Abstract

Stability and throughput are investigated for a combined random-reservation access scheme employed in a satellite-based very small aperture terminal (VSAT) packet communication network. The analysis is based on the use of catastrophe theory by which the system behavior is characterized by the cusp catastrophe. A stable region is given in terms of system and user parameters such as packet generation rate, retransmission rate, channel division ratio and propagation delays. A numerical example is given to illustrate the analysis developed. Simulation results agree with the steady-state throughput of the model
