Abstract :
This paper analyzes the performance of a multibeam packet satellite using ALOHA type random access techniques. The satellite is assumed to provide an infinite buffer for successful packets on the uplinks of various beam zones. The transition overhead of downlink transponder can be arbitrary. TDMA frame is organized according to the traffic demand of each zone. System through-put and packet delay have been successfully obtained. This work is an extension of Ref. 1
