Navigation related Communication with Galileo

During the development of GALILEO, the future
European Global Satellite Navigation System, several
studies emphasised the importance of communication
within the navigation sector and its applications.
Within this book, a detailed overview about the
different applications is given.
Not many existing communication systems, for
instance GSM, GPRS, TETRA, etc. can fulfil all
requirements needed in the communication of
navigation related data.
This book gives an overview of the different
communications systems which are available today.
The main characteristics of communication systems
are examined with their relevance to an integrated
communication system.
Summarizing the needs and current possibilites, it
is further addressed how a common data structure
with a fixed cell size in a packet switched domain
could be the basis of a global communication system
dedicated to communication of navigation related
data.
The integration of navigation and communication
functions on the same space/ground segment of
Galileo would provide, next to common cost sharing,
also many synergies for a unique selling proposition
for the GALILEO system.

Klappentext

During the development of GALILEO, the future
European Global Satellite Navigation System, several
studies emphasised the importance of communication
within the navigation sector and its applications.
Within this book, a detailed overview about the
different applications is given.

Not many existing communication systems, for
instance GSM, GPRS, TETRA, etc. can fulfil all
requirements needed in the communication of
navigation related data.
This book gives an overview of the different
communications systems which are available today.
The main characteristics of communication systems
are examined with their relevance to an integrated
communication system.

Summarizing the needs and current possibilites, it
is further addressed how a common data structure
with a fixed cell size in a packet switched domain
could be the basis of a global communication system
dedicated to communication of navigation related
data.

The integration of navigation and communication
functions on the same space/ground segment of
Galileo would provide, next to common cost sharing,
also many synergies for a unique selling proposition
for the GALILEO system.
