论文摘要
由于卫星制造和部署的前所未有的进步,创新的通信和网络技术,雄心勃勃的太空项目和计划以及对卫星网络的兴趣复兴,因此有必要重新定义太空网络(SPACENETS)以结合所有这些发展。本文介绍了未来的间距的愿景,该空间考虑了几个相关领域的进步。首先,我们提出了一个参考体系结构,该体系结构以整体方式捕获各种网络实体和终端。基于此,研究了空间,空气和地面用例。然后,研究了能够使所设想的空间的体系结构和技术。在这样做时,我们强调了不同标准化机构,卫星操作员和国家组织的活动和项目,向设想的太空工具。最后,讨论了从通信和网络角度来看的挑战,潜在的解决方案和开放问题。
Due to the unprecedented advances in satellite fabrication and deployment, innovative communications and networking technologies, ambitious space projects and programs, and the resurgence of interest in satellite networks, there is a need to redefine space networks (SpaceNets) to incorporate all of these evolutions. This paper introduces a vision for future SpaceNets that considers advances in several related domains. First, we present a reference architecture that captures the various network entities and terminals in a holistic manner. Based on this, space, air, and ground use cases are studied. Then, the architectures and technologies that enable the envisaged SpaceNets are investigated. In so doing, we highlight the activities and projects of different standardization bodies, satellite operators, and national organizations towards the envisioned SpaceNets. Finally, the challenges, potential solutions, and open issues from communications and networking perspectives are discussed.
