Abstract

As a part of the 10 key enabling technologies for 5G, SDN and NFV bring great influence and inspiration to satellite network architecture. SDN/NFV-enabled satellite network building method in transparent satellite system has been researched; however less attention has been paid to the regenerative process satellite system. In addition, satellite system is a typical restricted system, the theoretical research results and successful technology solutions of the ground network are difficult to be applied directly to the satellite system. In this paper, we study how to build a software defined satellite network based on regenerative process satellite system, how to support the software definition of satellite nodes, and put forward a realizable and efficient approach for building software defined satellite network, on this basis, the application scenario of the software definition satellite network is prospected.
