NOTE:<br />

Not all of the above functions are required of every service,<br />

data group, or mode. The detailed acquisition sequences to<br />

be presented discuss how and when these operations are<br />

accomplished in establishing the appropriate forward and/or<br />

return service.<br />

C.1.4<br />

Paragraph C.2 highlights the various parameters that impact the acquisition event<br />

sequence and/or the time to acquire (Tacq ). Using a detailed timeline, paragraph C.3<br />

describes the event sequence associated with acquisition. Paragraph C.4 concludes by<br />

addressing various issues related to reacquisition.<br />

C.2 Key Parameters which Impact Acquisition Sequences and Times<br />

C.2.1 Customer MOC Controllable Parameters<br />

C.2.1.1 General<br />

Table C-1 summarizes the parameters which impact acquisition and which the customer<br />

MOC can either schedule prior to (refer to Section 10, paragraph 10.2) or initiate during<br />

(please see Section 10, paragraph 10.3) the scheduled service support period. The<br />

parameters are described in more detail in Sections 5 (MA), 6 (SSA), 7 (KuSA), and 8<br />

(KaSA). Paragraphs C.2.1.2 through C.2.1.5 expand on certain aspects of these<br />

parameters.<br />

C.2.1.2 Doppler Compensation<br />

To aid in customer platform acquisition of both the forward service command and range<br />

channel PN codes and the forward service carrier, Doppler compensation should be<br />

scheduled or accommodated on the customer platform. If Doppler compensation is not<br />

scheduled, the WSC will transmit the carrier frequency and the derived PN code chip<br />

rate as specified in the SHO. If no accommodations are made on the customer<br />

platform, this fixed frequency forward service transmission may not allow acquisition<br />

and, therefore, it is recommended that the customer MOC schedule or accommodate<br />

Doppler compensation at all times so that the forward service PN code clocks and the<br />

carrier are continuously compensated to account for changing customer platform<br />

dynamics. The MOC may choose to disable Doppler compensation during ground<br />

tracking services; however, valid tracking service data is available with or without<br />

Doppler compensation enabled.<br />

C.2.1.3 Start of Forward Service Data<br />

It is recommended that the customer MOC not initiate forward service data transmission<br />

to the NI<strong>SN</strong> data transport system until sufficient time has elapsed after the scheduled<br />

service support period start time for the customer platform to have acquired the forward<br />
