Popis: An efficient resource management is crucial in supporting multimedia traffic in satellite networks. To this, Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Capabilities mechanisms can be exploited to deliver the required QoS while optimising the bandwidth utilization. This paper just deals with the design of innovative algorithms for scheduling and sending the resource requests queued on a EuroSkyWay [1,2] satellite terminal to a Traffic Resource Manager (TRM). The effectiveness of the defined mechanisms has been evaluated through computer simulations. Particularly, by considering different mixes of MPEG-2 traffic and HTTP traffic, the Average Waiting Time (AWT) of the requests and their Losses Percentage have been calculated and compared with those ones obtained using algorithms proposed in MAC layer EuroSkyWay specifications.
