■ Each frequency slot serves a group of VSATs ■ Complete bandwidth available to all sites
■ More adapted to low bit-rates with low ■ More adapted to variable bit-rates and variety
variability of applications
and well known applications ■ high utilization

■ Each frequency slot serves a group of VSATs ■ Complete bandwidth available to all sites
■ More adapted to constant bit-rates with low ■ More adapted to variable bit-rates and variety of
variability and well known applications applications
■ Wasted BW when no traffic ■ Efficient when no traffic
■ Not scalable ■ Very scalable 6
SkyEdge – Access Scheme I
RA – Random Access – best for short transactional applications
lowest latency – ping time as low as 600 msec
collision
Time
Frequency
CRA – Collision Reduction Algorithm – managing the busy VSATs by distributing them
among different channels (avoid two busy VSATs on the same channel group) 7
SkyEdge – Access Scheme II

Time
allocation
ADA Triggers
• TCP/UDP port number
• IP Address source/dest
RA RA DA Frequency
• IB Rate of Traffic (ROT)
Separation between
Voice and Data –
guarantees predictable
QoS for Voice at all
times (according GOS)
Time
allocation GA provides 25% better
space utilization over an
RA network
Circuit switched
Utilization
Lowest jitter
Low delay
Low BW per call
Controlled Quality

SkyEdge – Access Scheme III
Time

Mesh channels
provide connections
with half the latency
as opposed to star
Time channels
Example
Internet Residential service - 128 kbps channels, GA
CDMA backhaul – 512 kbps channels, RA
