Throughput evaluation of a satellite-switched CDMA (SS

This paper presents throughput evaluation of a satellite-switched code-division multiple-access (SS/CDMA) system which operates under demand assignment control. SS/CDMA provides both multiple access and switching to a geostationary multibeam satellite. Multiple access is resolved by space, frequency...
