Binary VS non-binary codes • Short non-binary LDPC codes outperform their binary counterparts by 1 dB or more • This appears to be independent of the maximum number of iterations allowed for decoding a received frame • The convergence speed (in terms of used iterations) of binary and non-binary codes is comparable • The parity-check matrices of the non-binary codes which have been used as a reference are the same used in: L. Costantini, B. Matuz, G. Liva, E. Paolini, M. Chiani, «Non-binary protograph low-density parity-check codes for space communications,» Int. J. of Satellite Communications and Networking, Vol. 30, No. 2, pp. 43–51, 2012
Comments on TC Randomization • Ithasalreadybeenobserved [Alvarez2006] that, whenusedat high data-rates, the CCSDS standard TM randomizer incurs spurious problems • The problem is mainly due to Only Idle Data (OID) Frames, which are typically filled by zero bits before randomization • Depending on the mission requirements, some solutions have been studied to ensure suitable randomization of high rate data [Garello2009] [Alvarez2006] O. Alvarez and G.

Comments on TC Randomization (2) • At the Earth's surface, the power flux density (PFD) produced by spacecraft emissions must not exceed prefixed values, fixed by ITU and ECSS • These limits are those of interest for high data rate TM links • Concerning NGU links, transmission occurs from Earth to a spacecraft, or between two spacecrafts • What are the requirements to be considered for spurious frequencies (PFD masks, synchronization issues…)? • Idle frames in asynchronous uplink services?
