InterPlanet Computer Network: Modelling Delay-tolerant Networking to Get Information from Different Planetary Regions of The Solar System.

EasyChair Preprint 5497

Abstract

The interplanet internet is a conceived computer network in space, consisting of a set of network nodes that can communicate with each other. These nodes are the planet’s orbiters (satellites) and landers (e.g. robots, autonomous machines, etc.) and the earth ground stations, and the data can be routed through Earth’s internal internet. In this paper, we propose an interplanetary internet design architecture to operate successfully and achieve good communication with other planets including the Earth. The architecture proposes network structure that addresses delays due to interplanet distances and proposes group of satellites orbiting a planet in a graph set-up to achieve delay tolerant network in a planetary system. In addition, the architecture proposes for tracking planetary resources with recurrent behavior, data replication with linkage analysis and use of Graph Algorithms to find connections/shortest path. As it is planetary based architecture outline, the test results show useful purpose of the design at a region level. However, we have not considered generalized suite of protocols to address variable delay and disconnected regions of the planetary system to achieve standard way of end-to-end communication through multiple regions.

Keyphrases: Delay Tolerant Network, InterPlanet Internet, Planetary Object Tracking, linkage analysis, recurrence networks
