Satellite networks are going to play an important role in the global information infrastructure. Satellites can be used to provide Internet services to fixed users and to mobile users. However, recent measurements show ...

Satellite is going to play an important role in the global information infrastructure. Satellite canprovide direct to home Internet service (i.e. DirecPC from Hughes Network System) and it can alsoserve as traffic trunk ...

A multichannel random access protocol called FMCSA for multislot short messages is proposed in this paper to be used in access networks with large propagation delay. This protocol combines random access with the use of ...

We evaluate web browsing performance over a multiple access satellite channel for three different MAC layer protocols. A web user behavior model is used to generate realistic source traffic. A new transport layer protocol ...

Abstract-- Broadcast satellite networks are going play an important role in the global information infrastructure. Several systems including DirecWayfrom Hughes Network System use satellites to provide direct-to-user high ...

In this paper, we study the capacity planning in wireless access network for interactive data services such as web browsing. A closed queuing model has been developed which can capture the bottleneck effects in both the ...

Satellites are now being used to carry Internet traffic which brings new opportunities as well as new challenges to the satellite industry. Our goal in this dissertation is to design efficient and fair transport layer and ...
