Abstract:

Aimming at the characteristics of high bandwidth, long delay and high bit error ratio in satellite networks, a satellite network active queue management (AQM) algorithm based on prioity, which is integrated with control theory, is proposed. Firistly, based on the designing of the propertional-integral-derivative (PID) controller in control theory, a total probability of dropped messages is defined. Then, to differentiate between IN and OUT flows with different priorities, different probabilities of dropped messages are designed as well. Simulation results show that, compared with the case of flow with low priority, the proposed algorithm can effectively protect high priority flow by means of achieving a higher throughput with smaller jitter and low probability of dropped messages.
