Space-terrestrial integrated mobility management via named data networking

Abstract

In Future Space-Terrestrial Integrated Networks (FSTINs), mobility is the norm rather than the exception, the current TCP/IP architecture is not competent. As a promising future network architecture, Named Data Networking (NDN) can support content consumer mobility naturally, but the content producer mobility support remains a challenging problem. Most previous research simply considered this problem in terrestrial scenarios, which involve stable infrastructures to achieve node mobility management. In this paper, we consider the problem in an FSTIN scenario without special handover management infrastructures. Specifically, we propose a tracing-based producer mobility management scheme and an addressing-assisted forwarding method via NDN architecture. We formally describe Multi-Layered Satellite Networks via a Time Varying Graph model and define the foremost path calculating problem to calculate the route of space segment, as well as an algorithm that can function in both dense (connected) and sparse (delay/disruption tolerant) scenarios. Finally, we discuss the acceleration method that can improve the Space-Terrestrial Integrated forwarding efficiency. Performance evaluation demonstrates that the proposed scheme can support fast handover and efficient forwarding in the FSTIN scenario.

The concept, technical architecture, applications and impacts of satellite internet: A systematic literature review

“…The increase in the number of space nodes equipped with powerful communication links makes efficient space-terrestrial integrated communication possible [ 32 ]. In recent years, an increasing number of scholars have proposed the concept of space–terrestrial integrated networks (STINs) [ 33 ], which manifest as space networks responsible for global coverage, while terrestrial networks undertake most management and control functions.…”

Mathematical Models for Named Data Networking Producer Mobility Techniques: A Review

“…Another motivation relates to the need for a more extensive investigation of NDN producer mobility, which includes many approaches and considerations. Researchers, including Liu et al [21] and Torres et al [22], have examined concerns regarding cache handover and scalability solutions. Alternatively, the work by Saxena et al [23], Shuja et al [9], and Deebak et al [24] solely focus on caching and scalability.…”

Optimal Broadcast Strategy-Based Producer Mobility Support Scheme for Named Data Networking

“…Among the Information-Centric Networking (ICN) approaches, Named Data Networking is the most recent approach; infrastructures less network architecture that provides network scalability due to its nature of hierarchical naming [7] [39]. NDN is hope and promising architecture for the future Internet that has been used and applied in the differentfields, such as Space-Terrestrial Integrated Network [8]WSN, Vehicular Network [9], [10] and real-time application [11]. By default, ICN approaches designed to support mobility, however, many challenges arose in some approaches like NDN in support of content mobility [12]- [15].…”
