Queueing Models for Designing Digital Communication Satellite Systems.

Abstract

Satellites have an enormous potential for providing efficient communication links between many widely scattered ground stations. By interpreting the messages as customers in a queueing system, an unusual type of queueing model can be formulated to describe this process. The expected waiting time of the messages in the queue can then be derived for different configurations in order to guide the design of the system. (Author)
