Aggregate resource reservation with predictive estimation in integrated scalable terrestrial-satellite network

In this paper we study the recent aggregated RSVP (ARSVP) protocol and in particular the introduction of this new protocol on integrated scalable terrestrial and IntServ satellite network. We focus on a novel proposed DiffServ like architecture called scalable core (SCORE) used in the terrestrial reference network in order to offer more scalability for large dimensions network. The integration between this terrestrial segment with a satellite geostationary platform is outlined. A new aggregate dynamic advance reservation has been proposed in order to give more effectiveness to ARSVP protocol. Different simulations are lead out in order to study the performance of the overall system evaluated in terms of signalling overhead and resource utilization. The study shows that the dynamic advance reservation can improve the terrestrial utilization reducing the control overhead in comparison aggregate static reservation.
