Abstract

Future mobile communication system will provide services to users worldwide. It is essential to define efficient medium access control (MAC) protocols that is suitable for both terrestrial and satellite systems. A modified packet reservation multiple access protocol in hindering state (PRMA-HS) protocol is proposed for the low Earth orbit mobile satellite systems (LEO-MSS). The equilibrium point analysis (EPA) method is used to verify the performance and the simulation is completed at the same time. A performance comparison between the PRMA-HS and the MPRMA-HS has shown very promising results in terms of both the packet drop probability and throughput.
