In conventional geostationary mobile satellite communication systems, users may experience bad quality of service due to a large propagation delay, which is caused by the double-hop connection link. In a double-hop link, a signal is passed through the satellite twice and the base station once before reaching its destination. To reduce the propagation delay, it is necessary to have single-hop connection link that connects user terminals directly by passing through the satellite only once. The single-hop connection method proposed in this paper uses a through repeater satellite to which future services can be accommodated. The method uses a newly developed common control channel to send the signaling messages to users during the single-hop connection. We evaluate its performance and show its feasibility.
