Device for managing resources for a satellite telecommunication system
First Claim
1. A resource manager for a satellite telecommunication system including a plurality of user stations and at least one satellite, said resource manager including a congestion controller that assigns resources to downlinks, a demand assignment device that assigns resources to uplinks, and, for each satellite, a central entity that includes:
- a subsystem of said congestion controller adapted to;
receive requests sent by user stations of said satellite, each request expressing the bit rate necessary for a group of connections supported by a user station and by the same downlink of said satellite, anddetermine the bit rate authorized for said group of connections, anda subsystem of said demand assignment device adapted to allocate resources to an uplink, at each user station, as a function of said bit rates authorized by said subsystem of said congestion controller and globally for all connections supported by said user station.

Abstract
A satellite telecommunication system includes a plurality of user stations and at least one satellite. A resource manager for the satellite telecommunication system includes a congestion controller that assigns resources to uplinks, a demand assignment device that assigns resources to uplinks, and, for each satellite, a central entity that includes a subsystem of the congestion controller adapted to receive requests sent by user stations using the satellite, each request expressing the bit rate necessary for a group of connections supported by a user station and by the same downlink of the satellite, and to determine the bit rate authorized for the group of connections. It further includes, for each satellite, a subsystem of the demand assignment device adapted to allocate resources to an uplink, at each user station, as a function of the bit rates authorized by the congestion controller subsystem and globally for all connections supported by the user station.
