An IP-ERN architecture to enable hybrid E2E/ERN protocol and application to satellite networking [PDF]
We propose an architecture based on a hybrid E2E-ERN approach allowing ERN protocols to be inter-operable with current IP-based networks. Without introducing complex operations, the resulting E2E-ERN protocol provides inter and intra protocol fairness ...

Analytical design and performance analysis of LEO mega chain satellite constellation
With the development of microsatellite technology and the growth of ground reconnaissance demand, the rapid design of a LEO constellation with minimum satellite number, low revisit time (within 10 minutes), and permanent inter-satellite links has become ...

"Internet from Space" without Inter-satellite Links
Buoyed by advances in space technology, several firms are planning satellite constellations to offer broadband Internet service. While these developments are happening quickly, there are also many uncertainties about the design of these networks. A key open question is whether or not they will incorporate direct connectivity between satellites, instead

Reduction of the Response Time of Earth Observation Satellite Constellations using Inter-satellite Links [PDF]
Data quality of Earth observation satellites is often evaluated in terms of short system response time and information age. Acceptable response time and information age can be achieved only by satellite constellations in LEO as they allow observations ...
