Abstract:
This paper introduces a criterion, based on the Lp-problem, which has been employed to allocate capacity among Earth Stations. The obtained allocations permit a performance compromise between Packet Loss and Transmitted Power, which are taken into account as performance metrics. Moreover, starting from the proposed $L_p$-problem based allocation and considering specific analytical models for the Packet Loss Probability (PLP) and the Transmitted Power (TP), the paper highlights the existence of a Capacity Bound, independent of the overall capacity available Ctot, on which the allocations converge. The main contribution of the paper concerns the performance analysis, carried out by simulation, which shows that the proposed method enables a significant savings of capacity and Transmitted Power and simultaneously, with only a limited worsening of the Packet Loss.
