SPACE TIME REAL DEPLOYMENT IS ALSO COMMERCIAL
KR This is a different space time of nasa with utilities
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of global consumer data traffic
continues to grow by double digits annually. However, it is often
uneconomical to deploy fiber or cell towers outside urban areas.
Geostationary orbiting (GEO) satellites have for decades provided global
coverage; but, from an altitude of 36,000km, they are very limited in the
capacity density they can support per unit area (e.g., Mbps/km2). The
round-trip latency through a GEO satellite is also more than
500 msec, creating a poor experience for interactive and other
latency-sensitive applications. The unmet demand for commercial data
traffic is driving satellite operators to deploy new satellite
constellations into non-geostationary orbits (NGSO). As the altitude of
satellites is reduced by as
much as an order of magnitude to medium-earth orbit (MEO) and another order
of magnitude to low-earth-orbit (LEO), or perhaps another order of
magnitude with High-Altitude Platform Station
(HAPS) aircraft, the network operator is sacrificing the coverage area
provided by each satellite for orders of magnitude greater capacity density
– dramatically improving the data traffic that can be
delivered. However, the significantly increased number of satellites now
required for global coverage, and the non-geostationary motion, create a
number of new operational challenges.
Population densities (and income distribution of people able to afford
satellite user terminals) are not uniformly distributed across the earth
(in fact, they are quite clumpy). And NGSO satellites are constantly
moving. So, these satellite and HAPS operators employ steerable directional
antennas to focus the capacity to support the data traffic demands of the
most populated areas. And, to backhaul the capacity from each satellite or
HAPS platform to the Internet, the network operators
further leverage steerable directional antennas and free-space optical
(FSO) communications for the Inter-Satellite Links (ISLs) and Gateway (GW)
links to the Points of Presence (POPs) that connect back to the Internet.
As conflict theatres become increasingly sophisticated and contested, the
need for reliable, resilient, self-healing, and secure communication has
never been more critical *in all domains*. Near-peer adversaries seek to
degrade communications and are increasingly developing capabilities to jam
and degrade traditional communication channels. A solution lies within the
domain of low probability of intercept (LPI), detect (LPD), and jam (LPJ)
technologies — collectively known as LPX. LPX technologies offer the
essential attributes needed in such environments. They minimize the
likelihood of signal interception and detection by adversarial systems,
protect against jamming attempts, and ensure the location of the
transmitter is challenging to discern. This combination of properties is
critical in preserving the integrity and availability of communication
networks in hostile environments. LPX attributes are *also *made possible
by harnessing the power of steerable directional antennas, advanced
frequency bands — often millimetre-wave bands, and free space optical
communication systems. Steerable directional antennas limit the spatial
region within which reception of the signal is possible, which enhances
signal security and reduces the probability of
being located. It also creates self-healing options to ensure mission
success.
Deploying steerable directional communications in real-world
environments is not without its challenges. Moving vehicles or other assets
that host steerable directional communications infrastructure can encounter
obstructions, and the terrain itself may be a barrier. Changing
weather can impact free space optics (FSO) communications or radio wave
propagation in certain bands, especially at higher frequencies. The very
factors that make steerable directional communication high-throughput and
secure also necessitate constant attention to the state and orientation of
network nodes, requiring a dynamic and responsive network structure or link
topology.
The choice of physical link structure in such a network has profound
implications on network performance, resilience, and adaptability. Some
wireless link structures might excel in a specific context and set of
mission requirements – but fall short in others. Moreover, most modern
high-throughput radios are equipped with adaptive coding and modulation
(ACM) capabilities. ACM allows the radio to adjust its transmission
characteristics in response to changes in link quality or distance. This
means that depending on the link geometry, range, weather conditions, and
other factors, the effective data rate of the link can vary, affecting
overall network performance.
The task of managing these diverse, complex, and continually changing
network conditions is immense and necessitates advanced network
orchestration capabilities. Such orchestration should be capable of not
just *maintaining *network connectivity, but also *optimizing *it based on
continually changing end-to-end service requirements. For commercial
networks, these end-to-end requirements should be expressed by operations
support systems and business support systems (OSS/BSS) via software
interfaces (e.g., MEF APIs or 5G/6G slicing). For defense
networks, these end-to-end requirements should be expressed by Battle
Management and Decision Support systems (e.g., Andriel’s Lattice OS,
Lockheed’s DIAMOND Shield, etc.) – taking into account the full range of
constraints and possibilities offered by the dynamically changing set
of available assets, the environment, and the needs of the mission. That is
where Aalyria’s Spacetime comes into play.
