This paper presents numerical results for ATM cell transmission over a DS-CDMA satellite link obtained by mathematical analysis. We show that an increase in capacity can be achieved by using discontinuous transmission detection (DTX) for all ON-OFF sources, thus exploiting the burstiness of A TM traffic. Three scenarios are analysed depending on whether the code is allocated to a user or to a single virtual connection (VC), and whether the transmission rate for different connections is the same

Initial results show how different transmission rates and loads affect the system performance. Keywords A TM, DS-CDMA capacity, traffic analysis, A TM over satellite Broadband Communications P.
