摘要: |
The expanding presence in space will place an in- creased dependency on networked communications – a scalable communications infrastructure; that is, the Solar System Internet (SSI). Upcoming developments towards a SSI include NASA’s upcoming LunaNet, or lunar Internet, which provides multi-hop multi-path communications using Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN). DTN has been an active area of research and development, particularly in routing, security, and optimization. DTNs are marked by mobility, disconnection, and a wide variance of latencies (propagation and processing delays). In this paper, we outline progress towards a theory of time synchronization across such a network. |
