The interplanetary Internet

The many paths a message can take through the Internet make that network robust and efficient - and the envy of those whose job it is to design communications schemes for the far-flung spacecraft leaving Earth each year. After more than a decade of ...

Future space exploration demands a space network that will be able to connect spacecrafts with one another and in turn with Earth's terrestrial Internet and hence efficiently transfer data back and forth. The feasibility of this technology would enable ...

End-to-End transport protocols can not provide satisfying communication service in interplanetary backbone networks because of the long propagation delay and high BERs characteristics. This paper proposed a renovation protocol based on hop-by-hop ...
