An efficient iterative procedure is used to compute the limiting state distributions of the embedded Markov chains representing the system state process. The authors obtain the distributions of the token rotation time, the normalized throughput, and the mean packet waiting time. By using conditional residual delay analysis, moments of the packet delay are computed. The application of the analytic approach is illustrated through numerical examples representing FDDI network systems under various traffic conditions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":394587,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 92 Conference Record","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133337992","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 the ground subnetwork, code-division multiple-access with movable boundary in the code domain is used to serve the voice traffic and the retransmitted data traffic; on the satellite subnetwork, framed ALOHA with movable boundary is used for both data and voice. Based on a Markovian model of the system, the channel access protocols for both traffic types are analyzed. The performance of the above multiple-access schemes is evaluated in terms of voice and data throughput, voice blocking probability, and data delay. It is shown that splitting of retransmission traffic between the satellite and ground subnets increases the overall data throughput when the voice load is high.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":394587,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 92 Conference Record","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133463010","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}

This technique, referred to as fixed reference shift keying, uses a pilot reference signal within the coherence bandwidth of the channel and instantaneous phase estimation techniques at the receiver. Signal estimation is performed using the difference in instantaneous phase estimates of the pilot and carrier received waveforms. This relative phase measurement ensures a degree of immunity to the phase distortion introduced by the channel, permitting a marked improvement in performance.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":394587,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 92 Conference Record","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115051432","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}
