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, satellites’ movements and delay requirements on data acquisition and delivery process, we extend the traditional time-expanded graph to model the data acquisition and energy managements. Based on this graph model, we formula...Show More
Contact plan design (CPD) aims to schedule conflicting forthcoming communication opportunities (i.e., contacts). In CPD, the capacity of established contacts is indeed time-varying. Neglecting such variations in contact capacity inevitably leads to system performance deterioration. In this letter, we develop a new dynamic CPD algorithm while considering the time-varying property of contacts in bro...Show More
By integrating software defined network and network function virtualization, software defined satellite networks (SDSNs) can enable flexible virtual network function (VNF) deployment to process and forward end-to-end traffic flows. Since one traffic flow has to go through all its required VNFs, the VNF deployment has a significant impact on traffic routing. In this regard, with time-varying networ...Show More
System modeling and performance analysis are nontrivial issues in satellite networks. Mainstream methods model the acquire-store-forward process of traffic as a queuing process, where the transmitter and buffer work as the server and queue, respectively. However, the intermittent connectivity of satellite links hampers the direct employment of traditional vacation policies, because the inactive pe...Show More
In this paper, we investigate the capacity of two- layered satellite networks. Particularly, we propose a unified mathematical framework to formulate the relationship between network capacity and architectural parameters. Then we study the capacity of three typical scenarios. The analytical solutions show that the capacity of individual layer increases linearly with the link bandwidth of that laye...Show More
The slow antenna slewing rate on data relay satellites is a main performance bottleneck for space networks. This letter investigates the antenna slewing time aware schedule problem aiming at maximizing the number of successful delivered missions. Particularly, we extend the traditional time-expanded graph into a new model, with which the impact of antenna slewing time on the serving sequence of an...Show More
In energy-constrained Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, in order to prolong the network lifetime, more traffic should be carried by the satellites with high battery level, which, in turn, may result in congestion in such satellites. To strike a balance, we study the multi-path routing problem which aims at Maximizing network Lifetime while maintaining a Guaranteed network Congestion ...Show More
This paper proposes a deep learning (DL) resource allocation framework to achieve the harmonious coexistence between the transceiver pairs (TPs) and the Wi-Fi users in LTE-U networks. The noncon- vex resource allocation is considered as a constrained learning problem and the deep neural network (DNN) is employed to approximate the optimal resource allocation decisions through unsupervised manner. ...Show More

Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) is a new physical layer technique which enables the receiver to either partially cancel the interfering signals or receive more than one desired signal at a time. By fully exploring the potential advantages of SIC, we develop an SIC Aware Routing protocol, referred to as SAR, aiming at enhancing the overall end-to-end throughput. An SICable condition is d...Show More
Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) is a potentially powerful technique for improving the performance of multi-hop wireless networks, owing to its ability to enable concurrent receptions from multiple transmitters as well as interference rejection.

Scalability is a key factor in designing routing protocols for large-scale extended wireless sensor networks. The bottleneck problem of scalability is how to cut down the average path length with tolerable overhead. In this paper, a scalable routing protocol for large-scale wireless sensor networks, referred to as SRCR (Scalable Random Cooperation Routing protocol), is proposed based on the small ...Show More
Traditional satellite networks are generally locked down to a specific space mission, with isolated substrate infrastructure as well as network resources. This forbids dynamic resource sharing among different networks, and thus leads to resource under utilization, poor service provisioning and unacceptable expenditure. In this regard, it is crucial to embrace emerging technologies such as software...Show More
Small satellite networks (SSNs) are playing an increasing role in nowadays earth observation due to their less development cost and energy consumption. In SSNs, it is pivotal to transmit a huge amount of data for differentiated missions to ground stations. Nevertheless, due to limited transponders and energy budget, not all contacts, i.e., potential available communication links, are feasible in d...Show More
Space information network (SIN) is a promising networking architecture to significantly broaden the observation area and realize continuous information acquisition for earth observation.

Mission scheduling algorithms are envisioned as critical to satisfy the increasing mission requirements in broadband data relay satellite networks, which is severely influenced by time-varying inter-satellite contacts (i.e., potential available communication links) and differentiated satellite downlink contacts. Nevertheless, the intertwined effect of such two types of contacts on mission schedule...Show More
Small satellite networks (SSNs) have attracted intensive research interest recently and have been regarded as an emerging architecture to accommodate the ever-increasing space data transmission demand. However, the limited number of on-board transceivers restricts the number of feasible contacts (i.e., an opportunity to transmit data over a communication link), which can be established concurrentl...Show More
Space information networks (SINs) have been designed to achieve agile acquisition, transmission, and processing of space information. Compared to traditional terrestrial communication networks comprised of mobile users and fixed resources, SINs are characterized by resource mobility, specifically in terms of resource migration, interchange, and aggregation. The resource mobility of SIN provides op...Show More
Through the allocation of multi-antenna time blocks to spacecrafts, the data relay satellite network (DRSN) is capable of providing data relay within their visible intervals (i.e., time windows). During the relay process, the generated hybrid tasks incorporate common tasks, emergency tasks, and temporary tasks. However, higher priority unpredicted tasks (i.e., emergency tasks and temporary tasks) ...Show More
