Sponsored by DISA, the SHF-DAMA Standard addresses the warfighter's requirements for flexible, reliable, and efficient (technically and fiscally) satellite communications. The Standard proposes a system supporting both packet data transfer and single-channel-per-carrier voice and data circuits assigned on a demand basis. The Standard does not address management of the DSCS 3 transponder's bandwidth and power resources among priority classes of users. This effort characterizes the SHF-DAMA system's performance over each combination of the following resource management algorithm features: (1) preemption enabled and disabled; (2) using the Standard-specified collision resolution technique and a binary exponential backoff; (3) using complete partitioning, complete …
