Alternative Packet Switch Architectures for a 30/20 Ghz Fdma/Tdma Geostationary Communication Satellite Network by National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA Pdf
This study has investigated alternatives for realizing a packet-based network switch for deployment on a communication satellite. The emphasis was on the avoidance of contention problems that can occur due to the simultaneous arrival of an excessive number of packets destined for the same downlink dwell. The study was to look ahead, beyond the current Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) capability, to the next generation of satellites. The study has not been limited by currently available technology, but has used university and commercial research efforts as a basis for designs that can be readily constructed and launched within the next five years. Tradeoffs in memory requirement, power requirement, and architecture have been considered as a part of our study. Stehle, Roy and Ogier, Richard G. Unspecified Center NAS3-25934; RTOP 506-72-21...
