Advanced Radio Resource Allocation Strategies for Satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcast (SDMB) System

This paper presents a novel approach for the radio resource allocation as part of the overall Radio Resource Management scheme for the Satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcast (SDMB) system. A two-stage bin-packing algorithm is designed and employed for channel mapping which considers multiplexing at both the transport and physical channels so as to achieve the highest possible degree of utilization and efficiency of the available system capacity. Evaluations of these schemes are performed for various traffic mixes and physical channel configuration scenarios.
