Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach for dynamic bandwidth allocation
in geo-stationary satellite networks. Each Satellite Gateway (SG)
uses a local adaptive predictor to forecast the future input traffic
flow along with a local predictive (receding-horizon) controller
to generate a bandwidth request to the Network Control Center (NCC).
In turn, the NCC globally shares out the available bandwidth among
the requesting SGs according to a suitable fair resource allocation
policy. Simulation experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the
proposed approach in terms of efficient bandwidth usage and low packet
delivery delays under different traffic load conditions.
