Main contribution

The main contribution is to bring an efficient representation of satellites, ground stations and terminals into Linux emulation, updating delays and connectivity directly in the kernel datapath.

Link with BoND1

BoND1 needs evaluation tools able to represent dynamic non-cellular connectivity. This work provides an experimental basis for analyzing LEO constellations as part of B6G and IoT scenarios, with emphasis on scalability and reproducibility.
