Abstract

In this paper we design and implement a dynamic bandwidth assignment and an Earth station control system for Internet-like satellite-based communication, which may require different link speeds at different times. Satellite links have limited bandwidth, and for satellite communications to work we have to assign a certain bandwidth to each Earth station. Currently, satellite links have fixed bandwidth assignments. If satellite links are to be used for communication in a manner similar to the Internet, some channels may experience congestion while others do not. In order to improve the usage of all channels a dynamic bandwidth assignment function based on traffic is needed. Use of the system proposed in this paper can improve the usage of satellite channels and reduce the administration cost of Earth stations.
