Resource Management in Satellite Networks part 3. This book provides significant knowledge on innovative radio resource management schemes for satellite communication systems that exploit lower layer adaptivity and the knowledge of layer 3 IP QoS support and transport layer behavior. The book integrates competencies considering all the parts of system design: propagation aspects, radio resource management, access protocols, network protocols, transport layer protocols, and more, to cover both broadband and mobile satellite systems | List of Acronyms and Abbreviations 3G 3rd Generation 3GPP 3rd Generation Partnership Project 4G 4th Generation AAA Authentication Authorization and Accounting ABC Always Best Connected ABR Available Bit Rate AC Adaptive Coding ACK Acknowledgement ACM Adaptive Coding and Modulation ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line AF Assured Forwarding AICH Acquisition Indicator Channel AIMD Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease AP Access Point API Application Programming Interface APP Application layer APSK Amplitude and Phase Shift Keying AQM Active Queue Management AR Access Router ARP Address Resolution Protocol ARQ Automatic Repeat reQuest ASC Access Service Class ASD Aggregated System Demand ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode AVBDC Absolute Volume Based Dynamic Capacity AWGN Additive White Gaussian Noise BCH Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem in Chapter 1 BCH Broadcast Channel in Chapter 5 BDP Bandwidth-Delay Product BE Best Effort BER Bit Error Rate BGAN Broadband Global Area Network BGAN-X BGAN Extension project B-ISDN Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network BLER Block Error Rate BM-SC Broadcast-Multicast Service Center BO Bandwidth Occupation BoD Bandwidth on Demand BPM BSM Protocol Manager BPSK Binary Phase Shift Keying BS Base Station BSA Broadband Satel lite Access BSM Broadband Satel lite Multimedia BSM_ID BSM Identifier BSS Broadcasting Satel lite Service BTP Burst Time Plan CA Congestion Avoidance CAC Call Admission Control CBP Call Blocking Probability CBQ Class-Based Queuing CBR Constant Bit Rate CCM Constant Coding Modulation CDM Code Division Multiplexing CDMA Code Division Multiple Access CDMA HDR CDMA High Data Rate CDP Call Dropping Probability CDVT Cell Delay Variation Tolerance CEN European Committee for Standardization CENELEC European Committee for Electro-technical Standardization CEPT European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations CF DAMA Combined Free Demand Assignment Multiple Access C I Carrier-to-Interference ratio CIF-Q .
