Satellite networks offer an efficient alternative where no terrestrial networks are available,\nand can offer a cost effective means of transferring data. Numerous proposals\nhave addressed the problem of resource allocation in geostationary (GEO) satellites,\nand have been evaluated via various performance metrics related to user Quality of\nService (QoS). However, ensuring that on average the users� QoS requirements are satisfied\ndoes not guarantee the satisfaction of their individual Quality of Experience (QoE)\nrequirements, especially in the case of bursty video users. This paper proposes the use\nof video scene identification and classification for traffic modeling at the scene level in\norder to improve resource allocation and user QoE in GEO satellite networks. The proposed\ncall admission control and medium access control framework makes decisions\nbased on available bandwidth, long-term and short-term user satisfaction and the\nrevenue that the provider may gain.
