EntangleNetSat: A Satellite-Based Entanglement Resupply Network

Jointly power and bandwidth allocation for a heterogeneous satellite network

Due to lack of resources such as transmission power and bandwidth in satellite systems, resource allocation problem is a very important challenge. Nowadays, new heterogeneous network includes one or more satellites besides terrestrial infrastructure, so that it is considered that each satellite has multi-beam to increase capacity. This type of structure is suitable for a new generation of commu...

1 Satellite - Umts Ip - Based Network ( Satin )

The EU-IST IP based satellite project, SATIN is presented in this paper. Role of satellite in 3G mobile communications systems is discussed based on success and failure of the first (1G) and second (2G) generation satellite systems. The significant of the SATIN project in terms of present and future market and technology trend is stressed. Objectives and the technical approaches of the project ...

Design of IP-based Routing in a LEO Satellite Network

A Component-Based Active Network System for Satellite Platforms

Active networks are networks that can be reprogrammed by injecting customized programs into some of the nodes of the network, which change the computation that is performed on packets flowing through them. Active networks have been successfully used to offer adaptable routing mechanisms in disaster scenarios, to dynamically compress data before transmitting, etc. In this paper, we discuss the a...

Architecture of a Satellite-Based Sensor Network for Environmental Observation

Sensor webs are a promising technology for future earth science research because of its capability of adaptive observation from a network of in-situ and remote sensors. As important components of sensor webs, in-situ sensor networks have attracted strong attention in recent years. In-situ sensors observe the phenomena being investigated at close proximity, and can be used to calibrate remote se...
