Abstract

We analyze the Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocols for Satellite ATM, which use Adaptive Random-Reservation scheme to request the transmission slots and transfer different classes of data by taking the advantage of On-Board Radio Resource Management to provide the qualities of service. In addition, our MAC protocol design is based on Multiple-Frequency Time Division Multiple Access (MF-TDMA), which can save the uplink transmission power and occupy almost full time slot to achieve the high throughput. In this paper, OPNET Modeler/Radio is used to simulate the specific contention and reservation algorithm of MAC protocols.
