithm is effective.展开更多

Since communication path is unknown a priori, adoption of PEP solutions to optimize TCP performance over satellite is discouraged to allow dynamic network reconfigurations. To opposite, an endto-end TCP performance evaluation on such a challenging scenario, with possible large latency and transmission losses, is herein considered of paramount importance. Several TCP variants exist to tackle different aspects of communication networks. In Linux, the different TCP congestion control schemes differ from the theoretical formulations and RFC specifications, introducing a varying set of optimizations and options. This aspect makes difficult to identify a standardeference TCP version for the proposed scenario, while testing with the real protocol stacks is deemed necessary to obtain consistent results. In addition, an innovative end-to-end TCP, namely TCP Wave, is introduced to replace the traditional window-based transmission with a burst-based strategy, representing a valid alternative to Linux TCP. To offer a fair, realistic and comprehensive evaluation, we configured a simulation setup where different Linux TCPs can be run within ns-3 network simulator and compared with TCP Wave.展开更多
