RESEARCH IN DEVELOPING A SIGNALING AND SUPERVISORY CONTROL PLAN FOR TACTICAL NAVY COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS. APPENDIX A (SYSTEM CONTROL FOR TACTICAL SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS) AND APPENDIX B (SSC FOR SWITCHED SYSTEMS).

Abstract

The following four capabilities of signaling and supervisory control (SSC) are of particular importance in satellite communications: (1) Minimization of time on circuit through automatic signaling, thus increasing the effective message capacity, improving speed and reliability, and reducing cost. (2) Efficient sharing of the limited satellite capacity, with the same improvements. (3) Insuring compatibility across system and Service lines to allow rapid and reliable information exchange outside the satellite allocation itself. (4) Increasing security by (1) command of special satellite capabilities (for example, on-board processing spread spectrum modes, and beam narrowing); (2) access to multiple facilities; (3) positive authentication; and (4) rapid signaling.
