Next-Generation Satellite Networks: Architectures and Implementations

0163-6804/99/$10.00 © 1999 IEEE e are in the midst of a global information revolution brought about by the evolution of digital technology. The enormous strides in digital technology and its applications have fundamentally changed the way in which information is generated, processed, stored, and transported. The resulting information infrastructure will produce profound changes in all aspects o...

Mobile Systems Challenges in Next Generation Networks

Customary network migration to Next Generation Networks (NGN) is due to service integration and low cost of the offered services in NGN. NGN is based on an IP/MPLS backbone through which all traffics pass. Besides, different mobile generations up to R99 UMTS are all based on the circuit switch systems. Thus the connections to NGN may cause some challenges. In this paper, to provide these connec...

A QoS Architecture for DVB-RCS Next Generation Satellite Networks

The standardization of a Return Channel via Satellite (DVB-RCS) and satellite community efforts in term of interoperability over the last few years lead to quite a positive outcome: Geostationary satellite networks are intended to provide broadband access to interactive multimedia services in low infrastructure areas. However, in order to take in account real-time multimedia traffic, an efficie...

Satellite and next generation networks: proposal for QoS architectures

Broadband satellite systems will need specific functions and interfaces in order to fit seamlessly into an endto-end Next Generation Network (NGN) Quality of Service (QoS) architecture. This paper will define NGN overall architecture, showing how the coupling between Application/session layers and Network/transport layers can achieve end-to-end QoS support. Possible integration scenarios of sat...
