title = "Performance Analysis of a Combined Random-Reservation Access Scheme",
abstract = "Stability and throughput are investigated for a combined random-reservation access scheme employed in a satellite-based very small aperture terminal (VSAT) packet communication network. The analysis is based on the use of catastrophe theory by which the system behavior is characterized by the cusp catastrophe. A stable region is given in terms of system and user parameters such as packet generation rate, retransmission rate, channel division ratio and propagation delays. A numerical example is given to illustrate the analysis developed. Simulation results agree with the steady-state throughput of the model.",

note = "Funding Information: The scheme under consideration is an outgrowth of the one described in [l]. N small earth stations are connected in star configuration to the hub station. Message transfer is always between the hub station and a small earth station; message transfer directly between two small earth stations is prohibited. A small earth station may generate either an interactive (short) message or a batch (long) message. A short message consists of one packet only; a long message consists of U + 1 packets. Slotted framed channel is considered. The frame, consisting of L slots, is further divided into Paper approved by the Editor for Queueing and Networking Performance of the IEEE Communications Society.
