DTN-Based Nanosatellite Architecture and Hot Spot Selection Algorithm for Remote Areas Connection.

To extend the network coverage to rural and remote areas, there are different solutions with their advantages and disadvantages. We propose to use a nanosatellite network and to exploit the ability to cope with large delays and disruptions provided by the delay- and disruption-tolerant networking (DTN) paradigm. The connection from remote areas is managed through ground stations called cold spots ...
