Cost Efficiency

Retransmission Retransmission is the sending of data again after a loss or failed delivery attempt. It is a reliability mechanism used when initial transmission is not successful. Protocol Return Link Return Link is the communication path carrying traffic from the user or remote side back toward the network or ground side. Protocol RIP RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol that shares routing information with neighboring routers. It uses hop count as its main metric and is common in legacy networks. Protocol SD-WAN SD-WAN is a network architecture that applies centralized policy to traffic flows across multiple wide area transport links. It typically uses branch edge devices, overlay tunnels, telemetry, and orchestration software… Service Model Shared Access Terminal Shared Access Terminal is a terminal that provides network access to multiple users, devices, or services through a common access point. Hardware Shortest Path First Shortest Path First is a routing approach that selects the shortest or lowest-cost route through a network graph by computing the minimum-cost path from available topology and metric information. Protocol Soft Real-Time Constraint Soft Real-Time Constraint is a timing requirement that should usually be met, but occasional misses reduce quality rather than causing immediate failure. Operations Space Segment Space Segment is the portion of a satellite system located in space, including spacecraft, payloads, and orbiting assets that provide the service. Hardware Spectral Efficiency Spectral Efficiency is the amount of useful information transmitted per unit of spectrum, usually expressed as bits per second per hertz. It measures how effectively spectrum is converted into usable… Concept/Framework System Noise Temperature System Noise Temperature is a measure of the total noise contribution of a receiver system expressed as an equivalent temperature.
