Enhanced satellite communication model associated with fuzzy channel

Wireless channel prediction and impairment estimations have always been a popular area for research. Therefore, a composite model for channel induced impairments on satellite communication systems operating at frequencies above 10 GHz has been presented in this paper. Such systems show a high dependency on varying propagation characteristics due to often occurring dust and sand (DUSA) storms in the first channel (desert area), and due to rain impairments in the second channel (tropical region). Furthermore, the presented simulations for DUSA storms are based on varying levels of visibility at different altitudes along with the non-uniform DUSA particles distribution. Three-dimensional relationships are then presented for these attenuations with different weather parameters such as visibility, DUSA particles size, rainfall rate (RR), frequency, location, and propagation angle, to provide the proposed system with an enhanced view of satellite’s parameters. Finally, this paper proposes Enhanced Weather Alert Control Scheme (EWACS), which supports Decision Support System (DSS), that can provide the system with more flexibility by adaptively controlling different combinations of modulation, coding, radio signal strength, frame size configuration, and data rate. This system acts to improve QoS and provides an immense support to the designer for dynamic reconfiguration of the operational satellite system parameters under different weather conditions.
