A queue theory in the cross-polarization of antenna in satellite communication

Abstract

Satellite communication is a telecommunications technique that uses satellites as a connecting component, for example VSAT. In antenna installation, there is an important process which is called the cross-polarization. Cross-polarization is one process that cannot be released inside installation of VSAT antennas for satellite communication. Sometimes, in this process, a user queue will occur. Queuing theory explain the process is done and also calculate the other factors that are in the process. By knowing queuing theory to the cross-polarization, it will be easy to know the efficiency of queuing theory in the cross-polarization. Based on the characteristics of the cross-polarization, user can be known the queuing model that used and performance of the queuing system. The queuing model for the cross-polarization, using Kendall notation, M/M/1. Based on the analysis that has been done; by using 1 server the value of service level (ρ) is 0.67, using 2 servers = 0.33 and 3 servers = 0.22. The waiting time in the queue is longer if using 1 server which is 0.67 hours or 40 minutes. If a satellite operator uses 2 servers, waiting time in the queue is 25 minutes and 3 servers is 2.8 minutes which means that there is almost no waiting time in the queue.
