Efficient Resource Utilization Through Carrier Grouping for Half-Duplex Communication in GSM-Based MEO Mobile Satellite Networks
Overview This paper addresses the resource allocation problem that arises in the context of a medium-earth-orbit (MEO) satellite system with half-duplex communication capabilities. MEO satellite systems are characterized by large propagation delays and large intrabeam delay variations, which are shown to result in resource consumption. The paper proposes a channel classification scheme, in which the available carriers are partitioned into classes and each class is associated with a range of propagation delays to the satellite.
