Title
Qos Considerations For Future Military Satcom Networks With Link Layer Dynamic Resource Allocation
Abstract
To efficiently utilize limited RF resources, future military packet-switched satellite networks will dynamically allocate resources on the uplink and downlink. Designing the resource allocation algorithms to maximize link layer efficiency is insufficient. The resource allocation algorithms must work cooperatively with the network layer and transport layer to optimize network layer performance and provide quality of service (QoS) to applications and users. Several mechanisms for facilitating this required cooperation between the layers are presented. The individual roles and actions of the layers as well as their interaction are defined. QoS schedulers that continue to provide service differentiation in the presence of link variations are illustrated. Downlink scheduling architectures that provide terminal QoS guarantees are demonstrated. Finally, the interaction between TCP and the dynamic resource allocation algorithms is investigated, leading to suggested modifications of either the resource allocation algorithms, the TCP protocol, or both.
