Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This paper presents a novel strategy to download higher data volumes from space stations. To demonstrate this approach, the communication link between the international space station (ISS) and the U.S. tracking and data relay satellite (TDRS) system is considered. The proposed solution relies on multiple-antenna technology, so-called multiple-input multiple-output, that can provide added capacity gain if the antenna elements match a precise geometry. The analysis shows that two colocated TDRSs can lead to a capacity increase by a factor of 1.8 per polarization per satellite. We compare this approach to other enhancement strategies. This study shows that the proposed solution presents the best trade-off in terms of capacity increase, link availability, redundancy and system changes. Thus, this paper provides a novel perspective on potential future space data relay, which leads to high benefits in the near term to customers like the ISS and the high data volume required from the on-board scientific experiments.
