16、at sea. Systems based on this technical approach can coexist with the worldwide NAVTEX system that operates on 490 kHz, 518 kHz, and in some cases 424 kHz. The system will provide an improved means for an automated broadcast. It will coexist with existing services (NAVTEX, satellite, MF, HF, VHF). S

17、ince the early 1900s, the frequency 500 kHz had been the international maritime calling and distress frequency. It was used in telegraphy mode for distress and safety communications for ships at sea. This functionality has been replaced by the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). The

18、International Maritime Organizations (IMO) Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) required certain ships to be equipped with GMDSS equipment since 1999. Since the adoption of GMDSS, the band 495-505 kHz has no longer been globally used for maritime calling and distress and the designation

19、of this band for calling and distress was suppressed at WRC-07. In accordance with provision RR Edition of 2008 Nos. 5.79 and 5.82A, maritime mobile operations are presently limited to radiotelegraphy. Accordingly, use of the band has diminished. Rep. ITU-R M.2201 3 This frequency band 415 kHz to 52

20、6.5 kHz is ideally suited to broadcast from shore to ship. The surface wave propagation of a coast station using this band can provide a coverage area from the coast to 400 nautical miles (741 km) off shore. This is the same coverage area that the current NAVTEX system provides at 490 kHz, 518 kHz a

21、nd in some cases 424 kHz. 2 Identification of the usable band The band 415 kHz to 526.5 kHz is accessible for the maritime mobile service; however, some sharing conditions apply. The band 495 kHz to 505 kHz is an excellent candidate for introduction of new technology to the maritime mobile service.

22、It is ideally suited for this purpose due to: its ground-wave propagation characteristics; the current frequency bands of NAVTEX transmissions; the under-utilization of 495-505 kHz due to the cessation of the 500 kHz distress frequency requirement with the adoption of GMDSS. 3 Overview of the system

23、 This system may operate in one of two modes, a mode similar to the current NAVTEX system, which is a “sequential mode” based on timing, or possibly a “permanent mode” on another basis. The coast stations will be spaced along the coast approximately 500 nautical miles (926 km) apart. In the “sequent

24、ial mode”, all the transmitters on a coast will share the 10 kHz channel by transmitting in a specific time slot. Some time slots will remain free for unforeseen broadcasts. Table 1 is an example of time slot allocations for a network of 500 kHz broadcast transmitters for the Atlantic coast of Europ

25、e. It is based on 3-minute slots of a 60-minute cycle. The current NAVTEX system has a data rate of 100 bit/s with a 300 Hz channel. This system would have a data rate of up to 47 400 bit/s with a 10 kHz channel. TABLE 1 Example of allocations of 500 kHz broadcast transmitters for the West Atlantic

27、nsmitters The radiated power from the regional coast station transmitter should be what is sufficient to cover the intended service area of that coast station. The power would be decreased at night during periods of better RF propagation. A conservative estimate of the coverage area from shore is ap

28、proximately 320 nautical miles (593 km) with a radiated power of 1 kW and 400 nautical miles (741 km) with a radiated power of 5 kW. The modulation is OFDM with N-QAM. Section 13 illustrates an example of 64-QAM 47.4 kbit/s that is capable of reaching 400 nautical miles (741 km) with an appropriate

29、antenna effecctive height and a sufficient transmitter power. Where antenna effective height and/or transmitter power are limited, 16-QAM is preferrable. This type of modulation, OFDM with N-QAM, works very well in DRM system (sound broadcasting). The modulation scheme is similar to that described i

30、n Recommendation ITU-R M.1798-1, Annex 4, which uses both 16-QAM and 64-QAM. 16-QAM has the advantage of 6 dB more energy per bit, and therefore it is more robust and more commonly used in radio systems with power and antenna effective height limitations, but it has only half the data-rate of 64-QAM

31、. 5 Local transmitters Local transmitters can be used to fill in coverage gaps if needed, especially in significant harbour areas. Local transmitters would have simplified antenna systems and less radiated power then the regional coast stations. An example implementation of this was used for field t

32、ests described in 15. 6 Network The static allocation of the broadcasting slots allows the installation of a simplified broadcasting network (refer to Fig. 1). Each national authority would have a certain number of coastal stations connected to a standard Ethernet virtual private network (VPN) contr

