Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES); Broadband Satellite Multimedia (BSM); Guide to Satellite Independent Service Access Point (SI-SAP) use (V1.1.1)
The present document provides a guide to ETSI BSM architecture and SI-SAP interface for satellite system designers and implementers@ in terms of pointers to the relevant ETSI BSM literature. Firstly@ the document addresses the functions that are offered by the ETSI BSM architecture@ providing the description of the main features and pointing to the specific TSs and TRs that detail these functions. In more detail@ the following functions are illustrated: ? Data transfer. ? QoS management. ? Address resolution. ? Multicast management. ? Security. ? Network integration. ? Performance management Secondly@ the document addresses the services that are offered by the SI-SAP interface and are run between the satellite independent (SI) and satellite dependent (SD) layers. Similarly to the description of the aforementioned ETSI BSM architecture functions@ illustration of the main features is provided along with the pointers to the relevant ETSI BSM documents where the SI-SAP services are defined@ specified@ and analysed. The considered SI-SAP interface services are: ? Logon/logoff. ? Satellite independent layer configuration. ? Address resolution. ? Resource reservation. ? Multicast group receive and transmit. ? Data transfer. The aim of the present document is to provide a standalone guide to the ETSI BSM standardization track@ which is based on several technical specifications and reports.
