How to calculate PDR when transferring from a ground station to another ground station using the satellites?

I want to study data packet tranfer from one Ground station to another using Satellite constellation.

I've already seen and implemented the example shown in

https://in.mathworks.com/help/satcom/ug/multihop-satellite-communication.html

However, it gives only the link feasibility, i.e., link margin.

Are there ways to use the feasible links, to stream packets and we can study the packet rate and packet delivery ratio (PDR) over a long window.

P.S. I'm on academic license so if I required another toolbox or version please suggest.

Hi Ravi,

As far as I understant, for studying the packet rate you need not install any toolbox other than Satelite Communication Toolbox.

To study about the packet rate, here is an example from the Satelite Communication Toolbox: https://in.mathworks.com/help/satcom/ug/end-to-end-dvb-rcs2-simulation-with-rf-impairments-and-corrections-for-tc-lm-bursts.html

You can look for more examples of the toolbox here: https://in.mathworks.com/help/satcom/end-to-end-simulation.html

I hope this helps!