Unlike contemporary SDN and SD-WAN solutions, Spacetime is capable of
orchestrating the *underlying physical link topology *of networks of
steerable directional beams – across all domains. Instead of performing
path computation and route selection over a topology you don’t
control, it flips the script: it enables path computation and route
selection over the multiverse of topologies that can exist across space and
time. From this set of all possible wireless links, it ensures that *the
set of chosen links are optimal for the needs of the end-to-end network
services and their associated requirements*. It is capable of bringing
entirely new LPX link topologies into existence, configuring their spectrum
resources, and configuring the network routing over them to
reconstitute networks or meet new mission requirements in tactically
responsive timeframes.
The Spacetime software platform was designed to orchestrate very large
and constantly changing communications networks of flying, orbiting,
floating, and driving vehicles, carrying a
wide array of wireless radio and optical links and delivering data to a
widely scattered set of users and endpoints across land, sea, air and
space. It has years of heritage performing such orchestration in production
operations for real-world aerospace networks. Vendor-, asset-, frequency-,
orbit-, data- and waveform-adaptive, Spacetime uses any available links
across those platforms – along with any accessible terrestrial fixed or
mobile wireless, wired, and fiber assets – to form a continuous and
highly-redundant mesh. It orchestrates this mesh to constantly and
autonomously adapt to changing weather, motion/location/speed of vehicles,
user requests for transport, and link obstructions (e.g., wingtips,
adversary action, horizon masks, rain-fade, sun outages).
To ensure a perpetually reliable network, Spacetime continuously updates
and exercises a detailed physics model of all current and potential links.
Using a planet-scale digital twin, the
system predicts the motion of platforms to maintain understanding of
connectivity opportunities, across space and time, for every possible pair
of compatible transceivers. Using nowcast and forecast weather data, and
the location and characteristics of known obstructions (on and
surrounding the platforms), relevant terrain, and all known and detected
interferers (environmental (e.g., solar), unintentional or adversarial),
Spacetime rapidly predicts impacts on link quality and throughput and the
performance and reliability of future possible links. Our propagation
modelling assesses how much attenuation or degradation of wireless signals
would be encountered between all pairs of compatible transceivers from
real-time motion, weather, atmosphere, geometric or field-of-regard
obstructions, and terrain impacts; predicts wireless access, backhaul, and
inter-satellite link (ISL) opportunities with full consideration of signal
strength and quality based on near-term attenuation/degradation
constraints; and models and precomputes for every possible link, how much
energy would be received by the intended receiver, and also how much
interference that choice would impart upon other receivers, or potential
adversaries that want to detect transmissions, or potential victims of
interference in a spectrum coordination environment.
With this information, Spacetime intelligently and proactively evolves
the network topology, making new connections and re-routing traffic before
links disappear or degrade, all without dropping a packet. Spacetime also
monitors traffic flow, accommodating increases by activating additional
links to maximize new routes, or adjusting to reduced traffic flow by
adding redundant routes or increasing coding rates to maximize resilience
and reliability. There is no need to tell Spacetime through what satellite
to traverse or what communication band to use, unless desired. Instead,
business or mission operations systems (machines) or operators (humans)
express end-to-end goals for transport, including committed and expected
information
rates, latency constraints, and priority. As a continuous self-healing,
dynamic network control plane, the system solves the rest – optimizing and
evolving the schedule for all beam tasking (pointing directions for
steerable antennas and optical terminals), encapsulation and routing
functions (channelizers, IPv4, IPv6, segment routing, MPLS, etc.), and
radio & optical transceiver resource management frequencies/ wavelengths,
and bandwidth to use). Spacetime immediately discovers and incorporates
newly deployed or reactivated assets into the network
(with secure provisioning and utilization in seconds) to add redundancy,
decrease latency, or increase throughput across the network.
Spacetime is built on an open architecture that provides simple, powerful
“northbound” APIs for use by commercial OSS/BSS or defense Battle
Management Decision Support applications, human operators, or any other
authorized application to request end-to-end data services
matching their throughput, priority, latency, and other requirements.
Spacetime uses this information to constantly evolve and optimize the
topology to ensure all data gets to its endpoint as fast as (or faster
than) requested, even as weather, motion, and adversaries work to stop it.
