Presents an object-oriented simulation model that can be used to evaluate the performance of MAC (multiple access) protocols. It is intended for satellite communication networks in which the propagation delay plays a major role on the performance of the communication channel. The model has been used to evaluate the performance of MAC protocols for NASA's Mars Regional Network in the Martian environment with some specific requirements. These requirements include protocol robustness, stringent use of power and buffer memory, channel stability and low complexity of the control algorithm. The simulation model can accommodate different classes of MAC protocols, including fixed assignments, demand assignments, random access, hybrid random access and adaptive protocols. While the simulation model has been developed to evaluate the MAC protocols for the Martian environment, it is intended to accommodate other MAC protocols with different requirements.
