Magister presented a research paper at the joint satellite systems conference in Canada

We presented our research paper “System level modeling of DVB-S2X in High Throughput Satellite System” (Lauri Sormunen, Jani Puttonen, Janne Kurjenniemi) in a joint satellite systems conference.

The 24th Ka and Broadband Communications Conference and the 36th International Communications Satellite Systems Conference (ICSSC) took place in Niagara Falls, Canada from October 15th to 18th, 2018.

The paper presents a simulative model of DVB-S2X developed for Satellite Network Simulator 3 (SNS3) and a system level performance analysis compared with the previous standard, DVB-S2. Lauri Sormunen presented the paper in ICSSC.

DVB-S2X is a satellite digital broadcasting standard intended to extend the old DVB-S2, which is utilized, for example, by many satellite TV receivers. The newer standard offers more efficient transmissions enabling higher bit-rates, while also providing means of passing frames in severe link conditions. The physical layer changes in the standard further support other new potential technologies, such as beam hopping.
