- Abstract
Ad hoc Satellite Communication Networks (ASCN) is a new type of satellite communication network. It is different from traditional satellite communication networks, such as GEO communication system and LEO satellite networks. It has huge potential application in Near-Earth and Interplanetary Communication (NEIC). 1. In our paper, we will focus our attention on following aspect: 2. ASCN's unique features. 3. How can ASCN be proper for NEIC? How to apply it in NASA's Interplanetary Internet plan? Technical challenges that we have to face, especially in routing protocol design and capability study aspect. Through comparison and analyzing, we reach our result: ASCN is very suitable for NEIC, it enlarge the far-reaching interplanetary span and reliability of space communication. We will also give some routing choice and capability estimate. Studies on ASCN have just begun, we make use of some (but rare) reference material. Based on these up to date material, we study further and reach our own results, which have not presented at a previous meeting.
