Space engineering - Space data links - Telecommand protocols, synchronization and channel coding

This Standard specifies the data structures and protocols for a telecommand space data link and the procedure for physical layer operation.
Usually, the source of data on a telecommand space data link is located on the ground and the receiver is located in space. However, the Standard may also be used for space-to-space telecommand data links.
Further provisions and guidance on the application of this standard can be found, respectively, in the following documents:
-   The higher level standard ECSS-E-ST-50 'Communications', which defines the principle characteristics of communication protocols and related services for all communication layers relevant for space communication (physical- to application-layer), and their basic relationship to each other.
-   The handbook ECSS-E-HB-50 'Communications guidelines', which provides information about specific implementation characteristics of these protocols in order to support the choice of a certain communications profile for the specific requirements of a space mission.
Users of this present standard are invited to consult these documents before taking decisions on the implementation of the present one.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constraints of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.

Vesoljska tehnika - Vesoljske podatkovne povezave - Protokoli za daljinsko vodenje, sinhronizacijo in kodiranje kanalov

Ta standard določa podatkovne strukture in protokole za daljinsko vodeno vesoljsko podatkovno povezavo ter postopek za delovanje fizičnega sloja.
Običajno se vir podatkov na daljinsko vodeni vesoljski podatkovni povezavi nahaja na tleh, sprejemnik pa se nahaja v vesolju. Vendar se lahko standard uporablja tudi za daljinsko vodene podatkovne povezave znotraj vesolja.
Dodatne določbe in smernice o uporabi tega standarda je mogoče najti v naslednjih dokumentih:
– v standardu višje ravni ECSS-E-ST-50 (Komunikacije), ki določa glavne značilnosti komunikacijskih protokolov in z njimi povezanih storitev za vse ravni komunikacije, pomembne za vesoljsko komunikacijo (od fizične do aplikacijske ravni), in njihove osnovne medsebojne povezave,
– v priročniku ECSS-E-HB-50 (Komunikacijske smernice), ki zagotavlja informacije o posebnih značilnostih vpeljave teh protokolov za podporo pri izbiri določenega komunikacijskega profila za posebne zahteve vesoljske misije.
Uporabniki obstoječega standarda so vabljeni k ogledu teh dokumentov, preden sprejmejo odločitve o izvajanju trenutnega standarda.
Ta standard se lahko prilagodi posameznim lastnostim in omejitvam vesoljskega projekta v skladu s standardom ECSS-S-ST-00.

The transition between two consecutive mission phases can cause an interruption of the telecommand data link services. 3.2.2 octet group of eight bits NOTE 1 The numbering for octets within a data structure starts with 0. NOTE 2 Refer to 3.4 for the convention for the numbering of bits. 3.2.3 packet variable-length data structure consisting of higher layer user data encapsulated within standard header information 3.2.4 static unchanged within a specific virtual channel NOTE 1 This Standard contains requirements on the invariability, throughout one or all mission phases, of certain characteristics of the data structures specified in it. NOTE 2 For virtual channel refer to 4.7. 3.2.5 physical layer operation procedure procedure in the physical layer to activate and deactivate the physical communications channel by invoking RF carrier and modulation techniques SIST EN 16603-50-04:2015

AC, CB and BD frames are defined in Table 6-3. SIST EN 16603-50-04:2015

Figure 3-1: numbering convention 3.4.2 Most significant bit When an N-bit field is used to express a binary value (such as a counter), the most significant bit is the first bit of the field, i.e. bit 0 (see Figure 3-1). 3.4.3 Use of capitals for the names of data structures and fields In this Standard initial capitals are used for the names of data structures and fields. This enables field names to be easily identified in the surrounding text.
For example, the field Frame Length is easier to see than frame length in text containing words such as frame and length. It also prevents ambiguity over where the name begins and ends.
In general, the procedures, protocols and functions defined in this Standard are not concerned with the format, contents or applications of the higher layer data units. The only exception is the blocking function of the segmentation sublayer: the higher layer data units which use this function are restricted to certain packet types. 4.2 Protocol profiles Figure 4-1 illustrates the following: • The relationship of the layers and sublayers specified in this Standard. • The data structures passed between the peer entities. The data structures are introduced in the overview clauses 4.3 to 4.5. The protocol profile for a project can differ from the profile represented by Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1: Layers and sublayers specified in this Standard 4.3 Segmentation sublayer The TC segment contains fields to support two of the functions of the segmentation sublayer:
• the segmentation function, and
• a multiplexing function.
The segmentation function breaks long data units into smaller portions so that they are consistent with the limited length of the frames in the transfer sublayer. At the receiving end, the segmentation function reassembles the portions into the original data units. The segmentation sublayer also includes a blocking function for packets so that multiple packets can be carried in a frame. Clause 5 provides the specification of the segmentation sublayer and of the TC segment. SIST EN 16603-50-04:2015

The procedures are defined in Clause 6, which also includes the definition of the TC Transfer Frame. The transfer sublayer includes the communications operation procedure (COP-1), which operates the transmission protocol of the transfer sublayer. The detailed specification of COP-1 is given in Clause 7. COP-1 supports two service types:
• the sequence-controlled service, and
• the expedited service. COP-1 uses protocol status information which is passed from the transfer sublayer at the receiving end to the transfer sublayer at the sending end. The information is contained in a communications link control w
