Abstract(in English) Regenerative transponders and baseband switches have been proposed as a means of improving communication efficiency in geostationary communication satellite systems. However, few commercial satellite systems have regenerative transponders and baseband switches installed in them, because doing so limits their flexibility. Since it is generally impossible to exchange, repair, or upgrade onboard equipment in orbit, it is fair to say that no communications satellites can follow terrestrial communication paradigm shifts. This paper discusses the cost efficiency of reconfigurable communication satellite systems. The reconfigurable communication satellite system discussed here is composed of a group of satellites and the implemented functions of each satellite are defined by an OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) reference model. Swapping or adding small satellite elements enables the whole system to keep track of the paradigm shifts of terrestrial network technology.
