Abstract

This paper proposes lower layer protocols for a portable multimedia satellite communication system using a bi-directional satellite circuit. The point-to-point protocol is extended for controlling forward satellite channels based on a reservation scheme. Simulation results show that this control scheme enlarges the number of simultaneous accessing users and enhances TCP throughput
