A new call admission and medium access control framework for multimedia traffic over GEO satellite networksA new call admission and medium access control framework for multimedia traffic over GEO satellite networks Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2015-11-102008enThe burstiness of multimedia traffic and the long propagation delays in Geosynchronous (GEO) satellite systems call for an efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol and an equally efficient Call Admission Control (CAC) scheme, in order to provide acceptable Quality of Service (QoS) to multimedia users. This paper proposes a fair and dynamic CAC and MAC framework, named Fair Predictive Resource Reservation Access (FPRRA), which is based on accurate videoconference traffic prediction and makes decisions after taking into account the provider revenue. The framework¿s performance is evaluated in comparison to other efficient schemes from the literature.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/890 - 89511th IEEE International Conference on Communication Systems Koutsakis Polychronis Κουτσακης Πολυχρονης Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Communication satellites Communications-relay satellites Communications satellites Global satellite communications systems Satellite communication systems Telecommunication satellites Telecommunications satellites Telstar satellites artificial satellites in telecommunication communication satellites communications relay satellites communications satellites global satellite communications systems satellite communication systems telecommunication satellites telecommunications satellites telstar satellites
