A random access multibeam packet satellite with buffer and arbitrary transition overhead
Abstract
The performance of a multibeam packet satellite using ALOHA type random access techniques is reported. The satellite is assumed to provide an infinite buffer for successful packets on the uplinks of various beam zones. The transition overhead of a downlink transponder can be arbitrary. A TDMA frame is organized according to the traffic demand of each zone. This work is an extension of a 1983 study.
