This book offers the reader the keys for a successful
understanding, integration and usage of satellite systems in
addition to next generation terrestrial networks. The DVB-S2/RCS
system is used to illustrate the integration challenges. The
presentation uses a system approach, i.e. it tackles the
terrestrial and satellite telecommunication systems’
complexity with a high level approach, focusing on the
systems’ components and on their interactions. Several
scenarios present the different paths that can be followed for the
integration of satellite systems in terrestrial networks. Quality
of Service management techniques in terrestrial and satellite
systems and the solutions to help them to interoperate are
provided. Inter-system mobility solutions and performance problems
are then addressed. The solutions proposed in this book have been
developed within the framework of European and French funded
research projects and tested with simulated or real testbeds.
