Abstract
SummaryThe Brazilian Environmental Data Collection System (SBCDA) is an asynchronous multiuser message forwarding system based on low earth orbit (LEO) satellites with applications restricted to environmental monitoring and human life protection. This work presents a multiuser SBCDA decoder with low data memory and computational load. The decoder uses spectrum analysis to detect signal presences and upon every signal detection starts a signal decoding process with single‐user bit detection. Simulations considering an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) scenario with signal's time‐frequency positions uniformly and independently distributed and signal's powers uniformly distributed in dB within a dynamic range of 24 dB are present for different densities of user signals. Those show a frame error rate (FER) of approximately 25% for an average of six coexisting signals at every time instant, in which a missed signal was considered as a frame error. Finally, there are considerations on how to improve the performance maintaining a single‐input and single‐user bit detection strategy.
