Satellite IoT services Using Multichord Peer to Peer Networking

Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a fundamental component of future networks and is expected to be the underlying infrastructure of mobile and ubiquitous applications. However, IoT networks are highly dynamic environments and challenges arise for developing scalable, self-organizing and self-configuring topologies. In this paper, we focus on the problem of discovering, connecting and organizing IoT devices that facilitate mechanisms to collect, aggregate, filter, process, store and retrieve data. In particular, we propose a novel peer to peer multichord-based protocol for IoT over LEO satellite networks. We show that our proposal provides the capability of data storage, lookup and retrieval in a timely manner. Preliminary simulation results show that multichord IoT satellite networks can provide the required high-speed connectivity with low latency and high robustness to failure.
