Abstract :
This paper deals with an optimized packet access scheme depending on traffic load conditions that is able to support efficiently three traffic classes (voice, Web interactive and short messages) in non-geostationary mobile satellite systems. We adopt the equilibrium point analysis in order to study the stability of our scheme. This allows identifying optimal values for the protocol control parameters. Extensive comparisons have been performed with other techniques in the literature showing the good results achieved by our protocol.
