Abstract

Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems are intended to have an important part of the future generation of mobile telecommunication systems. They aim to provide different services to various populations of users. Each class of users requires a certain Quality of Service (QoS) and thus a given part of the shared channel resource. In this paper, ŁEO\ satellite systems based on an earth-fixed cell concept are considered, and different channel allocation strategies with handover queuing are discussed. Two channel allocation techniques have been investigated: fixed and dynamic channel allocation \FCA\ and DCA. Moreover, in order to reduce the handover failure probability, we have assumed that handover attempts can be queued. An analytical model has been derived in the \FCA\ case considering both handover queuing and users diversity. Implementation aspects for the \DCA\ scheme have been discussed in comparison with \FCA\ results.
