Abstract

This paper presents a detailed performance evaluation of the burst targeted demand assignment multiple-access (BTDAMA) schemes, which employ an original approach to implementing demand assignment multiple-access (DAMA), suited to supporting ON/OFF type traffic over a broadband geostationary satellite link. A novel analytical model is introduced which can be used to predict and evaluate the delay performance of rate-based medium access control schemes, and is applied to BTDAMA to investigate the potential performance enhancements offered by introducing free assigned capacity to the scheme. Results show that BTDAMA eliminates the end-to-end delay bound of traditional DAMA techniques, offering significantly superior performance compared with conventional schemes, with free assignment effective in improving the delay performance for a wide range of traffic burst durations.
