Simulation and Analysis Optimization Ku-Band Satellite Transponder

In this paper the use of a 36Mbps Satellite Ku-Band transponder that will be used for internet services for VSAT terminals. The capacity of the Ku-Band transponder serves several VSATs that will be connected to broadband internet through the Hub station. Transponder Satellite is a resource that is limited in bandwidth and limited in power, of course, planning is needed in its application. Planning for the optimal use of satellite transponders is carried out using Network Simulator NS-2. The satellite transponder used for internet services provides bandwidth for both Hub stations and VSAT terminals. This satellite internet service uses the TCP/IP communication protocol which will access services from the VSAT terminal to the hub station. Planning the use of transponders with NS-2 will obtain QoS parameters including throughput, packet loss, end to end delay and packet received. This can be obtained from QoS information from VSAT that uses Ku-Band transponders for internet services.
