MALLARD Communications Traffic Requirements.
Abstract
The emphasis during this period has been on sizing the channel requirements for two alternative satellite communication plans for the Australian Deployment No. 1. A new Nodal Needlines Data File was generated for both satellite plans. A Network Sizing was performed for each plan, using the TD-15 Model 1 simulator. The results are compared in this Report. A tabulated summary is given of the chief features of the four computer simulation runs which have been performed to date. Some further minor modifications to the computer programmes are described. The Network Sizing performed for the original tropo communication plan (which appeared in the First Quarterly Technical Progress Report), was used as a guide to the initial choice of link capacities for a Network Simulation. This Network Simulation will however be performed for a revised tropo communications plan, based on a revised estimate of the capacity of the Mallard Troposcatter Radio Receiver. This tropo plan is significantly different from the original, both in connectivity and in the allocation of the six trunk switches. Two Network Simulations based on the revised tropo plan are planned for the next Quarter.
