Call Admission Control for DVB-S2 Systems

This paper deals with the investigation and performance evaluation of suitable Call Admission Control strategies for connection-like services, such as VoIP and videoconferencing, in second generation DVB-S systems (in a scenario with transparent satellite), where adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) is applied as fade mitigation technique, causing variations in the available capacity in terms of bps.
