Abstract

Based on the data generated for traffic volume estimation for satellite mobile systems, and by utilising computer simulations, the general statistical characteristics of non-geostationary (non-GEO) satellite beam traffic are presented. Simulation results show that the traffic level in a non-GEO satellite beam varies dramatically and with a wide dynamic range. This is significantly different from the case of geostationary satellite and terrestrial cellular networks
