SUMMARYThis paper presents a QoS, architecture for the Higher Layers Satellite in the second generation Digital Video Broadcasting with Return Channel via Satellite standard. It describes the flexibility offered by integrating link and network functions to support internet protocol-based differentiated QoS. The operation of key mechanisms is outlined and analysed to show how these may be combined to realise differentiated services by defining mappings between per-hop behaviours, to queues in the traffic plane and return channel satellite terminal request classes in the control plane. Simulation is used to show that an appropriate mapping can be used to can tune the offered service to different traffic classes and that an appropriate assignment can significantly improve the satellite bandwidth efficiency and/or the performance/QoS supplied to a traffic class.
Satellite systems are playing a key role like access network in the provision of next generation services. New concepts in the payloads architectures are required in order to support efficiently the new multimedia services. This paper will present the study of next generation payload architecture (in the context of Satsix project), taking into account the impact over different system scenarios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
