Satellite bandwidth allocation based on MPEG-4 videoconference traffic predictionSatellite bandwidth allocation based on MPEG-4 videoconference traffic prediction Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-10-262007enThe provision of acceptable Quality-of- Service for multimedia traffic over a geosynchronous earth orbit satellite network demands the existence of a well-designed Medium Access Control protocol. This paper proposes a new dynamic satellite bandwidth allocation technique which is based on accurate MPEG-4 videoconference traffic prediction. The use of the prediction in our protocol is shown via a simulation study to provide very good throughput and delay results.Δημοσίευση σε επιστημονικό περιοδικό http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Wireless Personal Communications4431195-1200 Koutsakis Polychronis Κουτσακης Πολυχρονης Springer Verlag Medium Access Control protocol satellite bandwidth MPEG-4
