Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO
documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.
ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified
during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations
received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an
endorsement.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17810:2014(E)

Space data and information transfer systems — Data
transmission and pseudo-random noise (PN) ranging for 2 GHz
code division multiple access (CDMA) link via data relay
satellite
1 Scope
This International Standard defines CDMA spread spectrum modulation schemes in terms of:
a) the services provided to the users of this specification;
b) spreading code formats; and
c) the procedures performed to generate and process the code formats.
It does not specify:
a) individual implementations or products;
b) the methods or technologies required to perform the procedures; or
c) the management activities required to configure and control the system.
This International Standard provides only those parameter requirements relating to signal compatibility with
the existing SNIP PN spread modulation systems (see C.1). There are many other types of requirements, not
specifically related to PN spread modulation signal formats, which must be met to ensure system compatibility
with existing SNIP hardware. Examples would include forward error correction coding format, data signal
formats, etc.
This International Standard applies to the creation of agency standards and to the future data communications
over space links between CCSDS agencies in cross-support situations. This International Standard includes
comprehensive specification of the data formats and procedures for inter-agency cross support. It is neither a
specification of, nor a design for, real systems that may be implemented for existing or future missions.
This International Standard is to be invoked through the normal standards programs of each CCSDS agency,
and is applicable to those missions for which cross support based on capabilities described in this International
Standard is anticipated. Where mandatory capabilities are clearly indicated in sections of this International
Standard, they must be implemented when this document is used as a basis for cross support. Where options
are allowed or implied, implementation of these options is subject to specific bilateral cross-support agreements
between the agencies involved.
2 Requirements
Requirements are the technical recommendations made in the following publication (reproduced on the
following pages), which is adopted as an International Standard:
CCSDS 415.1-B-1, September 2011, Data transmission and PN ranging for 2 GHz CDMA link via data relay
satellite
For the purposes of international standardization, the modifications outlined below shall apply to the specific
clauses and paragraphs of publication CCSDS 415.1-B-1.
Pages i to vi
This part is information which is relevant to the CCSDS publication only.

CCSDS RECOMMENDED STANDARD FOR DATA TRANSMISSION AND
PN RANGING FOR 2 GHz CDMA LINK VIA DATA RELAY SATELLITE
STATEMENT OF INTENT
The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) is an organization officially
established by the management of its members. The Committee meets periodically to address
data systems problems that are common to all participants, and to formulate sound technical
solutions to these problems. Inasmuch as participation in the CCSDS is completely
voluntary, the results of Committee actions are termed Recommended Standards and are
not considered binding on any Agency.
This Recommended Standard is issued by, and represents the consensus of, the CCSDS
members. Endorsement of this Recommendation is entirely voluntary. Endorsement,
however, indicates the following understandings:
o Whenever a member establishes a CCSDS-related standard, this standard will be in
accord with the relevant Recommended Standard. Establishing such a standard
does not preclude other provisions which a member may develop.
o Whenever a member establishes a CCSDS-related standard, that member will
provide other CCSDS members with the following information:
-- The standard itself.
-- The anticipated date of initial operational capability.
-- The anticipated duration of operational service.
o Specific service arrangements shall be made via memoranda of agreement. Neither
this Recommended Standard nor any ensuing standard is a substitute for a
memorandum of agreement.
No later than five years from its date of issuance, this Recommended Standard will be
reviewed by the CCSDS to determine whether it should: (1) remain in effect without change;
(2) be changed to reflect the impact of new technologies, new requirements, or new
directions; or (3) be retired or canceled.
In those instances when a new version of a Recommended Standard is issued, existing
CCSDS-related member standards and implementations are not negated or deemed to be
non-CCSDS compatible. It is the responsibility of each member to determine when such
standards or implementations are to be modified. Each member is, however, strongly
encouraged to direct planning for its new standards and implementations towards the later
version of the Recommended Standard.

CCSDS RECOMMENDED STANDARD FOR DATA TRANSMISSION AND
PN RANGING FOR 2 GHz CDMA LINK VIA DATA RELAY SATELLITE
FOREWORD
This document is a technical Recommended Standard for use in developing spread spectrum
modulation systems and has been prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data
Systems (CCSDS). The spread spectrum modulation concept described herein is intended
for missions that are cross-supported between Agencies of the CCSDS.
The spread spectrum modulation systems currently used by the Space Network
Interoperability Panel (SNIP) agencies involve Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) in
the form of pseudo-random noise (PN) Gold codes and Maximal Length codes. The PN code
libraries used by NASA Users are also shared by Users of the European Space Agency
(ESA) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Included in this Recommended
Standard are proposed techniques for expanding the code libraries for additional CCSDS
Users. The expanded code library fits into the existing SNIP architecture.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
subject of patent rights. CCSDS shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
Through the process of normal evolution, it is expected that expansion, deletion, or
modification of this document may occur. This Recommended Standard is therefore subject
to CCSDS document management and change control procedures, which are defined in the
Procedures Manual for the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems. Current
versions of CCSDS documents are maintained at the CCSDS Web site:

Questions relating to the contents or status of this document should be addressed to the
CCSDS Secretariat at the address indicated on page i.
