MILSTAR Traffic Analysis and Modeling

MILSTAR is a complex demand assignment multiple access communication system. Assessment of the payload's traffic handling capacity is analyzed using some simple queuing models to evaluate the performance advantages of sharing large blocks of channel resources among uses to achieve higher total throughput. Some numerical examples are given using both blocking probability and delay criteria as the performance metric. Evaluation of the resource control protocols is also investigated. Comparisons of fixed and adaptive compound protocols are discussed and compared.
