Satellite bandwidth allocation based on MPEG-4 videoconference traffic prediction

摘要

The provision of acceptable Quality-of-Service for multimedia traffic over a geosynchronous earth orbit satellite network demands the existence of a well-designed Medium Access Control protocol. This paper proposes a new dynamic satellite bandwidth allocation technique which is based on accurate MPEG-4 videoconference traffic prediction. The use of the prediction in our protocol is shown via a simulation study to provide very good throughput and delay results.
