1 ARE STAR CONTRIBUTION NETWORKS MORE BANDWIDTH EFFICIENT THAN MESH NETWORKS? Dirk Breynaert, Newtec 04 Augustus 2005 Abstract The article is mainly investigating the satellite bandwidth efficiency of MESH and STAR networks in the Contribution & Exchange DTV market, not so much other advantages or disadvantages. As a reference, 2 types of satellite uplink contours are considered : Type 1 - Ku-band with regional coverage (e.g. Europe) and Type 2 - Ku SPOT coverage (e.g. Europe is covered with 4 spots). The downlink contour is always considered to be with regional coverage. MESH Networks are only using Type 1, while STAR Networks can use Type 1 & Type 2. Although STAR Networks links require a double hop and as such require twice satellite bandwidth, the conclusion is that at the end these are slightly requiring less satellite bandwidth than MESH Networks for the same size of contribution or exchange earth stations. Introduction In general, MESH link have balanced up & downlink. Each contributing 3 db to the total link performance. In case a big HUB station would be used in between, a simple model would be that, power bandwidth product would be 3 db higher, resulting in 1.5 db or factor 1.41 capacity increase. Due to the fact that however 2 links are required in STAR (inbound + outbound) and 1 link in MESH, this would mean that efficiency of STAR would be 71% of MESH Networks. However, two factors can play an important role in this comparison. In STAR Networks, the uplink & downlink are largely decoupled and the carrier intermodulation effect in the satellite is negligible ; so that in inbound, less system margin is required. Another effect is that in STAR outbound, a quasi saturated carrier can be used. Both effects are calculated in more detail hereafter and they result in a conclusion that STAR Networks are more satellite bandwidth efficient than MESH Networks. MESH Network over Regional Contours a) Satellite The Conventional satellites for regional usage are e.g. covering Europe (e.g. EUTELSAT) or the Middle East & North Africa (e.g. ARABSAT) regions in the Ku-band. Typical transponder characteristics are EIRP SAT 47.5 dbw, G/T 2 db/k and 36 MHz band. For multicarrier operation, typical parameters are GIBO 9 db, GOBO 4 db and CAR/INTERMOD 20 db. b) Earth Stations For contribution links, antenna diameters of max. 1.8 meter seems to be suitable. For specific DSNG applications, 1.2 meter is more recommended. Since often, at least a second carrier is used for general communication, a typical SSPA size for a 4 Mbps - video link is 20 Watt with 2 db OBO ; G/T = 23.6 db/k. An availability of 99.95% is used as a typical reference. 1
2 c) Link budget of MESH Link MESH connections require that the uplink and downlink are more or less balanced. However, if there is a fading at the uplink stations, all receive stations will feel the effect. In case of multicast contribution, there is also a risk that there is a reasonable probability that at least 1 receive station is also experiencing a simultaneous downlink fade. For that reason, a system margin of 4 db has been used in the link budget calculations (shown in Table 1). The outcome is that 4 Mbps requires a DVB-S2 carrier with QPSK 2/3 and Ebi/No = 2.3 db (*). The transponder supports up to 9.05 carriers of 4 Mbps or 36.2 Mbps in total. As said, this requires that the transponder gain setting is tuned to a balanced up and downlink. In case only a part of the transponder is rented, the up or downlink would be dominating and this would result in less efficient bandwidth use. In case of an earth station uplink fade, it will not be possible anymore to receive it's own transmission due to on-site downlink fade. Also stations in the close neighbourhood (± 30 km) will experience such problem. This could be very annoying in case of a 1.8 meter DSNG truck close to a 1.8 meter studio station. Another disadvantage is that in case of a mix of receive station antennas, it will not be possible to send occasionally to a smaller earth station than 1.8 meter, e.g. a 1.2 meter Fly Away cannot see it's own transmission. STAR Network over Regional Contours a) Satellite A similar satellite than for the above described MESH network is considered hereafter. Since the downlink is received by a big HUB station, more transponder back-off can be allowed. GIBO 11 db GOBO 6 db CAR/INTERMOD 22 db. b) Contribution Stations Similar earth stations as for MESH are assumed. Antenna : 1.8 meter SSPA : 20 Watt with OBO = 2 db G/T : 23.6 db/k c) HUB Stations A large HUB station in a not heavy rain area is chosen. Antenna : 8.0 meter HPA : 200 Watt with OBO = 2 db G/T : 36.5 db/k d) Link budget of STAR inbound link It is assumed that