Abstract

This paper deals with a study on resource management strategies in Low Earth orbit mobile satellite systems (LEO-MSSs). A suitable mobility model has been proposed. Fixed channel allocation (FCA) has been considered. Moreover, we have foreseen that inter-beam handover requests, which do not immediately find service, can be queued in order to reduce the handover failure rate. An analytical approach has been developed to compare two different queuing disciplines and its results have been compared with simulations
