Abstract

This paper describes key optimization techniques, which are aimed at extending the terrestrial wireless network to space to satisfy the communication needs of autonomous distributed multi-spacecraft constellations. The IEEE 802.11 inter-frame re-definitions for increased range are addressed. Antenna null steering and direction of arrival algorithms for interference minimization and throughput maximization are discussed
