Management and system coordination in the Intelsat TDMA system
Abstract
In 1984, Intelsat will introduce 120 Mbit/s Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) into its communications network. The system will initially operate with Intelsat V satellites and later with Intelsat VI satellites. TDMA terminals supply the interface between the satellite and terrestrial traffic. It is pointed out that Intelsat's satellite networks provide more than 60 percent of the world's international telecommunications. An extensive and efficient management and coordination scheme is, therefore, needed to maintain the required standard of performance. A general description of the TDMA system is presented, and examples of overall system coordination are discussed.
