Communications Using Channels Formed by Meteor Bursts.
Abstract
This report discusses the use of the meteor burst channel in communication systems for the United States Air Force. It involves four main areas of research: (1) The development of an accurate and reliable channel model based on recently available empirical data. This results in analytical expressions for communication parameters such as channel duration and throughput, etc., which can be used as design and analysis tools. (2) Evaluation of the performance of various transmission protocols. (3) The optimization and comparison of throughput for fixed and variable transmission rate strategies, subject to a constrained bit error rate. (4) Identification and definition of the basic research challenges that lie in the areas of coding, modulation and networking. (Author)
