An Access Protocol for Mobile Satellite Users with reduced Link Margins and Contention Propability

چکیده
German Aerospace Agency (DLR), Fraunhofer FOKUS.cats, and Tesat-Spacecom have designed a future multimedia ATMbased LEO satellite network. Part of the development was an adaptive MAC and FEC scheme which are presented in this paper. The MAC protocol reduces contention while the FEC scheme guarantees a maximum ATM cell error rate of 10−6 even in the presence of rain. FEC and MAC were implemented in a prototype which was finally used to conduct measurements evolving some fundamental results for the design of future, satellite based, multimedia communication systems. These learned lessons concern the impact of shadowing, rain attenuation, and TCP’s maturety when being used over variable propagation delay links.

متن کاملImproving Quality of Service Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using OLSR
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...
متن کاملCongestion management in access networks with long propagation delay
Satellite networks are going to play an important role in the global information infrastructure. Satellites can be used to provide Internet services to fixed users and to mobile users. However, recent measurements show that the satellite link efficiency is only about 30%. In order to improve the performance of Internet over satellite, a new protocol called Receiver Window Backpressure Protocol ...
متن کاملMaxMin Share Based Medium Access for Attaining Fairness and Channel Utilization in Mobile Adhoc Networks
Due to the complex network architecture, the mobile adhoc network’s multihop feature gives additional problems to the users. When the traffic load at each node gets increased, the additional contention due its traffic pattern might cause the nodes which are close to destination to starve the nodes more away from the destination and also the capacity of network is unable to satisfy the total use...
متن کاملA Novel Channel-Adaptive Uplink Access Control Protocol for Nomadic Computing
We consider the uplink access control problem in a mobile nomadic computing system, which is based on a cellular phone network in that a user can use the mobile device to transmit voice or file data. This resource management problem is important because an efficient solution to uplink access control is critical for supporting a large user population with a reasonable level of quality of service...
