Timing synchronization in MF-TDMA systems for geostationary satellites.

The most expensive costs in satellite communication are incurred by the space segment. Therefore, effort should be focused on the efficient use of this resource. One aspect is the optimization of the physical layer, to approach the Shannon limit of channel capacity. In IP-based networks, communicati...
