Abstract
In a satellite Disruption-Tolerant Network (DTN), bundle delivery is obviously affected by time-varying parameters, i.e. bit error ratio and propagation latency, due to constantly changing distance and connectivity between consecutive orbital nodes. In this paper, we proposed a Markov decision based optimization approach for bundle size, which could efficiently improve the expected time of delivery over a dynamic two-hop Inter-Satellite Link (ISL). In particular, a sequence of optimal bundle sizes are adaptively selected according to distance-dependent current channel parameters, which could make full utilization on intermediate node’s memory. The simulation results verified the proposed method with different conditions with comparison.
