Relaying Networks for Deep Space Communications: Rényi Entropy-based Hypergraph Model and Architecture

In this paper, we explore the issue of network infrastructure and architecture in Deep Space Communication Networks (DSCNs). Firstly, we present a typical structural sample infrastructure of our vision of DSCNs by separating the whole network into three major parts. We then use hypergraph theory and Rényi entropy paradigm to formulate Relaying Networks for Deep Space Communications (RNDSC) as a Rényi entropy-based hypergraph model. Finally, we put forward a novel architecture framework including Layered Protocol Stack and Soft Module Suite for DSCNs, which is also applicable to the RNDSC.
