Oscillation suppression for traffic class dependent routing in ISL network

Adaptive per-hop routing in the intersatellite link (ISL) network of a packet-switched, nongeostationary satellite system is addressed. In particular, a traffic class dependent (TCD) routing is proposed with different optimization criteria for different traffic classes. Furthermore, for delay sensitive traffic, performance is enhanced by an exponential smoothing link-cost function, which reduces traffic load oscillations in the network. The performance of the proposed procedures is evaluated in two different traffic scenarios using an appropriate simulation model     

Traffic class dependent routing in ISL networks

This work addresses traffic class dependent (TCD) routing, using different link-cost functions, in the intersatellite link (ISL) network of a nongeostationary packet-switched satellite communication system. Three different traffic classes are introduced, each with its particular optimisation criteria. Performance analysis of TCD routing, in terms of average packet delay and average data throughput of a particular traffic class, is evaluated for homogeneous and nonhomogeneous traffic scenarios using a specifically developed simulation model of the ISL network.
