SkyEdge Inbound Access Scheme Why are we dealing with Access Schemes?
Reducing OPEX – efficient use of space segment Supporting different applications/needs in one network Improving and controlling Network behavior
SkyEdge Family Hub

SkyEdge Access Schemes SkyEdge supports a variety of access schemes and channel types
The aim is providing highest adaptability to different network scenarios and customer needs
The network designer defines the inbound channel scheme according to traffic assumptions and desired network behavior
Flexibility – Only a combination of different channel types on one network can provide a good solution to accommodate different applications and services 3
Main highlights Combination of TDMA and FDM -> FTDMA High utilization DAMA – Dynamic Assigned Multiple Access Sharing of resources (opposed to PAMA) Slotted ALOHA Access Twice more utilized than pure ALOHA (36% to 18%)

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)

SkyEdge – Access Scheme II DA – Dedicated Access Channels (and Partial DA) Collisionfree channel !

Dividing the Inbound into separate bands Inbound channels can be divided to 8 groups Each group is configured independently (access, rates)
Value to the operator – Support a shared Hub service or adapt better to a network with different services.
Example Internet Residential service - 128 kbps channels, GA CDMA backhaul – 512 kbps channels, RA

The SkyEdge Hub supports different inbound channel rates in one inbound band Up to 3 different channel rates can be defined per Inbound Band The relation between them is of the form x1:x2:x4 Different set of rates can be configured for different inbound bands
