It analyzes the system's performance to meet the real-time communications constraints with a full satellite constellation. Computer simulation results are the sources to evaluate delays associated with packets transmitted from source to destination earth stations. The simulation isrun at low, medium and high loading levels with two different, uniform and non- uniform, traffic distributions. The evaluated results are end-to-end packet delays and packet rejection rate. The results show that the TELEDESIC satellite system network is capable of meeting the real-time communication requirements with delay values much smaller than 400 ms.
