Next-generation Internet infrastructures have two specific macroscopic requirements:
ubiquity and quality of service guarantee. Satellite and wireless systems can easily …

This paper presents an analysis of speedup advantages noticeable by users of satellite
networks when these users are offered higher bandwidth satellite links. The final outcome of …

This paper will discuss current deployment scenarios for Performance Enhancement Proxies
(PEP) technologies in broadband satellite access systems from the perspective of one PEP …

In this paper, we propose a predictive traffic estimation strategy for the resource allocation to
uplinks in the satellite communication. Estimating the traffic arriving during the next epoch is …

Future satellite communication systems proposed use geosynchronous (GEO) satellites,
medium earth orbit (MEO), and low earth orbit (LEO) constellations. Most of the next …

Bandwidth in Satellite systems is a resource typically scarce and expensive. To increase
efficiency and contain costs of satellite communications, bandwidth on demand (BoD) …

On 26th of March 2010, the Norwegian Parliament approved the Norwegian Armed Forces
project of acquiring a communications satellite. Combined with the increasing use of civilian …

This work deals with an enhanced Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) scheme designed
for satellite communication networks deployed under DVB-RCS. Our contribution defines a …

TCP-based data flows generate packets and ACKs in two directions, be it in the wireline or
wireless networks. In the latter case, packets are typically found in the downlink whereas …

The AI 3 project aims to achieve effective and fair bandwidth usage of its relatively narrow
satellite links by all the partners in this project and the best possible end-to-end …
