....occurs when the request is being sent, the terminal will not receive an acknowledgment from the hub after a round trip delay and will re transmit the request at that time. The terminal s MAC layer keeps re transmitting requests, using the p persistent algorithm, until a successful attempt is made [1]. One outstanding request is allowed per terminal at any time. Terminals use the p persistent algorithm whenever they want to use a CMS. It has been shown that in order to achieve stability, the probability p has to be adapted to traffic load. The optimum value for p is equal to the inverse of ....
....number of users, N a that are contending on the channel. Since neither the hub nor the individual terminals are capable of determining the number of active users contending on the channel, estimation algorithms are employed. In this model, the psuedoBayesian algorithm proposed by Rivest is used [1]. The Rivest algorithm operates by estimating the number of terminals waiting to transmit their requests at the beginning of each CMS. Each terminal then attempts to transmit with a probability, p. In a centralized system, the hub calculates the number of users, N a , based upon a standard formula ....

....on a common physical channel to request capacity for transmitting data, a medium access control (MAC) mechanism is required to organize the way by which those users share the channel. A description of the MAC protocol used in this project, which is of the Reservation Aloha type, is given in [1]. To quantify its performance and to optimize its use in a satellite environment, OPNET was used to model the MAC protocol, to capture all of its main features, while ensuring that it could still interface with the rest of the standard TCP IP stack. This effort proved invaluable especially when ....
