ABSTRACT

In this paper, we consider the issue of throughput and packet drop rate (PDR) optimization as two performance metrics for delay sensitive applications in network coded time division duplex (TDD) satellite systems with large round trip times (RTTs). We adopt random linear network coding (RLNC) and our purpose is to obtain the optimum RLNC-based transmission strategy. We start with a single-user case and propose a systematic framework to investigate the advantage of using feedback by comparing feedback-free and feedback schemes. Showing analytically that the feedback-free scheme gives better performance for our system of interest, we extend it to multi-user broadcast case. To this end, we consider a number of different broadcast scenarios and optimize the system parameters such that the best overall performance is achieved. Furthermore, the complicated interplay of the mean throughputs and PDRs of different users with different packet erasure conditions is discussed. Finally, it is shown that the optimized feedback-free RLNC broadcast scheme works close enough to an idealistic RLNC scheme, where the complete and immediate knowledge about the reception status of all users is assumed to be available at the sender.
