Multi-sector discrete-time channel model for data link layer evaluation of CubeSat communications

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose a communication channel model for CubeSats in the low earth orbit.

• CCSDS recommendations are used as a study case for the data link layer of a CubeSat.

• An adaptive automatic repeat request mechanism is simulated using the proposed model.
