Abstract
This paper compares analytical and simulative approaches for investigation of mobile satellite systems (MSS). Main parameters for calculation of the capacity i.e. new call and handover blocking probabilities of MSSs have been identified. These parameters have been determined analytically and, where possible, by simulation. The differences in the results obtained by analysis and simulation methods have been determined and their cause clarified using different simulators. Some of the simulators reflected the real system characteristics better than the others which neglected some features in the same way that the analytical modeling would by necessity. The results show that the main differences are due to neglecting real geometrical shape of the cells and because of the edge effect. Approximations made for analysis purposes of the channel holding time (CHT) and handover arrival distributions are shown to have less impact on the results.
