Provision of Video-on-Demand Services via Broadband GEO Satellite Systems

  • Conference paper
Mobile and Personal Satellite Communications 3

Abstract

We investigate the feasibility of providing video-on-demand services via broadband multibeam satellite systems, by examining three alternative system configurations. For each configuration we evaluate system performance to examine compliance with two-way residential applications requirements; relevant performance measures include service request blocking probability, service start-up delay, and response time to interactive user commands.
