Abstract

Satellite communications are experiencing a renewed interest. This paper deals with possible cross-layer approaches requiring a modification of protocol layers in the design phase as well as new dynamic interactions and adaptations. An IP satellite network has been considered that is based on the DVB-S2/-RCS standard where, according to the BSM protocol architecture, the SI-SAP interface and related primitives are used to connect higher protocol layers with lower (MAC and PHY) ones. The interest is here on cross-layering and BSM primitives. A case study is proposed with related signaling for a TCP-aware DAMA scheme.
