Optimizing Connectivity: DVB-RCS2 Uplink to GEO Satellites via Optical Wireless Communication.

This research focuses on the integration of an opto-satellite system based on Free Space Optical Communication (OWC) within DVB-RCS2 chains, implementing 16-QAM modulation techniques and Optical Time Division Wavelength Multiplexing (OTDMWDM). A co-simulation framework combining the MATLAB and OptiSystem environments is adopted to evaluate the system's performance. Key performance indicators, such as Bit Error Rate (BER) and Q factor, are meticulously analyzed to quantify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results obtained demonstrate notable improvements in transmission reliability and signal quality, highlighting the potential of OWC to optimize DVB-RCS2 standards. This study significantly contributes to the development of innovative solutions in the field of satellite communications, paving the way for more efficient and resilient systems.
