The design of satellite mesh protocol for the DVB-RCS TDMA networks

This paper presents satellite mesh connectivity architecture based on DVB-RCS and C2P protocol, especially in terms of connection control procedure. C2P protocol provides dynamic connectivities in the diverse network scenarios over DVB-RCS system. Satellite mesh connectivities are requested in many market sectors, such as enterprise networks and government/military segments. In these network types, voice and video communications and other data applications are the most probable services that require strongly reliable mesh connectivities. DVB created C2P protocol to be adequately able to operate with its DVB-RCS standard. However, C2P protocol is so complicated to understand that it needs to make simple architecture for specific network architecture. In this paper, satellite mesh connection control procedure is addressed for transparent satellite mesh network which is the only probable option in the country.
