Abstract: Network architecture analysis is a curial issue for a large scale Machine-To-Machine (M2M) network. Considering an M2M backbone network which consists of distributed satellite clusters in geosynchronous orbit (GEO), a new distributed satellite cluster network (DSCN) hybrid topology architecture is proposed in this paper. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the conceptions of domains, strong/weak link, hubs, small world, and degree realizability are proposed for the first time in the DSCN based M2M backbone networks. How these features affect the network is given through analysis and simulation. By employing Network Science Theory, a strong constraint DSCN topology is presented. In addition, we compare the DSCN with several typical network topologies. Results show that the proposed hybrid architecture realizes a stunning trade-off between the efficiency and robustness.
