Abstract :
In order to take advantage of the full potential of formation flying satellite systems, intra-formation communications is a critical element. Using simulations, performance comparisons are made between IEEE 802.11 and wireless IEEE 1394. The asynchronous version of 1394 provides the best performance for the scenarios that were investigated.
