The Inter-Orbit-Links （IOLs） between layers is an essential factor, which affects the performances of the DLSN systems. Considering certain constellation parameters, the geometric characteristics of IOLs are described and the connectivity of MEO satellites and LEO satellites in the DLSN is analyzed. By computer simulation, the results show that IOLs should be selectively established according to certain parameters rather than the simple in-sight principle.展开更多

Firstly,the basic concepts of TT&C coverage are discussed and the relation between TT&C coverage of ground station and geography latitude of ground station as well as spacecraft altitude are analyzed. Secondly,the United States NASA TT&C network is taken as an instance to describe the developing process of TT&C network. Finally,in combination with TT&C activities of LEO and MEO spacecrafts in China,the method to heighten TT&C coverage rate is put forward,such as rational establishing station,space resources application,international TT&C cooperation etc.展开更多

So, when large amounts of multimedia services are transmitted via a single low earth orbit （LEO） satellite system, the PB of it is much higher. In order to solve the problem, a novel handover scheme defined by multi-tier optimal layer selection is proposed. The scheme sufficiently takes into account the characteristics of double-tier satellite network, which is constituted by LEO satellites combined with medium earth orbit （MEO） satellites, and the multimedia transmitted by such network, so it can augment this systematic capacity and effectively reduces the traffic loed in the LEO which performs GH algorithm. The detailed processes are also presented. The simulation and numerical results show that the approach integrated with GH algorithm achieves a significant improvement in the PB and practicality, as compared to the single LEO layer network.展开更多
