The objective of this activity is to demonstrate the feasibility of techniques and technologies that can significantly reduce the total cost of video content delivery via satellite to the end users while improving flexibility, service quality, and the user’s experience in a real time platform, representing realistic system scenarios. Targeted Improvements: The target gain is to demonstrate and quantify the performance gain of payload, system and ground component techniques that can together enable significant improvements (more than twofold) in the content delivery capacity ofdigital broadcasting satellites, in comparison to conventional state-of theart solutions. The goal is to demonstrate a combinationof such techniques working together in a real-time platform (preferably taking advantage of the existing space assets), to deliver a higher capacity under a set of system constraints (such as available power and/or bandwidth).
