Abstract :
An integrated terrestrial and satellite mobile system is proposed. The integrated system enables a mobile satellite terminal to access the satellite system inside the coverage of the terrestrial network (inside an urban area). The system architecture, call handling, performance analysis on the access, and transmission protocols are discussed. A preliminary mathematical model used to evaluate the message retransmission strategy and the expected delay on the signaling channels are addressed
