Network and MAC Issues for Mobile Satellite Multimedia Networks

Overview The aim of this paper is to present a suitable satellite multimedia network architecture and the results of simulated medium access control (MAC) protocols. The new generation of satellite multimedia networks is going to handle different types of traffic such as multimedia traffic. The ATM technology was developed for the integrated transmission of various types of traffic. The future networks protocols should be as much as possible compatible and that is one of the main reasons to think about the use of ATM technology for transmission over satellites. Satellite networks present a lot of challenges related to quality of services (QoS) provision and the medium access control access protocols are strongly related to QoS provision.

SOS: Finding your way through the broadband acronym jungle

One long distance wireless option could be satellite transfer, but it is mostly suitable for remote locations as densely populated areas don't allow the transmission of radio waves. Cable modems at the users' premises allow data transmission via...

IP over everything?

In practice, the former involves finding a method of utilising traditional SDH infrastructure to transport IP using time-honoured protocols such as ATM and Frame Relay. We've already launched our IP VPN QoS network and that is connected using SDH...

VoIP: Don't forget about security

QoS [quality of service] is a key enabler when securing the network because we define certain types of traffic that are most likely to be generated by worm attacks, rate limiting those right at the edge of the network," he says.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: GPS changes everything

The good news is that nano-gyros will soon afford us an inertial navigation facility that does not rely on satellites alone, and it will also work indoors. And when satellite lock is lost due to high buildings, wet trees and intense rain, the user...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
