Software-Defined Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated Networks with Open-Source Simulation Platforms
Satellite-terrestrial integrated networks (STINs) have been recognized as an important key technology for future 6G networks. With the introduction of large-scale satellite constellations, traditional network management schemes cannot fully meet the requirements for network operation and software defined networking (SDN) is introduced as a promising tool. However, existing network simulators fail to meet the simulation purposes for software-defined STINs and we aim to fill this research gap by implementing a network simulation framework with open-source simulation platforms including Geomview, SaVi and Mininet.
