6G Serverless Computing Architecture with Service-Level Agreement Assurance for Cross-Constellation Communications Command and Control
The research team at NC State University focuses on building a distributed architecture and services framework, developing protocols and algorithms, and testing the system prototype.
This project seeks to address the technical challenges associated with the Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node (Space-BACN), enabling reliable connections between satellites in different constellations managed by a variety of operators, including both government and commercial entities. A hierarchical architecture will be designed to provide cross-constellation connectivity and coordination protocols and APIs will be developed to serve satellites across constellations. Research from NC State aims to build a distributed architecture and services framework, create protocols and algorithms, and test the system prototype.

More Details
This project aims at addressing the technical issues in the Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node (Space-BACN) by providing reliable connections between satellites in different constellations managed by diverse operators, including the government and the commercials, using optical inter-constellation links. Space-BACN should offer a coordination protocol and APIs to serve satellites in different constellations using a hierarchical architecture to enable cross-constellation connectivity.
