| Abstract |
Today, polar regions such as the Arctic and Antarctic collect a wealth of data on climate, geology, oceanography, ecology, and more, and are utilized in a variety of studies. These data can be collected directly by researchers or transmitted via satellite communication, but there are many limitations due to the characteristics of extreme environments such as snowfall and strong winds. In this paper, we derive the requirements for building and operating network infrastructure in extreme environments, analyze the components and interfaces that meet them, and propose operational scenarios for stable data transmission. We also propose a simulation model that can calculate the traffic and data loss rates that may occur when operating a network in extreme environments, and analyze the traffic and data loss rates in each operational scenario. We propose a reliable data transmission scenario that considers network lifetime, traffic generation, and data loss rate in extreme environments. |
