What is Mobile Satellite Service?
Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) is a satellite system which uses portable terrestrial terminals. MSS terminals may be mounted on a ship, an airplane, or an automobile. MSS terminals may even be carried by an individual.
The most promising application of Mobile Satellite Service is portable satellite telephones which will enable phone service anywhere on the globe.
The opposite of Mobile Satellite Service is Fixed Satellite Service (FSS).
Books on Mobile Satellite Service
 Satellite Communications : Mobile and Fixed Services | Satellite Communications: Mobile and Fixed Services is based on the premise that designers of future satellite systems must take account of the strong competition that satellites face from optical fibers. In future years, satellites will continue to be commercially viable media for telecommunications only if systems designers take account of the unique features that satellites have to offer. Accordingly, Satellite Communications places more emphasis on satellite mobile services and broadcasting, and less emphasis on fixed, point-to-point, high-capacity services than traditional textbooks in the field. Also, an emphasis is given in the book to design issues. Numerous illustative system design examples and numerical problems are provided. The particular attention given to methods of design of satellite mobile communications systems should make it an indispensable resource for workers in this field. The book also contains some recent results of propagation modelling and system design studies which should be of particular value to researchers and designers of satellite systems for mobile communications services. |