availability of the uplink is 99.95% and of the downlink is 99.99% (negligible). In fact the dominating factor is the EIRP of the earth station and the G/T of the satellite. If adjacent stations are sending out at higher levels than normal, this will not effect the link budget. Level variation in the inbound has no impact on the outbound. Also intermod in the satellite is more negligible than in the MESH network. As a consequence, a system margin of 2 db is considered as sufficient. The outcome is that 4 Mbps requires a DVB-S2 carrier with 16 APSK 2/3 and Ebi/No = 5.6 db (see Table 2) (*). The transponder supports up to carriers of 4 Mbps or Mbps in total. This is about the double of the MESH network. e) Link budget of STAR outbound link It is assumed that availability of the uplink is 99.99% (negligible) and of the downlink is 99.95%. In fact the dominating factor is the EIRP of the satellite and the G/T of the receive station. The transponder will however be used via ALC mode and close to saturation IBO = 3.8 db, OBO = 1.6 db to allow single carrier 16APSK transmission. (*) See Application Note NTC/2063xF/APN02 2
3 The DVB-S2 carrier can use 16 APSK with small predistortion realising only a link degradation of 0.5 db. This is a very stable concept and is used for the normal TV broadcasting stations. It is therefore sufficient to foresee a system margin of = 2.5 db. The outcome is that a full transponder allows to send Mbps as a DVB-S2 16APSK 2/3 30 Mbaud carrier (see Table 3). It is however also possible to receive info by smaller stations e.g. 1.2 meter DSNG stations. In such as case, a less efficient MODCOD could be used. In case of a point-to-point link to 1 destination, it is also possible to activate the ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation) mode in 16APSK 8/9 allowing Mbps to be send over a 30 Mbaud carrier. f) Combination of inbound + outbound link In this case, it is also possible to have an uplink fade in the inbound and a simultaneous downlink fade in the outbound. The total link will still be OK Compared to the MESH concept, the transponder efficiency is better since capacity is ( )/2 = 73.2 Mbps. However since 2 links are required instead of the MESH 1 link, the net result is 73.2/2 = 36.6 Mbps ; which is only 1% higher than the full MESH concept. STAR Network using Spot Inbound and Regional Outbound contour b) Contribution Stations Similar as full Regional Contour concept, except that a lower power SSPA can be used. Antenna : 1.8 meter SSPA : 8 Watt with OBO = 2 db G/T : 23.6 db/k c) HUB Stations Similar as full Regional Contour config except that lower power SSPA can be used. HPA : 50 Watt with OBO = 2 db G/T : 36.5 db/k d) Link budget of STAR inbound link Compared to the full Regional Contour Concept, the SSPA is 4 db less ; G/T of satellite is 6 db higher. The outcome is that 4 Mbps requires a DVB-S2 carrier with 16APSK 3/4 and Ebi/No = 6.0 db (see Table 4). The transponder supports up to carriers of 4 Mbps or Mbps. e) Link budget of STAR outbound link Same as the STAR full Regional Contour Concept. f) Combination of inbound + outbound link The average efficiency is ( )/2 = 76.7 Mbps. However since 2 links are required instead of the MESH 1 link, the net result is 76.7/2 = 38.4 Mbps ; which is only 6% higher than the full MESH concept. However the contribution stations only require 8 Watt instead of 20 Watt. a) Satellite Such satellite are typically used in Broadband Access Applications (e.g. Eutelsat AB3). The main difference with the earlier described full regional contour is that the G/T of the satellite is typically around 8 db/k. The remaining characteristics are similar than before. 3
4 Conclusions (*) MESH Networks - They require a good control of the earth station EIRP levels and of the transponder gain settings. - They require also that there are no large variations in the antenna diameters. - They are very sensitive to simultaneous up & downlink fading events. (*) STAR networks in full regional contours - They are not very sensitive to earth station EIRP variation. - They allow a mix of different antenna sizes in inbound and outbound. - They are insensitive to simultaneous fading events at the contribution earth stations. - They allow better control of satellite usage via the HUB station. - They are at least 1% more efficient than MESH. - Due to double hop, they have higher end-to-end delay. (*) STAR networks with inbound spot customers and outbound regional contours - Same conclusions as STAR full regional contour concept, except that the powers in the contribution station and in the HUB station can be significantly reduce. - They are at least 6% more efficient than MESH networks.
