Radio Resource Management Techniques for Multibeam Satellite Systems

Beam Hopping Techniques in Multibeam Satellite Systems

Radio Planning in Multibeam Geostationary Satellite Networks

We consider the problem of how a geostationary satellite should assign bandwidth to several service providers (operators) so as to meet some minimum requirements, on one hand, and to perform the allocation in a fair way, on the other hand. In the paper, we firstly address practical issues (such as integrity constraints), whereafter we provide a computational method for obtaining an optimal fair...

Dynamic Radio Resource Management for Hybrid Terrestrial-Satellite Backhauling

Advanced Radio Resource Management for Multi Antenna Packet Radio Systems

In this paper, we propose fairness-oriented packet scheduling (PS) schemes with power-efficient control mechanism for future packet radio systems. In general, the radio resource management functionality plays an important role in new OFDMA based networks. The control of the network resource division among the users is performed by packet scheduling functionality based on maximizing cell coverag...

Transmission and Resource Management Techniques for New Satellite Services

Satellite communications are experiencing a radical transformation due to technological trends, service demand and economical aspects. The choices operated at service and application levels have a significant impact on the technologies adopted at lower layers. The COST 272 action represents a privileged viewpoint on the European satellite research as far as services and technology are concerned...
