Limitations on communications between Earth and the deployed payload will be caused by the low available data rate and by visibility windows (contact may be restricted to as little as <10 min every 9.5 h).
It is worth noting that τ mst can be calculated by the maximum data rate and the frame length, depending on the system of interest.
In VCV model, the computational complexity of the decoder is defined by bridging the data rate, and the number of MBs per second that the decoder has to decode.
As largely adopted in the literature, we assume that nodes are equipped with two air interfaces: a short-range air interface, which is characterized by a high data rate and low energy consumption and used for the communication within VAA (intra-VAA communication), and a long-range air interface, which is characterized by a lower data rate and used for the inter-VAA communication [3, 4, 6].
In order to identify for which application characteristics CLO is most effective, different generic application classes are examined, characterized by their relationship between data rate and perceived quality as described by the parameters and (see Figure 5), for the "increase sum MOS" variant of the proposed optimization algorithm.
Increasing the degree of mission autonomy might help overcoming the limitations imposed by the typical low data rate and the simplified ground segment of small missions.
Multimedia applications are characterized by a multitude of data rate and quality of service (QoS) requirements.
For a given optimal number of hops, the optimal energy in the sensor network is obtained by jointly considering the data rate and transmit power.
ZigBee is a wireless networking technology developed by ZigBee Alliance for low data rate and short-range applications[8].
If necessary, the proposed algorithm allocates a subband b ∈ N b per iteration i, assuming that queue length and available transmit power (APA cases only) are updated, in each iteration, by taking into account the data rate and power (APA cases only) allocated to subband b.
