COMMERCIAL SATELLITES
• The FSS may be able to fulfill the UAS spectrum requirements without the need for a new AMS(R)S allocation
• Existing commercial FSS systems at Ku and Ka-band offer immediate access to spectrum for UAS
• ITU-R studies have shown that the commercial Ku/Ka bands can support UAS control links and meet the desired UAS link availability.

UAS OPERATING UNDER FSS
• Requires modification of ITU Radio Regulations to permit UAS to communicate with a FSS satellite
• Requires a WRC Resolution that contains the UAS technical and regulatory requirements
• The performance, responsibilities and liabilities of the FSS and UAS operators would be specified in a commercial contract
• UAS would not be operating under the AMS(R)S service allocation, but rather as an FSS application

SATELLITE CHARACTERISTICS
• Long lifetime (≥ 15 years)• Low satellite and transponder failure rates• High EIRP and G/T levels over large geographic areas• Well suited for links that utilize small transmit/receive
antennas• High radio link availability• Connectivity over large geographic areas, which
terrestrial links cannot provide• Multiple transponders are available on each satellite, e.g.
24 Ku-band 36 MHz transponders• Bandwidths typically range from 24 to 120 MHz – the
most common bandwidth being 36 MHz

COMMERCIAL SATELLITE CAPACITY
• TRANSPONDER LEASING– Customer can lease all or portion of a transponder– Transponder can be leased on a non-premptible basis
• Carrier cannot be moved to restore another carrier
• BACK-UP CAPACITY– Due to large number of satellites and transponders,
back-up (bandwidth) capacity can be provided.• Back-up capacity available on the same satellite• Back-up capacity available on another satellite

LINK DEGRADATION
• A satellite link can be degraded by two primary sources– Atmospheric effects– Adjacent satellite interference
• Typical commercial satellite link availabilities range from 99.50% to 99.96%

ADJACENT SATELLITE INTERFERNCE
• A satellite link is subject to interference from the transmissions of other co-frequency satellite networks
• Interference can occur in the Earth-to-space direction or in the space-to-Earth direction.
• Adjacent satellite interference are managed through ITU coordination.

COORDINATION
• Satellite operators coordinate the maximum power and EIRP density level of their transmissions, the off-axis gain characteristics of their antennas and the placement of any high power density carriers, e.g. TV/FM– A known and stable interference environment– Links are designed to withstand the expected interference
• Internationally, coordination agreements are contained in a formal document that is approved by the involved satellite operators and their respective administrations
• Domestically, a formal agreement may or may not be required – depends on the regulations of each administration

ATMOSPHERIC DEGRADATION
• Rain is the primary atmospheric source of link degradation at Ku and Ka-band frequencies
• The effects of rain can be overcome in various ways– Increasing carrier power level– Changing the carrier modulation & FEC scheme– Increasing the transmitting and/or receiving antenna
size
• Typical commercial Ku-band link availabilities range from 99.50% to 99.96%

• At some point in time, links will degrade or drop-out for various reasons
• UAS systems need to incorporate hardware redundancy
• UAS systems need to incorporate spectrum redundancy– Capacity– Frequency
