“…In maritime networks, establishing stable communication links is a significant challenge due to the constantly changing sea surface, which increases the risk of link fragility caused by sea waves. Therefore, finding a stable route is crucial to ensure network stability and minimize delays [58,59]. Recently, SDN has emerged as a solution to reduce the complexity of network management tasks [60][61][62].…”

The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) has opened up exciting possibilities for new applications. One such novel application is the modernization of maritime communications. Effective maritime communication is vital for ensuring the safety of crew members, vessels, and cargo. The maritime industry is responsible for the transportation of a significant portion of global trade, and as such, the efficient and secure transfer of information is essential to maintain the flow of goods and services. With the increasing complexity of maritime operations, technological advancements such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and the Internet of Ships (IoS) have been introduced to enhance communication and operational efficiency. However, these technologies also bring new challenges in terms of security and network management. Compromised IT systems, with escalated privileges, can potentially enable easy and ready access to operational technology (OT) systems and networks with the same privileges, with an increased risk of zero-day attacks. In this paper, we first provide a review of the current state and modalities of maritime communications. We then review the current adoption of Software-Defined Radios (SDRs) and Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) in the maritime industry and evaluate their impact, as IoT enablers, on the future of maritime industry operations, safety, and security.

“…The sharing and load balancing of multiple SATCOM links in maritime networks, as well as the ability to overcome bandwidth constraints, are also challenges faced by SATCOMs in maritime networks. To solve these problems, each ship can be considered to be an SDN switch, and their management will be handled by a remote SDN controller [59].…”

“…At the same time, application of SDN based satellite networks have already been investigated. For example, Nazari et al analysis an SDN framework to a fleet of naval ships that relies on constellations for onboard communication [47]. They solve the sharing and load balancing problems in satellite links by leveraging multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP).…”

Convergence of Satellite and Terrestrial Networks: A Comprehensive Survey

et al. 2020

The explosive growth of various services boosts the innovation and development in terrestrial communication systems for the implementation of the next generation mobile communication networks. However, simply utilizing limited resources in terrestrial communication networks is difficult to support the massive quality of service (QoS) aware requirements and it is hard to guarantee seamless coverage in far remote regions. Leveraging the intrinsic merits of high altitude and the ability of multicasting or broadcasting, satellite communication systems provide an opportunity for novel mobile communication networks with its tight interaction and complementary characteristics to traditional terrestrial networks. It is believed that the convergence of satellite and terrestrial networks can solve the problems existing in current mobile communication systems and make a profound effect on global information dissemination. In this paper, we make a comprehensive survey on the convergence of satellite and terrestrial networks. First, motivations and requirements of satellite-terrestrial network convergence are identified. Then, we summarize related architectures of existing literature, classify the taxonomy of researches on satellite-terrestrial networks, and present the performance evaluation works in different satellite-terrestrial networks. After that, the state-ofthe-art of standardization, projects and the key application areas of satellite-terrestrial networks are also reviewed. Finally, we conclude the survey by highlighting the open issues and future directions.

“…As in the previous subsection, the majority of articles with research contribution related to control systems have a scope that is targeted towards monitoring and control. Nazari et al [45] proposed an SDN framework for a fleet of ships that relies on multiple satellite communication systems for on-board communications. The SDN framework addresses practical issues in current naval networks, such as sharing and load balancing of multiple communication links, as well as overcoming constraints related to bandwidth limitations.…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an evolving network architecture paradigm that focuses on the separation of control and data planes. SDN receives increasing attention both from academia and industry, across a multitude of application domains. In this article, we examine the current state of obtained knowledge on military SDN by conducting a systematic literature review (SLR). Through this work, we seek to evaluate the current state of the art in terms of research tracks, publications, methods, trends, and most active research areas. Accordingly, we utilize these findings for consolidating the areas of past and current research on the examined application domain, and propose directions for future research.
