Although, in the authors' view, a general answer to this problem can not be found, this paper presents performance comparisons of two systems utilizing the above-mentioned access techniques. In particular, the Mobile Satellite Business Network (MSBN), (a CDMA system currently being developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) ad hoc for satellite applications) and the full integrated extension to satellite systems of the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) (the well-known pan-European mobile cellular system) are compared by taking as reference payload the European Mobile Satellite (EMS) (a geostationary satellite to be launched in the near future). The performance comparisons are carried out in terms of link feasibility and number of available channels for the same quality requirements and emitted power levels, in the same propagation environments and for the same interference levels coming from adjacent satellites.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":158681,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICCS '94","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131891907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The former results yield the multiplexer system queue occupancy using the D-BMAP/D/1 queueing system, where the aggregate of a set of homogeneous on/off sources have been modeled as a single D-BMAP. The multiplexer performance is analyzed using the first two moments of the queue distribution, which have a direct impact on the cell end-to-end delay and its variation. We express the functional equation of an infinite-capacity queueing system loaded by a set of homogeneous on/off sources and derive the first two moments of the number of cells in the system. We highlight the relationships between the source parameters, the moments and the boundary probabilities involved.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":158681,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICCS '94","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134381393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A lot of low delay speech coders have been proposed in the past few years. But almost all of them focus on the speech bit rate between 8 kb/s to 16 kb/s. The authors present a low delay speech coder operating at 4.8 kb/s which provides good speech quality with a coding delay only about 2.5 msec. This new low delay coder uses backward LPC analysis to remove the short-term correlation from speech and adopts a new approach to predict the long term prediction (LTP) coefficients based on a \"dual-decision\" scheme. At the excitation part, the authors exploit a new excitaton model which contains a sinusoid signal codebook and a stochastic codebook to excite the whole speech system. The synthesized speech of this coder has comparable quality to that of FS-1016 CELP coder while having a delay constraint more than an order of magnitude smaller than that of the FS-1016 coder.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":158681,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICCS '94","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133650222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these systems, because of their small coverage area compared with conventional geostationary satellites, the nonuniformity of the traffic affects the performance of the system considerably. The throughput characteristics of a system with direct-sequence packet spread-slotted ALOHA multiple-access technique are evaluated and it is shown that that the traffic nonuniformity makes the characteristics of the system significantly different from the results of the uniform traffic case and that the performance of each user varies according to the location. Moreover, the interference from the users of adjacent satellites is shown to be one of the main factors that limits the performance of system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":158681,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICCS '94","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132297099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
