Abstract

In this paper, we focus on dynamic random access (DRA) control approaches for machine-type multibeam 5G satellite communications. An important property of a DRA method is to be able to dynamically adapt random access parameters for prevailing backlog load (BLL) conditions. The access points cannot readily know the instantaneous BLL before the RA process is completed and need some simple indirect method to estimate it promptly. To this end we first present an enhancement to indirect BLL estimation that results in a more robust support for the burst traffic changes. Secondly, we evaluate the potential performance gain obtained from the dynamic random access control in a multibeam LEO satellite system that requires beam-level load estimation to work properly in the presence of handovers between moving satellite beams. The results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed DRA approach in multibeam satellite systems in terms of the random access success probability.
