In this letter, we propose an analytical framework for resource-limited small satellite
networks. To handle the challenges raised by the intertwined impacts of energy budgets …

In this paper, we investigate the maximum flow routing strategy with the service function
chain (SFC) constraints in the space information networks (SINs), where a SFC consists of a …

Abstract Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs)(eg, Internet, satellite networks, sensor networks, ad
hoc networks) have attracted considerable attentions in both academia and industry. As a …

When optimizing communication patterns in wireless networks, routing and link scheduling
cannot be handled separately but must be addressed jointly. Various linear programming …

Small satellites networks are characterized by intermittent connectivity and rare
communication opportunities between satellites and ground stations. To overcome this …

Tradeoffs between the packet delivery delay and various types of packet transportation cost
are a recurring theme in Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs). In this work we study such …

Space information network (SIN) is an innovative networking architecture to achieve near-
real-time mass data observation, processing and transmission over the globe. In the SIN …

The fifth-generation network (5G) has made great progress. With the continuous
development of communication technology, by analyzing the characteristics of 5G scenarios …

With the miniaturization of satellites a fundamental change took place in the space industry.
Instead of single big monolithic satellites nowadays more and more systems are envisaged …
