Abstract

This paper introduces the Burst Targeted Demand Assignment Multiple Access scheme with Pure Demand assigned slots (BTDAMA-PD), which employs a different approach to implementing DAMA, suited to handling long bursts from ON-OFF type data traffic sources. Its delay/throughput performance is compared with a variant of the Combined Free/Demand Assignment Multiple Access (CFDAMA) schemes. Simulation results show that BTDAMA-PD can achieve better delay/throughput performance of geo-stationary satellite channels carrying data traffic, with an excellent distribution of end-to-end delay values and low variation in the end-to-end delay of consecutive packet transmissions.
