TL;DR: Architectural aspects related to WSNs in some way connected with a satellite link are addressed, a topic that presents challenging interworking aspects and requirements of the most meaningful WSN applications have been drawn and matched to characteristics of various satellite/space systems.

TL;DR: From this analysis, it emerges that DTN architectures could integrate some of the most efficient solutions from the other categories, by inserting them in a new rigorous framework, and may represent a promising solution for solvingSome of the important problems posed at the transport layer by satellite networks, at least in a medium‐to‐long‐term perspective.

TL;DR: A burst-based TCP, named TCP Noordwijk (TCPN), is introduced to improve on standard congestion-control mechanisms and to evaluate performance, which has been implemented on the Network Simulator NS-2.

TL;DR: A review of the satellite service delivery models in order to identify viable alternatives to deploy converged satellite-terrestrial services and a high-level applicability assessment taking into account different satellite-enabled service models are proposed.

TL;DR: TC Wave has been designed with the primary goal to satisfy new requirements coming from current networks, such as adaptation to bandwidth/delay changes, efficient management of spurious losses as well as link interruption, optimal exploitation of very high link capacity and efficient transmission of small objects.
