Blind and Beacon-Less TDMA Scheduling for Ad-Hoc LEO Satellite Communications

Due: May 1, 2025

$100,000

Description

Future satellite missions require RF subsystem architectures with low size, weight, and power (SWAP) supporting high data rates at the order of Gbps for RPAs in LEO satellites. This opportunity involves innovative R&D for TDMA scheduling without satellite radio beacons, comprehensive analysis on satellite fingerprints, TDMA scheduling for efficient dissemination, and TDMA techniques with/without a-priori satellite location knowledge; aiming minimal SWAP impact.

Award Ceiling$100,000

Grantor Contact InformationKhanh Dai Pham, Phone: 505.846.4823Grantor Emailkhanh.pham.1@spaceforce.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
