Integration of satellite links into an ATM mode broadband ISDN
Abstract
The role that can be played by satellites in European Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) development is analyzed. In particular, the future use of satellites is shown to be indispensable during the transition phase since they will allow the targeted network a sufficient connectivity level in a relatively short delay. Satellites are also particularly adaptable to such services as broadcasting or mobile communications. Nevertheless, to integrate satellites into the broadband network, high output digital links and adaptation to multiple access ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) are necessary. Existing satellites are shown to be well adapted to the output problem and solutions for the next generation of satellites to allow them to offer higher output at lower cost are proposed. A new multiple access technique called anticipated reservation access which reduces transmission delay and the impact of the satellite in the ground network is proposed. A connection acceptance algorithm which guarantees performance threshold is also proposed.
