  • Abstract
    A study has been carried out to ascertain the potential benefits of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) in the context of satellite communications and to determine the most suitable system architectures. System design guidelines are examined, and the network architecture, transmission arrangements, multiplexing and switching schemes, medium access control, and protocol layering are discussed. Particular consideration is given to the definition of the onboard switch structure.
