A Hybrid Beam Hopping Design for Non-uniform Traffic in HTS Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss and propose a novel & hybrid approach for future High Throughput Satellite (HTS) networks using beam hopping and comparing the overall performance and capabilities of the proposed solution. This work focuses on a time switched payload configuration by monitoring the system resources and traffic demands based on geographical distribution. The proposed work, develops a standard protocol between satellite operators’ Network Management System (NMS) and their telemetry, tracking and control (TT&C) division to enhance overall efficiency of HTS networks which results in reducing the operational cost and boosting users’ overall experience.
