  • Abstract
    VSAT (very-small-aperture terminal) satellite networks, are discussed, focusing on a particular network called STARCOM. The STARCOM system architecture is presented. A multiple-access protocol developed specifically for the STARCOM system is described and its performance is examined. The management capabilities of the STARCOM system are considered in detail.<>
