Networking and Routing in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Communication Systems: Challenges and Solutions

Professor Bomin Mao

Northwestern Polytechnical University, China

About the Talk

Ultra-dense Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites can provide users with flexible, seamless, and high-throughput communication services. They complement the shortcomings of terrestrial communications and conventional Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite-based communications. However, the qualified End-to-End (E2E) service provision is challenged by the ultra-density and high dynamics of LEO satellite constellations as well as the uneven distribution of service requests. Traditional networking and routing solutions are not applicable for the large-scale 3-dimensional dynamic satellite networks with mixed Radio Frequency (RF) and laser links.

To address these issues, worldwide researchers have devoted significant efforts. In this talk, we first introduce the LEO communication system characteristics and service requirements which challenge the networking and routing solution design. Then, several cutting-edge solutions and their performance are explained to illuminate future potential directions. Finally, we discuss existing simulation platforms for satellite networks and future digital twin-based platforms.
