Abstract

In the frame of Koreasat Project, it has been identified the task to implement a pilot satellite network module to provide LAN-to-LAN in ground system for satellite links, The pilot network will support an experiment to verify the performances of the considered applications through a satellite. This paper proposes a satellite-LAN interconnecting architecture making full use of satellite benifits and counteracting satellite demerits. The architecture provides high quality data transmission and high performance for satellite bit errors by using a connection-oriented satellite protocol which can establish multiple logical links between two nodes. As a protocol conversion method, router-type interconnection was selected to guard against problems. Based on this architecture, a satellite LAN interconnection system has been designed, which includes a 1.8 meter antenna with a 4 watt transceiver, a satellite modem and the developed satellite network interface. The system can support high speed transmission rates of uo to 1.544 Mbps and superior network management as well.
