On providing dynamic resource allocation based on multimedia traffic prediction in satellite systemsOn providing dynamic resource allocation based on multimedia traffic prediction in satellite systems Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-10-262007enThe provision of acceptable Quality-of-Service (QoS) for integrated multimedia traffic over a geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) satellite network demands the existence of a well-designed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. This paper proposes a new dynamic satellite bandwidth allocation technique (Predictive Resource Reservation Access, PRRA) which is based on accurate videoconference traffic prediction. Our work is combined with another work on data traffic modeling and prediction and is shown to provide very good throughput and delay results.Δημοσίευση σε επιστημονικό περιοδικό http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Computer Communications230404–415 Koutsakis Polychronis Κουτσακης Πολυχρονης Elsevier Satellite networks MAC protocol H.263 video encoding Multimedia traffic prediction
