“…In remote environmental monitoring applications via satellite systems, a typical problem is the low data rate supported by the satellite link, e.g., the widely used Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network portable terminals allow uplink bit rates of 4.5 to 492 kb/s [13]. For example, in MONET project [10], the aggregate data rate generated by network nodes can exceed this maximum rate of 492 kb/s, where nodes send data and images of 1-Mb average size and set up visioconference sessions of 256 kb/s periodically.…”

Abstract-Data collection is a fundamental task of wireless sensor networks to support a variety of applications, such as remote monitoring, and emergency response, where collected information is relayed to an infrastructure network via packet gateways for processing and decision making. In large-scale monitoring scenarios, data packets need to be relayed over multihop paths to the gateways, and sensors are often randomly deployed, causing local node density differences. As a result, imbalance in data traffic load on the gateways is likely to occur. Furthermore, due to dynamic network conditions and differences in sensor data generation rates, congestion on some data paths is also often experienced. Numerous studies have focused on the problem of in-network traffic load balancing, whereas a few works have aimed at equalizing the loads on gateways. However, there is a potential tradeoff between these two problems. In this paper, the dual objective of gateway and in-network load balancing is addressed, and the reactive and adaptive load-balancing (RALB) algorithm is presented. RALB is proposed as a generic solution for multihop networks and mesh topologies, particularly in large-scale remote monitoring scenarios, to balance traffic loads.

“…In modern satellite based networks, such as satellite sensor networks [1], satellite-LTE networks [2] or satellite WiMax networks [3], resource allocation may play an important role that needs to be thoroughly evaluated. Coherently with the state of the art in the field (see [4], [5], [6], [7] and [8] among the others), in this paper the scenario considered is composed by Earth Stations, also called entities in the following, that receive different traffic flow connections and forward them through a common satellite channel to a geostationary satellite.…”

The paper deals with the classical problem of the resource allocation in geostationary satellite scenarios where fading may negatively impact the communications. In more detail, we consider the case in which different performance metrics, such as Packet Loss and Power, are simultaneously taken into account. Starting from the wide literature in the field, this work tries to categorize the available and wellknown resource allocation approaches into three groups: i) the capacity maximization with constrained power group, ii) the power minimization with constrained capacity group and iii) the multi-objective programming group. For each group a general mathematical formulation has been proposed and the main differences among the groups have been highlighted. The performance of the three listed groups are compared through simulations where two Earth Stations, afflicted by different fading conditions, have been considered. The comparison takes into account all the mentioned metrics (i.e., loss and power) and the computational complexity of the allocation approaches.

Abstract. Employing cluster flying satellites to carry out complicated space tasks is an important method in aerospace applications, and a reliable, efficient communication system is quite essential for cluster flying satellites to work collaboratively. In consideration of that, this paper proposes a lightweight TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) self-organized networking scheme, designs networking protocols and implements the software on a radio SoC (System on Chip). Moreover, the networking performance is tested on the ground and an on-orbit experiment is carried out on Tiantuo-3 cluster flying satellites. The result of this paper can be a valuable reference for SSON research and design.
