5 Layer TCP/IP Model Mobile Communication
Outline • Review Internet protocol stack • Internet vs. Delay Tolerant Networks • Lagrange point relays • Summary Mobile Communication
Assumptions in TCP/IP • Small propagation latencies • High data rates • Bidirectional, symmetric channels • Continuous connectivity A B Mobile Communication
Assumptions in DTN • Large propagation delays • Low data rates • Asymmetric channels • Intermittent connectivity Mobile Communication
Bundling Protocol • Place another layer between application and transport layer • Bundling protocol (CFDP) • Keeps all data and meta data needed to transmit a packet until receive ACK (store-and -forwarding) • Transmits data optimistically • Routing of packets should take advantage of scheduled outage • Uses new ARQ algorithms that can handle long delays Mobile Communication
Data Flow Example in DTN Mobile Communication
Outline • Review Internet protocol stack • Internet vs. Delay Tolerant Networks • Lagrange point relays • Summary Mobile Communication
Lagrange Point Relays Sun Earth Mobile Communication
Lagrange Point Relays • A Lagrange point is a solution to the restricted 3-body problem • a small object at a Lagrange point will remain stationary relative to two large, orbiting masses, assuming only gravitational effects • Placing a relay station at L4 and L5 will provide alternative signal paths when no line-of-sight Mobile Communication
Outline • Review Internet protocol stack • Internet vs. Delay Tolerant Networks • Lagrange point relays • Summary Mobile Communication
Summary • TCP/IP is not suitable for interplanetary communication • Large propagation delays, intermittent connectivity • Bundling protocol extends the network stack by providing asynchronous store-and-forwarding service • Lagrange point relays can alleviate LOS occlusions Mobile Communication
