Abstract: A handoff scheme is introduced in this paper, which considers the dynamic thresholds and preemptive priority level in intergrated voice and data LEO(Low Earth Orbit) satellite systems. Taking into account the characteristic of data calls and the higher priority of handoff voice calls, this scheme gives handoff voice calls a preemptive priority with combination of queuing strategy. A Guard Channel scheme based on dynamic thresholds is used in the scheme. It guarantees the priority and fairness between new calls and handoff calls. By simulation, it can be seen through comparison with the non-priority and guard channel handoff scheme that the proposed handoff scheme improves the performance of system in grade of service and channel utilization.
