Compared with Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellite systems and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite systems, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems provide lower propagation delay as well as higher throughput. Because of these reasons, LEO satellite systems can play a pivotal role in providing services to areas where there is no substantial terrestrial infrastructure. In this paper, a novel kind ...

Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite has the advantages of global coverage, low propagation delay and low path losses, etc. Combined with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission, LEO satellite system can support very high capacity suitable for wideband multimedia traffic. This paper analyzes the channel model and throughput for LEO OFDM satellite communication system. First, s...

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are used for public networking and for scientific purposes. Communication via satellite begins when the satellite is positioned in its orbital position. Ground stations can communicate with LEO satellites only when the satellite is in their visibility region. The duration of the visibility and the communication vary for each LEO satellite pass over the station, ...

Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems gained considerable interest in the past decade and were expected to be instrumental in future telecommunications systems. Nevertheless, the first two LEO satellite networks that are currently in operation have not come to fruition on account of the limited spectrum of services that they provide. In this context, future LEO satellite networks will be gear...

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks will play an important role in the evolving information infrastructure. Satellites in the low earth orbits provide communication with shorter end-to-end delays and efficient frequency usage. However, some problems need to be solved before LEO satellite systems can be successfully deployed. One of these problems is the handover management. The objective o...

Abstmct Satellite networks provide global coverage and support a wide range of services. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites provide short round trip delays and are becoming increasingly important. One of the challenges in LEO satellite networks is the development of specialized and efflcient routing algorithms. In this work, a datagram routing algorithm for LEO satellite networks is introduced. T...

Satellite communication promises potential methods for providing global communication. In particular, by the development of a Low Earth Orbital (LEO) satellite constellation, both global coverage and broadband communication will be accessible. Problems arise in situations where various tra¢ c types in broadband communication require di¤erent levels of quality of service (QoS). Tra¢ c control is...

Routing in Low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite system involves the choice of inter-satellite links (ISLs) that connects two home satellites of the mobile terminals. We use a mesh model to formulate the LEO system and proposed 4 mesh-based algorithms. The objective is to minimize the new call blocking probability and the forced termination probability. Also, due to the dynamic topology of the LEO sy...

In the near future low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication networks will partially substitute for fixed terrestrial multimedia networks especially in sparsely populated areas. Unlike fixed terrestrial networks, ongoing calls may be dropped if satellite channels are shadowed. Therefore, in most LEO satellite communication networks more than one satellite need to be simultaneously visible i...
