Dynamic channel reservation in satellite-based wireless personal communication networks

This paper proposes a dynamic channel reservation scheme for an environment with changing traffic load features, such as a satellite will encounter when providing a telecommunication service at different locations. This dynamic policy makes adaptive channel reservation decisions according to the local load condition. As the suitability of channel reservation varies with traffic load, service quality of ongoing calls can be high when local load is light, whereas under this dynamic scheme, system capacity will be prioritized over service quality in heavily loaded areas.
