Abstract

Because of their large geographic coverage, inherent broadcast capabilities, and fast deployment features, network operators plan to use satellite-based networks to supplement existing wire-line and legacy networks to bring broadband and multimedia services to end-users. Satellites are multiple access systems with limited transmission capacity compared to terrestrial network nodes. Therefore, end-to-end resource management for such systems is key to deliver acceptable Quality of Service (QoS) to services while providing adequate efficiency. Using simulations, we study in some detail a method integrating Bandwidth on Demand with Call Admission Control in geostationary satellite networks with an on-board switch. In particular, we describe a set of algorithms and study the impact of different types of bandwidth reservation on the QoS received by the connections and on the network efficiency.
