Abstract

The effect of multiple-access interference on the throughput performance of a direct-sequence spread-spectrum low-Earth-orbiting satellite communications network is discussed. To recognize the effect of interference when their sources are either inside or outside the service area of a satellite, we develop a stochastic model for the location of users. We show that the effect of interference on the performance degradation from users with large propagation distance to their connecting satellites is the dominant factor. Hence, to improve the performance of the system, we propose a method in which the transmissions of packets are controlled according to their distances to connecting satellites as well as the traffic distribution
