Hypergraph Based Network Model and Architechture for Deep Space Exploration

Abstract

Deep space communication plays a key role in deep space exploration, it has some special requirments in deep space environment, in this paper, we focus on the network model and architecture for deep space exploration. Because the multiple access technique was widely used in deep space exploration communication, a scenario of deep space exploration come up in this paper, then a network model was proposed which based on hyperpraph theory to address the problem of connectivity, frequency spectrum resource scarcity, mutual interference etc., and how to construct a hyperedge was described in detail. Taking into account the specificity of deep space, combined with the concept of DTN, a novel network architecture was proposed which applies to the deep space exploration.
