Multiservice Traffic Allocation in Leo Satellite Communications

چکیده
Satellite communication promises potential methods for providing global communication. In particular, by the development of a Low Earth Orbital (LEO) satellite constellation, both global coverage and broadband communication will be accessible. Problems arise in situations where various tra¢ c types in broadband communication require di¤erent levels of quality of service (QoS). Tra¢ c control is required to make sure that each tra¢ c demand may receive the expected QoS. Another problem is that the dynamic topology of a LEO satellite network requires a tra¢ c allocation control, which is able to allocate tra¢ c demand into the Inter Satellite Links (ISLs) between LEO satellites. In this thesis, tra¢ c allocation strategy in a dynamic LEO satellite communication network is studied and analyzed. The delivery of Quality of Service (QoS) is an important objective. Tra¢ c allocation control is performed in the LEO satellite constellation to provide a near optimal utilization of these ISLs. An alternative solution is proposed in this research, in which a combination of two algorithms will be used to allocate tra¢ c in this dynamic satellite network. The rst algorithm allocates tra¢ c during small time intervals, based on an assumption that the topology is unchanged during these intervals. The second algorithm allocates tra¢ c after topology updating has been accomplished. Tra¢ c allocation respects some constraints including QoS (due to multiservice requirements), capacity constraints, tra¢ c distribution, and availability constraints. Both theoretical and empirical studies have been undertaken to examine the performance of the proposed algorithm, denoted GALPEDA (Genetic Algorithm Linear Programming and Extended Dijkstra Algorithm). The proposed algorithm provides privileges to a class of high priority tra¢ c, including bene ts for tra¢ c allocation of multiclass tra¢ c in LEO satellite communication. It provides a novel tra¢ c allocation mechanism to cope with the dynamic topology of a LEO satellite; moreover this algorithm distributes multiservice tra¢ c evenly over the network. Simulations results are provided. Thesis Supervisor: Stephen Sugden Title: Dr, Associate Professor

Call Admissibility for Multiservice Traffics in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Networks*
In a LEO system, a user’s call may be handed over constantly from one satellite to another due to visibility changes caused by satellites’ movements. The resultant system performance will degrade if handover calls occur frequently but few are transferred successfully. This paper considered a multiservice LEO system that allows different bandwidth/channel allocations (so-called multirate) on-dem...
متن کاملStatic and dynamic resource allocation in a multiservice satellite network with fading
Abstract: A control architecture for resource allocation in satellite networks is proposed, along with the specification of performance indexes and control strategies. The latter, besides being based on information on traffic statistics and network status, rely upon some knowledge of the fading conditions over the satellite network channels. The resource allocation problem consists of the assig...

In this paper we present and evaluate a hybrid-modular multiple access protocol for ATM transmission in a multiservice satellite system. Given appropriate synchronization and Doppler (shift) compensation, the protocol components can cope with the dynamics of the satellite constellation and are suitable to both mobile and fixed user environments. The general protocol framework is first given wit...

In this paper the design of a multiservice MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol, as a candidate for the uplink communication channel for LEO constellations is proposed. The proposed scheme is just the combination of conventional PRMA protocol and CDMA techniques, which seems to be a very promising access method for the case of mixed voice/data traffic. A transmit permission technique based on D...
