The node model of the traffic distribution for perspective satellite communications networks

Perspective technologies of satellite communication networks suggest reducing the effect of these limitations by using broadband RF bands, transfer switching and routing functions to space, widespread use of inter-satellite links and others. The investigated satellite network consist of several systems with wireless inter-satellite channels. In this case, network structure is dynamically changing and the traffic distribution analysis becomes much more complicated. Moreover, process-structure interaction is necessary to taking into account if network has a dynamically changing topology but classical methods such as queueing theory or graph theory do not con- sider a process-structure interaction.

In this work, we presented the model of the traffic distribution for a perspective satellite network with inter-satellite channels. The base of model is the node tensor model that is allow taking to account process-structure interaction. This approach let determine the traffic distribution in the network with regard of its topology. Also in this work, the model of satellite network is presented. The re- sults demonstrates the possibilities of applying of node tensor models for modelling of traffic distribution in satellite network.
