The objectives of this WI is the design of an end-to-end functional system architecture for an integrated satellite-terrestrial network based on ICN/PSI (Information-Centric Networking/Publish-Subscribe Internet) to support the delivery of M2M/IoT services, investigation of the impact of M2M/IoT traffic on multiple access schemes, test-bed validation of ICN/PSI architectures over enhanced satellite multiple access schemes, and optimization of critical network functions of ICN/PSI architectures over enhanced satellite multiple access schemes.
The investigations will consider various M2M/IoT scenarios where integrated terrestrial-satellite networks offer a significant advantage. The investigations will assess the performance in terms of the reliability, scalability, and signaling overhead, identifying their corresponding tradeoffs and the impact of M2M/IoT traffic characteristics.
Partners: AUEB (leader), TeSA and CFR.
