Abstract
There is described a method for allocating bandwidth in a satellite communication system comprising a plurality of terminals, the method comprising: at each one of the plurality of terminals: sending a local terminal bandwidth request to a centralized bandwidth manager and to all other terminals of the plurality of terminals via a satellite; receiving a centralized bandwidth allocation for a first group of applications from the centralized bandwidth manager; receiving other terminal bandwidth requests from the other terminals, extracting requests for a second group of applications, and generating a decentralized bandwidth allocation according to a set of bandwidth allocation rules common to all of the plurality of terminals; and generating a global bandwidth allocation using the centralized bandwidth allocation and the decentralized bandwidth allocation.