33、olled by the national authority. It is not essential to establish a national server because each station will collect on the VPN network the messages meant for them and will broadcast them within the timing of the allocated slot. The exchange of files among various countries for broadcasting by tran

34、smitters outside their national boundary is feasible. It would be managed by an identified national coordination centre, as used currently for some automatic identification system (AIS) and GMDSS networks. Rep. ITU-R M.2201 5 FIGURE 1 National digital 500 kHz network 7 Type of messages It is appropr

35、iate that any emission of messages is controlled perfectly and from a secure originating source. Several possible origins: safety of navigation messages; meteorological messages; safety and security messages; search and rescue information and pirate attack warnings; pilotage service messages; harbou

36、r messages; file transfer, e.g.: harbour VTS display; cartographic update. 6 Rep. ITU-R M.2201 8 Type of information broadcasts Three types of broadcast messages are included: General broadcast These messages are broadcast for the attention of all ships. Selective broadcast These messages are broadc

37、ast for the attention of the ships located in a given area. Dedicated messages These messages are addressed to one or more specific ships. 9 Encryption It is completely possible to envisage the encryption of certain files transmitted in agreement with the administration concerned and with evolutiona

38、ry keys. 10 Description of a coastal transmitting station A coastal transmitting station would consist of (refer to Fig. 2): 1 local server connected to a protected VPN network; 1 modulator coder charged to transpose the files in modulation OFDM/N-QAM on frequency 500 kHz; 1 RF power amplifier with

39、its power supply and filtering; 1 antenna matching unit; 1 transmitting antenna with ground radials; 1 GPS antenna with clock output for the synchronization of slots and frequencies; 1 monitoring receiver in order to check that the frequency is free. Rep. ITU-R M.2201 7 FIGURE 2 Coastal transmitting

40、 station 11 Equipment for ship This equipment would be like a “black box” which can be connected on the existing on-board equipment or a dedicated display (computer) as shown in Fig. 3. The 500 kHz receiver would be connected to a 500 kHz magnetic receiving antenna of very small dimension and to an

41、existing GPS receiver for the selection of messages according to the position of the ship. Its consumption in energy would be about 10 W. 8 Rep. ITU-R M.2201 FIGURE 3 Synoptic 500 kHz reception ship station 12 Protection for broadcasting of NAVTEX on 490 kHz and 518 kHz NAVTEX transmitter emissions

42、are narrow-band at 490 kHz and 518 kHz using a modulating centre frequency of 1 700 Hz and a deviation of 85 Hz. The bandwidth of the receivers is about 300 Hz. The 500 kHz transmitter notional emission mask must be fitted to protect the NAVTEX transmissions as shown in Fig. 4. FIGURE 4 Notional emi

43、ssion mask Rep. ITU-R M.2201 9 12.1 Transmitter emissions mask For transmitters designed to operate on this 10 kHz channel, any emission must be attenuated below the peak envelope power (P) of the transmitter as follows (refer to Fig. 5): 1. On any frequency from the centre of the authorized bandwid

44、th f0 to 4.5 kHz removed from f0 : 0 dB. 2. On any frequency removed from the centre of the authorized bandwidth by a displacement frequency (fd in kHz) of more than 4.5 kHz but no more than 10 kHz: at least 5.82(fd 2.30 kHz) dB. 3. On any frequency removed from the centre of the authorized bandwidt

45、h by a displacement frequency (fd in kHz) of more than 10 kHz: at least 50 + 10 log (P) dB or 70 dB, whichever is the lesser attenuation. FIGURE 5 10 kHz channel emissions mask (N-QAM modulation) 13 Selection of 64-QAM modulation parameters For the prospective 495 kHz to 505 kHz digital broadcast ch

46、annel, a 64-QAM modulation at 47.4 kbit/s would meet these requirements and would fit the transmitter emissions mask in 12.1. 64-QAM modulation is customarily used in high-performance digital RF systems to provide a maximum data transmission rate in a limited channel bandwidth. The characteristics i

These characteristics were scaled in Table 3 to fit the 10 kHz channel mask. 10 Rep. ITU-R M.2201 TABLE 2 High data-rate ISDB (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting) standar
