Integrating network stack and astronautical physics simulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Network simulator software tools are often used to model the behaviors and interactions of applications, protocols, packets, and data links in terrestrial communication networks. Other software tools that model the physics, orbital dynamics, and RF characteristics of space systems have matured to allow for rapid, detailed analysis of space communication links. However, the absence of a unified toolset that integrates the two modeling approaches has encumbered the systems engineers tasked with the design, architecture, and analysis of complex space communication networks and systems. This paper presents the unified approach and describes the motivation, challenges, and our solution – the customization of the network simulator to integrate with astronautical analysis software tools for highfidelity end-to-end simulation. Keywords— space; communication; systems; networking; simulation; modeling; QualNet; STK; integration; space networks
