Title: Error control coding for meteor burst communications
Authors: Frederick, Thomas J.
Committee Members: Belkerdid, Madjid A.
Summary: The phenomenon of meteor burst communications is described and its mathematical model is presented. Protocols for meteors burst systems are outlined and examples are given of current use. Recent research in the area of coding performance in meteor burst systems is pointed out. The performance of several error control coding schemes for a meteor burst channel, including two new adaptive algorithms, are evaluated via analysis and simulation. These coding strategies are compared using the probability of successful transmission of a fixed size packet through a single burst as a performance measure. The coding methods are compared via simulation for several realizations of meteor burst. It is found that based on complexity and probability of success, fixed rate convolutional codes with soft decision Viterbi decoding provide better performance.
