An Access Protocol for Mobile Satellite Users with Reduced Link Margins and Contention Probability

چکیده
German Aerospace Center (DLR), Fraunhofer FOKUS.cats, and Tesat-Sapcecom have designed a future multimedia ATM-based 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 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 rain attenuation and shadowing

An Access Protocol for Mobile Satellite Users with reduced Link Margins and Contention Propability
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...
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 کاملOpportunistic Contention-Based Feedback Protocol for Downlink OFDMA Systems with Mixed Traffic
An opportunistic feedback protocol is proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems with mixed realtime (RT) and non-realtime (NRT) traffic. This protocol allocates a dedicated feedback channel for each RT user, while it allows all NRT users to compete to send feedback via a contention-based random access feedback channel. The proposed feedback protocol requires a f...
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 کاملOpportunistic Feedback in Clustered OFDM Systems
This paper proposes a random access based feedback protocol for the clustered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) downlink, which allows users to feed back their channel information to the base station (BS) in a distributed fashion. The proposed protocol employs a contention channel that consists of fixed amount of system resource to carry the feedback for each cluster. Active use...
