Service oriented cooperation architecture for distributed satellite networks

A distributed satellite network (DSN) is a cluster of independent satellite that networking wirelessly to response user demands. This new paradigm of space system poses several challenges in both design and implementation because the resources are distributed among the network with unstable topology and communication links. In this paper, we propose the cooperation architecture for DSN to realize distributed resource management and satellite cooperation. Furthermore, an efficient information exchange framework is proposed for satellite payloads that is encapsulated using SOA to collaborate with each other.
