Traffic routing in a switched regenerative satellite. Volume 2, task 4: Review (executive summary)
Abstract
A communications satellite design for 1990's European use is proposed. Time plan assignment is discussed. The satellite system should be interfaced with the terrestrial telephone network at several nodes per nation (rather than at one node per nation as for ECS). A 64 Kbit/sec ISDN service and a specialized 2.048 Mbit/sec service on reservation basis are suggested. Wide use of the 12/14 and 20/30 GHz bands is advocated. A procedure to achieve a switching plan with high efficiency, taking into account all system constraints such as no bursts breaking and two transmission rates harmonization is proposed. Algorithms to be implemented are: the Hungarian method; branch and bound; the INSERT heuristic; and the HOLE heuristic.
