Satellite-Terrestrial Integration Scenarios for Future Information-Centric Networks

Abstract

This paper addresses scenarios of integrated satellite-terrestrial Future Internet networks based on the Information-Centric Networking (ICN) communication paradigm. Focus is given on three integration scenarios: i) Hybrid Broadcast IPTV, paving the way for SatCom integration within the Future Media Internet; ii) Smart M2M Transport, paving the way for SatCom integration within a future Internet of Things; and iii) Extended 4G Backhauling, paving the way for SatCom integration within the 4G mobile Internet.
