Connections Management Strategies in Satellite Cellular Networks

This book provides a novel method based on advantages ofmobility model of Low Earth Orbit Mobile Satellite System LEO MSSwhich allows the evaluation of instant of subsequent handover of aMS even if its location is unknown. This method is then utilized topropose two prioritized handover schemes, Pseudo Last UsefulInstant PLUI strategy and Dynamic Channel Reservation DCR-likescheme based respectively on LUI and DCR schemes, previouslyproposed in literature. The authors also approach a differentaspect of handover problem: calls with short durations dropped dueto a handover failure. We propose a decision system based on fuzzylogic Rescuing System that allows the rescue of calls with shortdurations facing a premature at the expense of those lasting forlong durations.
