Abstract

Throughput performance of Globalstar Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite system is considered. The effect of Multiple Access Interference (MAI) on throughput performance of a direct sequence spread spectrum LEO satellite communications network is discussed under non-uniform traffic model. Both Dense Traffic Satellite (DTS) and Sparse Traffic Satellite (STS) throughput are calculated. Finally we compare the normalized throughputs of both DTS and STS
