Book Delay Tolerant Networking for Cubesat Topologies and Platforms

Download or read book Delay Tolerant Networking for Cubesat Topologies and Platforms written by Paul D. Muri and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CubeSat is a pico-satellite platform with a volume as small as 10cm3. Universities, companies, and governments use CubeSats to conduct space technology experiments, demonstrations, and research at lower manufacturing costs. Traditionally, CubeSats communicate over amateur frequencies using point-to-point links. This severely limits both the data rate and the time window to downlink to a single ground station. However, CubeSats, as part of a spaced-based sensor network, have the potential to augment existing systems through interlinking with other spacecraft and ground stations. Through lower orbits and strategic topologies, CubeSat networks can provide data with increased temporal and spatial resolution to supplement low earth orbit missions. In this dissertation, Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) communication protocols were designed to enable hop-by-hop store and forward communications between CubeSats. From analysis and testing, it was demonstrated that DTN protocols can be applied to address the limitations of CubeSat networks such as radio frequency link margins, topology management, intermittent connections, slow downlink data-rates, long propagation delays, and constrained processing resources. The major contributions of the dissertation are a deployable high gain S-band helical prototype network simulation of low earth orbits with optimized network timing parameters, a DTN network testbed with space link channel emulation, and an implementation of DTN on CubeSat hardware.

Book Delay Tolerant Setellite Networks

Download or read book Delay Tolerant Setellite Networks written by Juan A. Fraire, and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2017-12-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cutting-edge resource provides a comprehensive treatment of applying delay-tolerant networking (DTN) principles to satellite-based network communications. Detailed models and analytical tools are used to evaluate performance and provide guidance in the field. This book presents the state-of-the-art in existing on-board and ground technologies that support satellite applications, such as communications protocols, algorithms, and security procedures. Readers gain key insight into the fundamental concepts of DTN applied to satellite networks (DTSNs) and case studies are provided. This book presents an authoritative introduction to the methods for computing metrics for satellite network modeling. Satellite communications are examined, including satellite links, communication protocols, and distributed multiple access schemes, such as time division, code division, and frequency division. This book focuses on ways in which DTN might make terrestrial communication and observation via earth orbiting satellites less expensive and more robust. The fundamental concepts and analysis of the Ring Road Architecture are explored. Unique analyses on the motivating factors of using Inter-Satellite Links (ISL) to form networks in disruptive environments in space are discussed. This book explores the limits of larger and complex DTSNs as the number of satellites increase and different orbital formations become possible. As satellite networks become larger in upcoming years this book provides a guide for readers to stay informed about standard protocols such as DTN that will allow seamless interoperation, cost reduction, and risk mitigation.

Book Delay Tolerant Networks

Download or read book Delay Tolerant Networks written by Longxiang Gao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief presents emerging and promising communication methods for network reliability via delay tolerant networks (DTNs). Different from traditional networks, DTNs possess unique features, such as long latency and unstable network topology. As a result, DTNs can be widely applied to critical applications, such as space communications, disaster rescue, and battlefield communications. The brief provides a complete investigation of DTNs and their current applications, from an overview to the latest development in the area. The core issue of data forward in DTNs is tackled, including the importance of social characteristics, which is an essential feature if the mobile devices are used for human communication. Security and privacy issues in DTNs are discussed, and future work is also discussed.

Book QoS Over Heterogeneous Networks

Download or read book QoS Over Heterogeneous Networks written by Mario Marchese and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-04-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of quality of service (QoS) has risen with the recent evolution of telecommunication networks, which are characterised by a great heterogeneity. While many applications require a specific level of assurance from the network; communication networks are characterized by different service providers, transmission means and implementer solutions such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4), IPv6 and MPLS. Providing comprehensive coverage of QoS issues within heterogeneous network environments, “QoS Over Heterogeneous Networks” looks to find solutions to questions such as does QoS fit within heterogeneous networks and what is the impact on performance if information traverses different network portions that implement specific QoS schemes. Includes: A series of algorithms and protocols to help solve potential QoS problems. State of the art case studies and operative examples to illustrate points made. Information on QoS mapping in terms of service-level specification (SLS) and an in-depth discussion of related issues Chapters end-to-end (E2E) QoS, QoS architecture, QoS over heterogeneous networks and QoS internetworking and mapping. An ideal book for graduate students, researchers and lecturers. System designers, developers and engineers will also find “QoS Over Heterogeneous Networks” a valuable reference.
