Abstract :
In this paper we consider an SS/TDMA system with 
uplink beams and 
downlink beams, where uplink beam 
has bandwidth βi and downlink beam 
has bandwidth αj . The maximum traffic which can be handled by the satellite (in any given time slot) is assumed to be 
. Multiplexing and demuitiplexing are also assumed. An optimal time slot assignment algorithm to minimize the total transmission time for any given traffic demand matrix is proposed and analyzed. Other system configurations of interest are also discussed.
