A copulas-based time series synthesizer for mobile satellite communications operating above 10 GHz

In this paper, a synthesizer of rain attenuation time series is presented for a mobile satellite communications system operating at Ku-band and above. In order to support high data rates for mobile terminals in various regions, satellite communication systems could migrate to higher frequency bands....

Summary:In this paper, a synthesizer of rain attenuation time series is presented for a mobile satellite communications system operating at Ku-band and above. In order to support high data rates for mobile terminals in various regions, satellite communication systems could migrate to higher frequency bands. However, the rain attenuation first and second order statistics in mobile satellite systems differ to the fixed stations. Here, an existing copulas-based synthesizer is modified to generate rain attenuation time series and reproduce the statistics of a mobile link under rain. New parameters are extracted and the difference between the first and second order statistics are shown. More particularly, the difference on Kendall's tau parameter, time diversity gain and fade slope statistics between a mobile user and fixed user for a specific scenario are examined.
