Abstract: A collection of methods, which when combined together provide suitable bandwidth resources for real-time content exchange over a satellite-based network, wherein the network employs a reservation-based access scheme, such as but not limited to DVB-RCS. Furthermore, the methods provide suitable bandwidth wherein transmission conditions deteriorate while real-time content is being exchanged and the already allocated resources can no longer be used.

Abstract: In a satellite communication system, comprising a hub, a satellite and plurality of remote terminals (e.g., VSATs), a method for allocating timeslots over a return channel to VSATs in real time, without a reference to a predefined time-frequency map, for at least the purpose of optimizing return channel utilization. Also presented are a method for dividing a return channel to transmission channels in real time, a method for determining a most suitable timeslot type for a VSAT per allocation period and a tiling algorithm for mapping allocated capacity onto return channel bandwidth.
