Space experiment “Kontur-2”: Applied methods and obtained results

摘要

Space experiment “Kontur-2” aboard the International Space Station is focused on the transfer of information between station and on-ground robot. Station's resources are limited, including communication ones. That is why for the space experiment “Kontur-2” it was decided to use the methods of priority traffic management. New access control mechanisms based on these methods are researched. The usage of the priority traffic processing methods allows using more efficiently the bandwidth of receiving and transmitting equipment onboard the International Space Station through the application of randomized push-out mechanism. The paper considers methods applied for traffic management and access control during international space experiment “Kontur-2” performed aboard the ISS. The obtained results are also presented.
