ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS
16 Amplitude and Phase-shift keying or Asymmetric Phase-shift keying, (APSK), is a digital modulation scheme that
conveys data by changing, or modulating, both the amplitude and the phase of a reference signal (the carrier wave).
32 Amplitude and Phase-shift keying or Asymmetric Phase-shift keying, (APSK), is a digital modulation scheme that
conveys data by changing, or modulating, both the amplitude and the phase of a reference signal (the carrier wave).
Phase-shift keying (PSK) is a digital modulation scheme that conveys data by changing, or modulating, the phase of a
reference signal (the carrier wave).
BCH code is a multilevel cyclic variable-length digital error-correcting code used for correcting multiple random error
patterns. BCH codes may also be used with multilevel phase-shift keying whenever the number of levels is a prime
number or a power of a prime number.
Block Up-Converter (BUC) is used in the transmission (uplink) of satellite signals. It converts a band (or "block") of
frequencies from a lower frequency to a higher frequency.
Carrier-to-noise ratio, often written as CNR or C/N, is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a modulated signal.
Compressing IP/UDP/RTP Headers for Low-Speed Serial Links
Demand Assigned Multiple Access. Channel establishment on demand.
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a 6-bit field in the header of IP packets for packet classification purposes.
DSCP replaces the outdated IP precedence, a 3-bit field in the Type of Service byte of the IP header originally used to
classify and prioritize types of traffic
Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is a suite of internationally accepted open standards for digital television.
Eb/N0 (the energy per bit to noise power spectral density ratio) is an important parameter in digital communication or
data transmission. It is a normalized signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measure, also known as the "SNR per bit". It is especially
useful when comparing the bit error rate (BER) performance of different digital modulation schemes without taking
bandwidth into account.
Effective Isotropically Radiated Power
The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is an independent, non-profit, standardization
organization in the telecommunications industry (equipment makers and network operators) in Europe, with worldwide
projection.
In telecommunication and information theory, forward error correction (FEC) is a system of error control for data
transmission, whereby the sender adds redundant data to its messages, also known as an error-correction code.
TDMA service packet describing which station should transmit in which time slot . Generated ~10 times per second.
Method of transmission queues handling when packets from lower priority queue are not transmitted until all packets
from higher priority queue are transmitted.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia
information systems.
Central Station of satellite network that is managing all the terminals and resources
Special mode of operation when all stations are transmitting to one TDMA carrier and all receiving this carrier.
The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used by networked devices to send error messages—indicating, for
instance, that a requested service is not available or that a host or router could not be reached.
Intelsat Earth Station Standards
Connection from the indoor equipment (modem/router) to the outdoor equipment at the antenna normally involves
two inter-facility (IFL) cables.
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on
IP networks to establish multicast group memberships.
Channel from stations to hub.
IP is the usual abbreviation for Internet Protocol.
Low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is a linear error correcting code, a method of transmitting a message over a noisy
transmission channel, and is constructed using a sparse bipartite graph.
Low-noise block converter is the receiving converter installed at satellite antenna.
Oscillator built into RF block converter ( BUC or LNB ). Value of LO is usually written on block enclosure or in datasheet.
DVB-S2 frames 64800 bits long (including FEC). Require slightly lower C/N than short frames.
Main station of Hubless network. Master allocates bandwidth and performs stations acquisition.
Multiple channels per carrier. All TDM carriers generated by UHP can be treated as MCPC. Even if they are called SCPC.
Capability of station allowing to receive other stations via TDMA link.
TDMA working on several RF channels simultaneously. All MF channels work as one aggregate TDMA channel.
Modulation and coding mode.
Network Management System
Terminal of satellite network which is able to receive information directly from other network terminals
Forward TDM channel (MCPC) from HUB to stations.
Phase-shift keying (PSK) is a digital modulation scheme that conveys data by changing, or modulating, the phase of a
reference signal (the carrier wave).
Absolute RF level of entire signal (carrier + adjacent carriers) expressed in dBm.
Reed–Solomon error correction is an error-correcting code that works by oversampling a polynomial constructed from
the data.
