Preface
The two volumes of this book were written in order to form a bridge between
potential readers and current GMSC trends, system concepts and network archi-
tecture by using a very simple style with easily comprehensible many technical
information, characteristics, graphicons, figures, illustrations, and mathematic
equations.
ThespecialpartofGMSCformaritime,land,andaeronauticalCNSapplications
are new techniques for modern transportation concerns and their fleets at sea, on
land,andintheairfortheenhancementofcommercialanddistresscommunications
andtrackingsolutions.ThemodernGMSCinfrastructuresaregreatlyimportantfor
all transportationcompanies, theirsuccessful commerce,carriage and management
of vessels, land vehicles, and aircraft. Finally, modern, innovative techniques and
technology in GMSC are needed for newly developed mobile broadband and
multimedia communications and for IT, CNS, and Global Navigation Satellite
Systems (GNSS).
The Volume 2 of this book, nominated as “Applications,” consists of seven
chapters on the following particular subjects:
Chapter 1: Inmarsat GEO GMSC System describes the Inmarsat system, Space
Segment, ground segment, and standards for maritime, land, and aeronautical
applications. In addition, this chapter is including Maritime System Architecture
and Operations, Land System Architecture and Operations, and Aeronautical
System Architecture and Operations, Maritime Emergency and Safety Service and
Aeronautical Emergency and Safety Service with special contribution on Global
Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) developed by author of this
book in 2000, 16 years before the ICAO proposal.
Chapter 2: Non-GEO GMSC Systems comments particularly upon modern big
LEO systems, such as Globalstar and Iridium, Little LEO Orbcomm and Gonets
Leosat GMSC Systems, and O3b Networks Global MEO GMSC System.
Chapter 3: Global Broadcasting Satellite System (GBSS) presents implementa-
tion of new DVB-RCS for maritime, land, and aeronautical CNS.

Chapter 4: Cospas-Sarsat GMSC System presents distress and safety satellite
systems, emergency satellite beacons for all mobile applications via LEOSAR,
MEOSAR, and GEOSAR subsystems.
Chapter 5: Global Mobile Satellite Distress System (GMSDS) is introducing
new concept of integrated commercial and safety satellite CNS for maritime, land,
and aeronautical applications.
Chapter6:GlobalSatelliteAugmentationSystems(GSAS)givesaretrospective
of determination and navigation satellite systems in integration with CNS and
introduces existing and new projected Regional Satellite Augmentation Systems
(RSAS),suchasEuropeanEGNOS,JapaneseMSAT(MTSAS/JMA),USWAAS,
Russian SDCM, Chinese SNAS, Indian GAGAN, and African ASAS. The new
projectedASASnetworkbyauthor ofthisbookisveryimportantfor entire Africa
and Middle East, better as proposed extension of EGNOS, for enhanced traffic
controlandmanagement of ships, land vehicles, andaircraft, including to improve
safety and security at sea, on the ground, and in the air.
Chapter 7: Stratospheric Communication Platforms (SCPs) are new wireless
systems still under development, which will use constellations of stratospheric
aircraft and airships equipped with transponders and large antenna systems to
provide more cost-effective CNS systems for ships, land vehicles, and aircraft.

Preface to the First Volume
Global Mobile Satellite Communications (GMSC) structures are specific mobile
satellite communication discipline and technique for maritime, land, and aeronau-
tical applications, which will enable connections between Mobile Earth Stations
(MES), such as ships, land vehicles, and aircraft on the one side and ground
telecommunications subscribers on the other, through the medium of Space
Segment (satellite constellation), Land Earth Stations (LES) and Terrestrial
Telecommunications Network (TTN) or other landline providers.
This book is very important for modern shipping, land (road and rail), and
aeronauticalconcerns,becauseGMSCareprovidingmoreeffectivebusiness,trade,
and prosperity in the new millennium, in the first place for transport safety and
security matters and secondly for commercial communications. The most consid-
erable marketing and technical point of this book is due to a great deficiency of
suitable manuals on the international book market, which completely describe
GMSC fundamentals, Space Segments, ground segments (MES and LES), and
Global Mobile Personal Satellite Communications (GMPSC).
ThisbookdiscusseshottopicsinGMSCtechniquesandtechnology,whichwill
beusefulfortechnicalstaffonboardvessels,landvehicles,andaircraft,onoffshore
constructions and for those possessing satellite handset phones. This includes sea,
land, and air transport sets with many other requirements for more effective trade,
which need development, design, utility, implementation, and knowledge of
Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) for safety and commercial
applications. Otherwise, GMSC solutions are very important to all modern trans-
portation companies, dispatchers, agencies, brokers and the successful manage-
ment, commerce, carriage tracking, and logistics of their fleet.
In general, this book may become the manual for a broad range of readers with
different levels of technical education and knowledge, for professional staff
involved in GMSC and their technical managers, engineers, professors, students,
instructors, and participants in GMDSS courses, consultants and supervisors of
MESandformilitaryofficersandcadets.Thisbookcouldfindanimportantplacein
libraries, universities, and institutions as well.

panies,GMSCmanufacturers,providers,operators,andfortheirmanagementstaff.
Everyone involved in GMSC systems has to know something about these tech-
nology and transmission systems. Thus, in writing this book, the author has used
the expertise, prospects, literature, and manuals of numerous experts, specialists,
institutions, and references mentioned at the end of this handbook as well as
information from Internet.
The author has been a professional expert in maritime radiocommunications
since1969,asaradioofficeronboardoceangoingcargoshipsusingMorseMF/HF

doctoral dissertation, master’s theses, technical manuscripts, papers, and practical
experience with radiocommunications, navigation, and GMSC systems.
For basic and principal technical information, he has drawn heavily mostly on
the following sources:

Readers will find that this book has been written using up-to-date systems,
techniques, and technology in satellite communications. The material has been
systematized in such a way as to cover satellite development, systematization, and
definition of all nomenclature and synonyms of mobile satellite communications
systems and services, new kinds of launcher systems and the presentation of all
types of satellite orbit constellations and spacecraft, the newest concepts of trans-
mission models and accesses including IP networking, a complete introduction to
mobile antenna systems and propagation, Inmarsat, Cospas-Sarsat, big LEO, little
LEO, navigation and tracking systems, including forthcoming augmentation
satellite system for Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) mobile
solutions, stratospheric platforms as communications systems, including mobile
DVB-RCS.
Furthermore,newconceptsandinnovationsinGMSC,suchasInmarsatBGAN,
Fleet and Swift Broadband solutions, Global Xpress for maritime and aeronautical
applications, new Iridium LEO mobile applications, innovative maritime
O3B MEO solutions and mobile DVB-RCS GEO users segment. Furthermore,
modern VSAT broadcasting applications and integration of GMSC systems with
new Personal Videophone Technology and Mobile Videophone over IP (VPoIP)
will be discussed. Finally, the historic moment is approaching when we can use
MES terminals and say: “Hallo, can you see me, over”?
