On the consideration of an UMTS/S-UMTS based GEO-MSS system architecture design

Abstract

To address the special requirements of China's future public satellite mobile network (PSMN), three system architecture schemes are proposed in this paper basing on different satellite payload processing modeling. Finally, one of them, i.e., the so-called passive part on-board switching based architecture, is selected as a proposal for further design and development of China's PSMN system, which essentially compatible to the 3GPP/UMTS R4 reference model. © 2010 Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
