Abstract
To adapt the development of global communication and the rapid upgradation of communication technology(e.g. 4G to 5G), the space-based network (SBN) is regarded as a very important networking architecture to improve the efficiency of data communication. However, with the increasing need of bandwidth, the SBN faces many open challenges: 1) high update or deployment cost and complex implementations; 2) low robustness or resilience against the dynamic network structure changes. In this work, we first incorporate the SDN (Software Defined Network) architecture into the SBN to ensure the feasible implementation by separating the control panel and the data panel. Secondly, we present a new multi-path routing (MPR) to adapt the fast network structure change and enhance the network resilience. Finally, we compose extensive experiments on both random networks and scale-free networks to verify the effectiveness of our MPR mechanism which has potential applications in the future deployment of SBN.
