Satellite Multiple Access
Technique1. Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA)
– a satellite transponder is divided into smallerfrequencies hand segments where eachsegment is assigned to use for his uplink ordownlink frequency.
![Page 2: SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS part 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051312/547427a9b4af9fe3508b45f5/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
a. Pre-assigned – a given number ofavailable voice hand channels from eachearth station are assigned dedicateddestinations. This method is onlyeconomically feasible in situations wheresources / destination locations have verylow traffic density during the busy hour.
b. Demand Assigned (DAMA) – voice bandchannels are assigned on “as-needed”basis. It provides more versatility andmore efficient use of the frequencyspectrum.

Three Methods of Controlling DAMA Systems
a. Polling – a master station “polls” otherstations sequentially. When a positivereply is received, a channel is assignedaccordingly. As the polling intervalbecomes longer and the system tends tobecome unwieldy because of excessivepost dial delay as a call attempt waits forthe pulling interval to run its course

b. Random Access Central Control – acentral computer located at the masterstation coordinates the status of thechannels. Call requests are passed to thecentral computer and a channel isassigned if available. Once the call iscompleted and the subscriber goes onthe hook, the speech path is taken downand the channel used is returned to thedemand access pull of ideal channels.

c. Random Access Distributed Control –uses a processor controller at each earthstation accessing the system. All earthstations in the network monitor thestatus information by means of thedigital order wire circuit. When an idlechannel is seized, all users are informedto the fact and the circuit is removedfrom the poll

SPADE – Single Channel Per Carrier PCMMultiple Access Demand AssignmentEquipment – an 800-PCM encoded voiceband channels separately QPSK modulatean IF carrier frequency. Each 4 kHz voiceband channel is sampled at an 8 kHz rateand converted into bit PCM CODE. Thisproduces a 64 kbps PCM code for eachband channel

2. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
- works in the time domain and is applicableto digital systems because informationstorage is required. In this method, stationsare restricted to precise time slot. It has norestrictions on frequency or bandwidth.Presently, it is the most dominant methodused of providing the most efficient methodof transmitting digitally modulated carries(PSK).

- each earth station transmits a short burstof a digitally modulated carrier during aprecise time slot which TDMA frame. Eachburst is synchronized so that it arrives atthe satellite transponder at a differenttime avoid collision with another station'scarrier. It is a “store-and-forward” systemwhereby earth stations, can consult onlyduring their specified time slot, althoughthe incoming voice had signals iscontinuous.

- in TDMA, only one user appears on thetransponder at any given time. Each useris assigned a time slot to the satellite;transponder power and bandwidth areshared by several earth stations.

Store and Forward – a technique in which amessage received from earth termed isheld in storage until the satellite is in viewof a second earth terminal, at which timethe message is transmitted.

3. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) or Spread Spectrum Multiple Access (SSMA)
- each station may transmit whenever itwishes and can use any or all of thebandwidth allocated. Transmissions areseparated through envelope, encryption,and decryption techniques. It usesunique binary words called CHIP CODESto receive a particular earth station’stransmission.

- a correlator checks or compares orthogonal codes with original chip codes to allow access to users
- the transmitted signal is spread over part or all of the available transponder hand width in a time-frequency relationship by a code transformation. Typically, the modulated carrier is ten to hundreds of times greater than the information bandwidth.

Frequency Hopping – is a form of CDMAwhere a digital code is used to continuallychange the frequency of the carrier. Thetotal available bandwidth is partitioned tosmaller frequency bands and totaltransmission time is subdivided intosmaller time slots. Each station uses theentire RF spectrum but never occupiesmore than a small portion of thatspectrum at any one time.
