Abstract
The theory developed by J.-T. Lim and S.M. Meerkov (see ibid., vol.COM-35, p.1278-88, Dec. 1987) is extended to channels with long propagation delays. The performance characteristics of Markovian access control protocols in satellite channels are evaluated. It is shown that the channel propagation delay may lead to improvements in systems behavior, i.e. to elimination of the saturation effects and to stabilization of the network in a steady state with relatively high performance characteristics
