Generally\, there are three kinds of satellit es according to their orbit height including Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (G EO) Satellites\, Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) Satellites\, and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites. Among them\, the LEO satellites have the advantage of l ow latency\, and the LEO constellation has become one of the frontier rese arch topics in recent years\, such as Starlink\, OneWeb\, Hongyan\, and so on. These novel plans promise affordable solutions to provide the global broadband access\, Internet of Things (IoT) services\, and mobile communic ation services. The technologies above can be applied in the context of sp arsely populated areas such as oceans and deserts\, and it can also be uti lized in the disaster areas whenever communication infrastructures are bei ng destroyed.\n\nThe conventional LEO constellation usually relies on the ground station to achieve the global networking. However\, this requires g lobal ground station deployment\, which is usually constrained by many fac tors. Therefore\, networking over inter-satellite links becomes a promisin g solution. To achieve this objective\, several technical challenges need to be tackled. Especially the amount of the networked satellites can be sc aled up to tens of thousands within a routing domain\, and the dynamics of the inter-satellite topology and the dynamics among satellites and ground stations exacerbate the challenges. Moreover\, how to achieve the flexibl e scheduling in the network to serve unevenly distributed services is also an emerging challenge.\n\nIn this talk\, I will introduce the historical and background knowledge of satellite communication and networking as well as some use cases and their associated solutions.
