Abstract

The realization of a unified and efficient marine communication network is not only about how to develop a communication system, but also how to manage them, that is, how to set up an efficient marine communication network. Marine hierarchical-heterogeneous network is a multi-level integrated marine communication network, with shore-based, ship-based, star-based, space-based, underwater sound/light base station access, transmission and information aggregation capability. The access control, heterogeneous networking and resource optimization scheduling technology is facing enormous challenges, according to different priorities and types of services. Considering the complexity of the heterogeneous network as a cross-network with multi-user and multi-service, it is necessary to apply the delay tolerance network technology, cooperative technology, TD-LTE and software definition network technology into the network architecture design. The vision is exploiting DTN technology based ship-borne Internet, and the space-sea cooperative DTN data transmission scheduling mechanism; exploring the underwater acoustic/optical communication network switching scheduling mechanism; and then software definition heterogeneous network implementation is proposed, especially its optimal target network selection scheme. The project is meant as a Petri dish to provide valuable theoretical guidance and technical support of planning and performance evaluation for future marine hierarchical-heterogeneous network.
