A hybrid access protocol for multiple access satelite communications network

Abstract

A new hybrid protocol for multiple access in satellite Commucations is proposed. Its stability is proved under general stationary assumptions. Also, we show the continuity of the system distributions as a function of the input distributions and obtain some stochastic comparison results. A dynamic decentralized algorithm is developed to obtain efficient partitioning of the set of users, Some simulation results are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of these algorithms.
