Performance of Combined Free/Demand Assignment Multi-Access (CFDAMA) Protocol with Pre-Assigned Request Slots in Integrated Voice/Data Satellite Communications

摘要

The Combined Free/Demand Assignment Multi-Access (CFDAMA) protocols have been introduced in [1] for dynamic resource allocation in wideband packet satellite communications. This paper presents a performance analysis of CFDAMA with pre-assigned request slots for a wide range of population sizes and in an integrated voice/data environment. Numerical results of illustrative examples are presented. Simulation results are also provided and compared to analytical results.
