A Load Balancing Routing Strategy for LEO Satellite Network

A Load-Balanced On-Demand Routing for LEO Satellite Networks

Due to population distribution and economic flourish diversity, the low earth orbit (LEO) satellite network carries unbalanced traffic load, which leads that parts of satellite links are congested while others are underutilized. Furthermore, the congested inter-satellite links result in high queuing delay and packet dropping ratio. To ensure an intelligent scheduling of traffic over entire sate...

Distributed Traffic Balancing Routing for LEO Satellite Networks

Satellite networks have been widely investigated both in the business and academia for many years, with many important routing algorithms reported in the literatures. However, fewer existing routing algorithms focus on the trade-off between the routing survivability and the routing computation and storage overheads. Due to topological dynamics, it is difficult to effectively apply the conventio...

Load Balancing Routing Based on Agent for Polar-orbit LEO Satellite Networks ⋆

A novel load balancing routing scheme is proposed for Polar-orbit Low Earth Orbit satellite networks. This scheme employs mobile agents to gather related routing information by migrating autonomously. And, stationary agents estimate Inter-satellite Link (ISL) cost, routing path cost and update routing items on satellites. In the proposed scheme, ISL queueing delay is estimated using M/M/1 queue...

Design of IP-based Routing in a LEO Satellite Network

High Performance Routing in a LEO Satellite Network

Satellite systems are designed as a backup system to the existing land based wireless systems. Because of the global coverage of the system it becomes more economic for the rural areas where there is no wired infrastructure of communication. Besides being more economic to the rural areas the satellite networks are not affected by the natural disasters and continue to give the service in such si...
