On-line Bandwidth Control for Quality of Service Mapping over Satellite Independent Service Access Points

In the broadband satellite multimedia (BSM) architecture, developed by the European Telecommunications Standardizatlon Institute (ETSI), the physical layers are isolated from the rest by a satellite independent-service access point (SI-SAP). For technological reasons, satellite independent (SI) traffic accesses, requiring different QoS guarantees, must be aggregated together within the satellite dependent (SD) core and may change encapsulation format. Moreover, SD layers must assure proper fading countermeasures to face satellite channel radiation. In this work, we investigate a novel control algorithm to tackle the envisaged problems. Simulation results update the proposed approach
