Abstract

With the difference of satellite altitude, there are always some inherent defects in the traditional single-layer satellite networks. In this paper, in order to improve the performance of the single-layer networks, a multi-layer satellite network model composed of LEO/MEO/GEO and inter satellite link is proposed. In this model, the LEO and MEO layers are used as the access layer, and the data transmission is carried out to the ground. As the core layer, the GEO layer is responsible for the management of the whole network and the link assignment. Then modeling the network based on the STK satellite simulation platform and carrying out the simulation analysis of ground coverage, the performance of the inter satellite link and the link transmission. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the design of multi-layer satellite network is reasonable and effective, and also can be used in the construction of the integrated satellite-terrestrial networks.
