An adaptive random-reservation MAC protocol to guarantee QoS for ATM over satellite

摘要

In this paper we analyse the performance of an Adaptive Random-Reservation Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol which cna support all ATM service classes whiile providing the reuqired Quality of Service (QoS).Our study focuses on parameter optimisation of hte multiple access schemes for ATM over a GEO satellite with on-board procesing capabiliteis,ocnsidering varous traffic mixes of Constant Bit Rate (CBR),real-time Variable Bit Rate(rt VBR),non-real-time VBR(nrt VBR) and Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR).
