Mobile Satellite Communication with Cross Layer Architecture

Cross-Layer Designs Architecture for LEO Satellite Ad Hoc Network

Future Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks are envisioned as distributed architectures of autonomous data processing nodes. Such ad hoc networks should deliver reliable communication channels for control commands and data among ground stations and satellites minimizing delay and power. The LEO satellite networks are different from the generic ad hoc scenario. In this paper, we first analyz...

Cross-layer protocols for satellite communication networks: part II

This issue presents the second of the two-part special topic series, ‘Cross-Layer Protocols for Satellite Communication Networks’. Cross-layer protocols for satellite networks is an emerging research area addressing the major issues of protocol design, analysis and optimization for efficient use of satellite resources and system deployment. The cross-layer design research is an interdisciplinar...

Cooperative Communication Mechanism and Architecture for Cross-layer Coordination

Mirror Routing for Satellite Networks With Cross-layer Optimization

Several strategies have been proposed for routing in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks. The multi-layered routing approaches are envisioned as promising because they use Middle Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite to extend the LEO satellite network’s communication capabilities. The previously proposed multi-layered routing approaches, however, still assume that the satellites in the same lay...

QoS-aware cross-layer communication for Mobile Web services with the WS-QoS framework

QoS issues will play an important role for the success of Web services. With the increasing number of mobile devices consuming Web services, specific QoS mechanisms are required for the efficient use of Web services. We introduce our Web service QoS framework that is designed for QoS-aware service specification, discovery, selection, and invocation of Web services. Applying the framework enable...
