Resilient IP Distribution Techniques for SmallSat and Hybrid Space–Ground Architectures
SmallSat missions frequently rely on space–ground communication paths that are asymmetric, multicast-oriented, intermittently available, or intentionally unidirectional. Many SmallSat and LEO architectures operate under tighter power, antenna size, and link-budget constraints than traditional GEO systems, and may rely on shorter contact windows, which can contribute to lower signal-to-noise ratios, burst packet loss, and limited or…
