The satellite Internet of Things (IoT) is an ideal solution for enabling various IoT devices to access networks anytime and anywhere. In traditional satellite IoT architecture, IoT devices are allowed to access satellites directly. However, with the explosion of IoT devices and IoT data, direct connections can bring serious problems for the satellite IoT, such as network congestion and link overhead. To solve these problems, we study the architecture and routing algorithm of the satellite IoT based on a content-centric network (CCN). First, we design the agent super-router (SR) between satellites and IoT devices using the CCN and propose a CCN-based satellite IoT architecture. With the help of the CCN, IoT data can be cached anywhere and transmitted through interest packets and content packets. The IoT data are no longer available only through a direct connection. Second, we design a tree-based ant colony (TAC) routing algorithm in the CCN-based satellite IoT architecture. By combining the advantages of the spanning tree and ant colony algorithm, the TAC routing algorithm speeds up data transmission and data processing between interest packets and content packets. Finally, simulations demonstrate that our proposed architecture and TAC algorithm can effectively solve the network congestion and link overhead problems.
