Abstract :
Wireless sensor networks offer unique opportunities for applications in the human and natural environments. In this paper, the types of application, which utilize satellites, are explored. Also, a proportional differentiation model is proposed in order to provide the quality of service over satellite networks. We implement and evaluate a new dropper, called satellite proportional dropper, to successfully apply this model on satellite links.
