A New MAC Protocol Based on Multimedia Traffic Prediction in Satellite Systems
in Proc. the 6th International Conference on Next Generation Teletraffic and Wired/Wireless Advanced Networking (NEW2AN), St. Petersburg, Russia, May 2006
Overview
A satellite access control protocol for the DVB-RCS return channel that uses videoconference traffic prediction to allocate bandwidth ahead of demand.
Key contributions
- DAR(1) model of multiplexed H.263 videoconference used for prediction.
- Reaches 76% to 83% throughput, close to an ideal allocator and over twice peak-rate allocation.
Abstract
The provision of acceptable Quality-of-Service (QoS) for integrated multimedia traffic over a geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) satellite network demands the existence of a well-designed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. This paper proposes a new dynamic satellite bandwidth allocation technique which is based on accurate videoconference traffic prediction. Our work is combined with another work on data traffic modeling and prediction and is shown to provide very good throughput and delay results.
