17、rmination of the visibility statistics of space stations operating in circular non-geosynchronous orbits as seen by a terrestrial station 1 Introduction In order to develop sharing criteria between low-Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites and FS systems, it is necessary to determine how often a satellite

18、 will be visible in any direction for a particular terrestrial station or position and how strong will be the interference received from it. The purpose of this Annex is to develop the equations necessary to simulate the operation of a LEO satellite and thereby the necessary statistics. The developm

19、ent is sufficiently general that the results can be applied either for a random model or for a time evolutionary model. Section 2 of this Annex provides a development of the equations of motion of a satellite, which is in a circular orbit, in an inertial coordinate system. In 3, these equations are

20、transformed to a coordinate system fixed on the Earth. The azimuth and distance of the sub-satellite point from a position on the surface of the Earth are determined in 4. In 5, the expressions for the elevation and off-boresight angle of the satellite are developed, and a simple criterion for testi

21、ng for the visibility of a satellite that is above a particular position on the Earth is given. A right-handed spherical coordinate system is used throughout this development for Earth-centred coordinates with (r, , ) where r is the distance from the origin, is the angular distance from the North Po

22、le, and is the angle around the Pole. 2 The satellite in the inertial frame In order to determine the position of the satellite in the inertial frame, its position in the orbital plane must first be determined. For a body in a circular orbit around the Earth this description involves four Keplerian

23、orbital parameters as follows: Rs : orbital radius, the distance from the centre of the Earth to the satellite I : inclination angle (rad), the angle between the orbital plane and the Earths equatorial plane. It is measured from 0 to and is less than /2 if the satellite is headed eastward as it cros

24、ses the equatorial plane from South to North and greater than /2 if the satellite is headed westward as it crosses the equatorial plane from South to North s: angular distance (rad) along the equatorial plane from the zero reference to the position of the ascending node, the intersection where the p

25、lane of the satellite crosses the equatorial plane from South to North M : mean anomaly (rad), the angular arc in the satellite orbital plane measured from the ascending node to the position of the satellite. To determine the coordinates of the satellite in the inertial spherical coordinate system,

26、one must first determine the position of the satellite referenced to 0, the angular position or longitude of the ascending node, measured East of the first point of Aries. The position of the sub-satellite point is denoted by sand 0. 4 Rec. ITU-R F.1108-4 These coordinates may be determined by spher

RE/ Rs= (13) By using (13) in (9), it is possible to develop an expression for the range of longitudes that are within this circle of visibility for a particular sub

Annex 2 Simulation of interference into analogue fixed wireless routes from LEO satellites 1 Introduction This Annex describes a computer program which im

30、plements the mathematical relationships developed in Annex 1. The resulting program can be used as an analysis tool for examining interference into simulated analogue fixed wireless networks that share spectrum with LEO satellites representative of those that may operate in bands below 3 GHz. A numb

ITU-R F.1108-4 2 Description of the model The program mathematically simulates the path of a constellation of LEO taking into account the Earths rotation and orbit precession effects. Interference is calculated for eac

The program accumulates interference density data for each fixed wireless route for the period of the simulation. The program converts this dat

33、a into a probability distribution for each route so that the performance of each route can be separately analysed. The results of the example scenarios described here are compared with the reference performance requirements described in Fig. 1 of Recommendation ITU-R SF.357. Recommen-dation ITU-R SF

40、e curves in Fig. 7 represent the distributions of received interference distributions at different latitudes from single orbiting satellites that have high orbit angles (80). It is interesting to note here that if the curve plots were extrapolated back to the y axis for X = 0 it would approximately

41、represent the percent of time that the satellites were visible to the FS systems at the indicated latitudes. Conversely the inverse of that number would also approximate the number of satellites needed to achieve constant single satellite visibility. It follows from a close observation of these curv

42、e plots in Fig. 7 that fewer satellites would be needed to continuously illuminate higher latitudes systems since the distribution for the 65 latitude fixed wireless routes does appear to intercept the y axis at a much higher point. 12 Rec.

This would sugges
