Future space systems, such as spacecrafts and unmanned aircrafts, will require large-scale wireless communications for data
collection, fusing and integration. This can be achieved by employing various wireless networking technologies, including wireless personal area networks (WPAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), wireless mesh networks (WMN), and wireless sensor networks (WSN), to form a self-organization and self-healing communication network. The heterogeneousness of nodes and large- scale of communications, however, bring nontrivial challenges to the research community. Among them, for example, are interference, security, and quality of service. The Wireless Communications and Networking research team at Old Dominion University has conducted significant research in space wireless communications. This talk will present several on-going research projects related to high-performance wireless communications in space systems.
