DTN Gateway Architecture for Partially Disconnected Telemetry Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Telemetry networks often operate in challenged wireless environments, resulting in periods of disconnection. Our delay tolerant networking (DTN) gateway dynamically detects disruptions in connectivity and buffers telemetry data until connectivity is reestablished. When the connection is resumed, all buffered data is transmitted automatically in order to backfill any gaps in the telemetry stream. A DTN gateway may operate as a standalone device with multiple DTN client applications, or as a network of mobile DTN gateways which will perform multi-hop ad-hoc routing to deliver telemetry data across the telemetry network system (TmNS). Our DTN gateway also provides conventional IP routing and forwarding capabilities, including support for standard dynamic routing protocols, eliminating the need for a stand-alone IP router on the test article (TA). This paper presents the system architecture of our DTN gateway, along with several deployment scenarios for telemetry environments.

Delay Tolerant Networking for Sensor Networks
The Delay Tolerant Networking Architecture (DTN) has been proposed for use in challenged networks that suffer from intermittent connectivity or high delay. The DTN architecture and the bundle protocol presents a standard method to interconnect heterogeneous challenged networks using asynchronous message switching. It provides a framework for dynamic routing, contact scheduling, naming, reliabil...

At present, Internet is based on the availability of a continuous path from the source to the sink node and on limited delays. These assumptions do not hold in “challenged networks”, which comprise a wide variety of different environments, from sensor networks to space communications (including satellite systems). These networks are the preferred target of Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (...
متن کاملAccess Control Framework for Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks
The emergence of DTN as an option for sustaining communication in environments with high delay/frequent disruption have rendered existing access control mechanisms inappropriate hence the need for a new concept in DTN access control. This is primarily due to contradicting assumptions like low delay and constant connectivity on which the existing mechanisms are built. This paper discusses the se...

DTN is a relatively new research field and many applications have been identified for it. It is an overlay network working over heterogeneous networks in challenged environments where the links are less reliable and the delays are expected to be very long. Due to the difficult working conditions of DTN, all types of available links are utilized to ensure better delivery of messages including th...
