ACCESS REQUEST IN A SATELLITE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Data packet communications are provided in a satellite communication system (10) between a remote application site (201) and a host application site (203, 213). Data packets originating at a remote application site or a host application site are transmitted via the satellite communication system by using a variety of techniques based upon adding a data packet to a signaling message normally used for call establishment. Alternatively, data packets originating at a remote application site or a host application site are transmitted via the satellite communication system using a variety of techniques based upon establishing a transmission path with fewer steps than are required for call establishment.
