Abstract :
The structure and performance of an integrated system for all mobile communications, based on the Pan European digital cellular network standard, are presented. The system architecture and protocols are discussed. A performance analysis of the satellite access procedure is given. Also, the performance of a satellite system integrated with the terrestrial network is considered, referring to the present bandwidth allocation for a land mobile satellite system. The results suggest that some the proposals are feasible solutions for the integration of a satellite system with the terrestrial network for mobile communications
