Abstract

Combined free/demand-assignment multiple-access (CFDAMA) schemes are suitable for broad-band packet satellite communications systems serving a finite number of bursty data sources. The performance analysis of the CFDAMA using piggy-backed (PB) reservation is presented. The probability generating function (PGF) of the packet delay is developed. The performance is evaluated in terms of three performance measures: average packet delay, variance of packet delay, and cumulative probability distribution of packet delay. Performance comparison with other pertinent schemes shows CFDAMA-PB to be superior for a wide range of user population sizes
