Performance Evaluation of a Multi-level Allocation Algorithm for Vbr Traffic over a Geostationary Satellite

چکیده
In this paper we present VnL-TDMA, a new MAC (medium access control) protocol for accessing in TDMA a satellite channel shared among various earth stations which transmit mixed traffic (real-time and non-real time). We concentrate on the analysis of the real-time allocation for variable bit rate (VBR) traffic, and analyse its performance using a synthetically generated VBR traffic modelled on the basis of the statistical parameters of an MPEG-2 coded movie in VBR mode. The peak traffic rate of the movie is almost four times higher than its mean rate, which means that trivial peak rate allocation would waste a lot of the satellite channel bandwidth, while VnL makes unused bandwidth instantaneously available to all earth stations to enable them to transmit best-effort traffic.

A multi-level satellite channel allocation algorithm for real-time VBR data
Integrated services over a shared satellite channel need a MAC protocol that is able to deal with real-time traffic without substantially affecting the efficiency of the shared medium. Because of its bursty nature, MPEG coded VBR video transmission is one of the most challenging real-time applications. In this paper we analyze the statistical performance of a simple allocation method for VBR tr...
متن کاملA bandwidth assignment algorithm on a satellite channel for VBR traffic
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) video is currently by far the most interesting and challenging real-time application. A VBR encoder attempts to keep the quality of video output constant, and at the same time reduces bandwidth requirements since only a minimum amount of information has to be transferred. On the other hand, as VBR video traffic is both highly variable and delay sensitive, high-speed netw...

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...
