Effective access scheme of reverse link in IP packet based satellite access network

In this paper, we propose retransmission announced reservation multiple access (RARMA) scheme for multimedia services in satellite networks. In proposed scheme, resources are reserved according to the occasion demands by using spare reservation and released later using a distributed release scheme. We analyze the throughput and the delay of RARMA, verify them, and show that our proposed scheme maximizes the throughput and minimizes average packet delay, through analysis and computer simulation.
