Abstract:
We are living in the world in which resources are limited compared to the traffic demands, which are increasing rapidly. In this environment, it is essential for the resource management techniques to maximize the effectiveness of the resource utilization. In particular, since the satellite resource such as on-board power, bandwidth even beam itself are expensive and limited due to its inherent characteristics, an effort to enhance the efficiency on their utilization is crucial. In this paper, we consider beam resource management in the N multi-beam satellite system. The simulation result demonstrates that the proposed scheme selecting only K(≤N)active beams assigning the beam power can achieve the increase of a total throughput compared to the non-selective beam allocation.
