N2  - In some recent studies, the use of low earth orbit satellite systems in various  applications is considered. However, uniform distribution of traffic load is assumed in most of  these studies.  In this thesis, an analytical framework to study the nonuniformity in geographical  distribution of the traffic load in low earth orbit satellite communication systems is presented.  The teletraffic performances of the systems are estimated in terms of blocking, handover  failure and noncompleted call probabilities. The system handover models are used with three  different schemes for handover traffic. According to the numerical results, it is shown that the  traffic nonuniformity gives significant effects to the characteristics of the system by decreasing  the service quality.  The performance study mainly focused on the IRIDIUM system, and examined all  major critical aspects related to the nonuniform distributions. Moreover, the effects of  prioritization handover schemes are also shown in this study
