Optimising Internet Access over Satellite Backhaul

چکیده
Application level protocols such as the Hypertext Transfer protocol (HTTP) and transport layer protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) have performance issues on wired networks. These issues are greatly magnified by the particular conditions of satellite systems. For example, a user experiences long delays e.g. during web browsing, due to the impact that the latency of the satellite link has on HTTP and TCP. In this paper we present the system architecture of the BAChaul OPTimization (BACOPT) project. The main contribution of the BACOPT research is a new splitproxy architecture for data optimisation over resource-constrained backhaul links. The BACOPT architecture is designed to optimise application level protocols such as HTTP and to manage the transport layer while realising target QoS requirements.

High-speed backhaul networks: Myth or reality?
Wireless technology promises a realization of the long-standing vision of ubiquitous high-speed Internet access. WiFi-based wireless mesh networks that provide user access and wireless data transport over a multi-hop backhaul network are a promising incarnation of the above vision. However, while WiFi is successfully used to provide user connectivity via access points, we note that currently de...

This paper discusses the convergence of digital broadcasting and Internet technologies, by elaborating on the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of a hybrid terrestrial/satellite networking infrastructure, enabling triple-play services access in rural areas. At local/district level, the paper proposes the exploitation of DVB-T platforms in regenerative configurations for creatin...
متن کاملWeather Disruption-Tolerant Self-Optimising Millimeter Mesh Networks
Millimeter-wave networks have the potential to supplement fiber in providing high-speed Internet access, as well as backhaul for emerging mobile 3G and 4G services. However, due to the high frequency of operation (70–90 GHz), such networks are highly susceptible to attenuation from rain. In this paper, we present several mechanisms to overcome the disruptive effects of rain storms on network co...
متن کاملThe challenges and opportunities of delivering wireless high speed broadband services in Rural and Remote Australia: A Case Study of Western Downs Region (WDR)
This paper critically assesses wireless broadband internet infrastructure, in the rural and remote communities of WDR in terms of supply, demand and utilisation. Only 8 of 20 towns have ADSL/ADSL2+, and only 3 towns have 4G mobile network coverage. Conversely all of the towns have 2G/3G mobile network coverage but have problems with speed, reliability of service and capacity to handle data traf...
متن کاملInvestigation of Performance in Integrated Access and Backhaul Networks
Wireless backhaul allows densification of mobile networks without incurring additional fiber deployment cost. This, in turn, leads to high spatial reuse, which is a significant tool to meet increasing wireless demand in 5G networks. Integrated access and backhaul (IAB), where access and backhaul network share the same standard wireless technology (e.g. 5G new radio (NR) standard), allows intero...
