Apparatus and method of network synchronization in asymmetric two-way satellite communication system

摘要

An apparatus and method of network synchronization for synchronous burst transmission in an asymmetric two-way satellite communication system. Network synchronization information is broadcast to all remote stations using an adaptation field structure that is defined at the MPEG-2 system standard. In addition, all remote stations maintain synchronization between the central station and remote stations using network synchronization information that is located at a program clock reference part and an original program clock reference part of the adaptation field structure.
