  Abstract

In situations where ground communication infrastructure is disrupted or destroyed due to disasters or wars, it is essential to have communication technologies that can replace or supplement existing terrestrial networks. Satellite communication is considered the most suitable alternative in such scenarios. However, its deployment requires significant time and cost. Particularly, when using low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to reduce latency, a large number of satellites is needed to ensure broad coverage, which further increases technical complexity and operational expenses. Troposcatter communication is one alternative that may overcome these limitations. This method utilizes the scattering of radio waves caused by atmospheric irregularities in the troposphere, enabling beyond line-of-sight communication over distances of several hundred kilome- ters. This paper provides a brief overview of the propagation mechanisms of troposcatter communication and performs simulations based on the ITU-R P.2001 propagation model incorporating actual terrain data of South Korea. Furthermore, the impact of modern physical layer technologies on troposcatter performance is discussed, and the limitations of existing propagation models are identified.
