4.3.3.4 Working with antenna spacing below the sub-optimal condition
Figure 4.3.3.4.a illustrates the singular values/SDGs of the two spatial channels in 23 GHz of 5 km hop distance for a 2 × 2 MIMO system. From figure 4.3.3.4.a it can be viewed that moving from optimal antenna spacing may cause only degradation in performance. As an example it can be seen from the diagram that 5,7 m is...

4.3.3.5 Channel matrix considering link propagation
In real link also propagation effects need to be considered. This is important in order to determinate the MIMO link performance, as it will be seen in term of Capacity in clause 4.4. +3 dB (SDG) ETSI ETSI TR 102 311 V1.2.1 (2015-11) 22 In practise even the path loss attenuation and any fading attenuation effects need ...

4.3.3.6 Multi-polarized MIMO
In a MIMO system also the two different polarizations, horizontal and vertical ones, may be used in order to create diversity. Furthermore, Multi-polarized MIMO can help to increase the number of sub-channels without increasing the total number of antenna by using dual polarized antenna. This is also important to save ...

4.4 MIMO Performance
In order to show MIMO Capacity improvement it is necessary to recall SISO Capacity limit. It is the famous Shannon- Hartley Theorem which states that the Capacity is: ( ) [ ] bit/s/Hz 1 log2 ρ + = SISO C Where: B N S ⋅ = 0 ρ = SNR S̅ = Averaged received Power [W] N0 = Noise Power Spectral Density [W/Hz] B = Bandwidth [...

4.5.1 Open-Loop MIMO
When the channel is unknown as in open-loop MIMO, the spatial frequency reuse canceller try to suppress the mutual- interference that comes from the "M" TX sub-channels from the useful sub-channel at each of the "N" receiver. These kinds of techniques are similar to ones used by "traditional" interference suppression i...

In closed-loop MIMO some information related to the estimated channel is fed back from the RX to the TX. In order to reduce the information volume a quantized version of the channel state information is provided to the transmitter (figure 4.5.2.a). Many different algorithms for closed-loop MIMO were presented which req...

The optimal antenna distance (dopt), over a 6,2 km link hop length, is 7,1 m but for practical installation matter it was only possible to install antennas with 4,3 m of separation.

Broadcast may be considered a special case of multicast, and in fact in IPv6 it only exists as a part of multicast.

A point-to-point subnet has exactly two endpoint components (hosts or gat...

4.5.2.2.1 Rendezvous Point (RP)
PIM-SM requires at least one Rendezvous Point, or RP, per domain to function. Initially, receivers do not need to know the location of a source to function, as the address of the RP is distributed throughout the PIM-domain. When a receiver wants to join a group, G, it sends an IGMP member report to its first hop router...

4.6.1 General
While intra-domain multicast routing is fairly well established, with Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) accepted as the de facto multicast routing protocol, inter-domain multicast routing presents another set of challenges. The focus is on how services can be shared and distributed between providers. ...

4.6.2 Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP)
MSDP is found in draft-ietf-msdp-spec-14.txt as of March 2003 [35], and the below text is taken form there. The Multicast Source Discovery Protocol, MSDP, describes a mechanism to connect multiple PIM-SM domains together. Each PIM-SM domain uses its own independent RP(s) and does not have to depend on RPs in other doma...

4.7.1 IGMP
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used to provide information about membership of multicast groups on a network. Hosts that wish to join a multicast group instruct their network adapter cards to listen for network frames specifying a special MAC address that corresponds to the multicast class D IPv4 addr...

4.7.2 PIM-SM/IGMPv3 interaction
A PIM-SM/IGMPv3 interaction takes place when a PM-SM router receives an IGMP message regarding a group address that is in the Any Source Multicast (ASM) range. This range is defined as the entire Class D multicast space excluding the global SSM range and any locally defined Source Specific space. PIM-SM join messages a...

4.8 Source Specific Multicast
Source Specific Multicasting (SSM) involves using the capabilities of IGMP v3 to tune PIM-SM to the needs of large scale, one-to-many, multi-casting, such as in web casting. IGMP v3 allows a source to explicitly request traffic from a particular (S,G) pair without using a Rendezvous Point at all. Edge routers must be s...

4.9 Time To Live (TTL) for multicast packets
The IP multicast routing protocol uses the Time to Live (TTL) field of IP datagrams to decide how far from a sending host a given multicast packet should be forwarded. The default TTL for multicast datagrams is 1, which will result in multicast packets going only to other hosts on the local network. A setsockopt(2) cal...

4.10 Multicast scoping
Not all groups need or should have a global scope. Scoping can be used to limit the region in which data is forwarded, which is useful for performance reasons with flood and prune multicast routing protocols. It also useful for application security reasons or because multicast addresses are a scarce resource. Scoping a...

4.10.1 TTL scoping
When an IP packet is sent, the IP header field Time to Live (TTL) is set to a value between zero and 255. Every time a router forwards the packet, it decrements the TTL field in the packet header, and if the value reaches zero, the packet is dropped. (TTL should in principle also be decremented if a packet is queued fo...

4.10.2 Administrative scoping
Administrative scoping is much more flexible than TTL scoping, but suffers from a number of disadvantages. In particular, it is not possible to tell from the address of a packet where it will go unless all the scope zones that the sender is within are known. Also, as administrative boundaries are bi-directional, one sc...

One-to-many (Star-based) reliable multicast protocols, Reliable Multicast Transport Protocols are suited for data delivery from a single sender to multiple receivers, with minimal dependency on network elements. Most protocols use a receiver- or sender- initiation approach to achieve reliability. In a number of star-ba...

One-to-many (tree-based) protocols are reliable multicast protocols, which aggregate receivers into a tree-based structure. A set of multicast groups are used to establish a hierarchy of logical areas (one address per area) and retransmission responsibility is distributed over the acknowledgement tree (ACK tree) struct...

Ring-based protocols, Reliable Multicast Protocol (RMP) organize nodes into a ring. Each receiver in a ring maintains global session membership information. A token is based among all receivers to synchronies data transmissions and feedback of acknowledgements. It may also be used to synchronies the order of transmissi...

4.12 Multicast security
If the multicast transmission is of a sensitive nature, it should be encrypted. This means that the all members of the group must share the same encryption key to take benefit of the multicast transmission. There are many factors that must be taken into account when developing the desired key management architecture. I...

4.13 IPv6 and IPv4 multicast issues
Multicast applications have been developed for both IPv4 and IPv6. However IPv6 extends the IP multicasting capabilities by defining a much larger multicast address space. All of the IPv6 hosts and routers are required to support multicast. IPv6 also has no broadcast address as such; it obtains various multicast addres...

Multicast over satellite is not limited to broadband Ka/Ku - band satellite systems. Multicast services can also be delivered over L/S/C bands, as well as V/Q band in the future. However, multicast solutions favour the always-connected type of systems. Only a portion of all broadband Internet connections could be via s...
