Abstract :
We present a policy for handling multimedia traffic over satellite air interfaces. It extends the advantages of ATM to satellite by the statistical multiplexing of variable-rate traffic sources. Effectiveness is assessed within a multimedia satellite platform called EuroSkyWay, based on Ka-band payload and on-board processing
