A multicast routing algorithm for LEO satellite IP networks

Satellite networks provide global coverage and support a wide range of services. Since low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites provide short round-trip delays, they are becoming increasingly important for real-time applications such as voice and video traffic. Many applications require a mechanism to deliver information to multiple recipients. A multicast routing algorithm for datagram traffic is introduced for LEO satellite IP networks. The new scheme creates multicast trees by using the datagram routing algorithm. The bandwidth utilization and delay characteristics are assessed through simulations     

MLSR: a novel routing algorithm for multilayered satellite IPnetworks

Several IP-based routing algorithms have been developed for low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks in recent years. The performance of the satellite IP networks can be improved drastically if multiple satellite constellations are used in the architecture. A multilayered satellite IP network is introduced that consists of LEO, medium-Earth orbit (MEO) and geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites. A new multilayered satellite routing (MLSR) algorithm is developed that calculates routing tables efficiently using the collected delay measurements. The performance of the multilayered satellite network and MLSR is evaluated through simulations and analysis     

A DISTRIBUTED QOS ROUTING BASED ON ANT ALGORITHM FOR LEO SATELLITE NETWORK

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites provide short round-trip delays and are becoming in- creasingly important. One of the challenges in LEO satellite networks is the development of specialized and efficient routing algorithms. To satisfy the QoS requirements of multimedia applications, satellite routing protocols should consider handovers and minimize their effect on the active connections. A distributed QoS routing scheme based on heuristic ant algorithm is proposed for satisfying delay bound and avoiding link congestion. Simulation results show that the call blocking probabilities of this al- gorithm are less than that of Shortest Path First (SPF) with different delay bound.     

Load balancing multipath routing protocol for mass remote sensing data downlink in LEO satellite network

LEO satellite networks can provide seamless real-time data communication for all kinds of users,which developed rapidly in recent years.At the mean time,the massive payload data down-link system of space data sources,such as remote sensing satellites,still make use of traditional storage and forward mode.The real-time performance of space mission data will be improved effectively,if such satellites are connected to LEO satellite networks equipped with inter satellite links.However,it is necessary to design a specialized satellite network load balancing routing algorithm.Satellite parallel edge-disjoint multipath routing protocol (SPEMR) was designed for remote sensing satellite real-time down-link applications.OPNET simulation results indicate that the performance degradation index(DI) of the multipath scheme implemented by SPEMR is 0.32,which is only 32% of the TLR and 21% of the traditional DSP scheme.It is demonstrated that SPEMR has the better capability of transmitting massive data in real time.     

LEO satellite communication networks—a routing approach

In the modern world of telecommunications, the concept of wireless global coverage is of the utmost importance. However, real global coverage can only be achieved by satellite systems. Until recently, the satellites were in geostationary orbit and their high altitude could not allow real‐time communication such as cellular networks. The development of LEO satellite networks seems to overcome this limit. However, LEO satellite systems have specific characteristics that need to be taken into account. In the same manner, the TCP/IP standard was developed for terrestrial network. The need is then to come up with a solution that would permit the use of TCP/IP on LEO satellite networks without losing too many packets. The idea is to develop a routing algorithm that maximizes the RTT delays compared to the TCP timer granularity. For that matter, we use an FSA‐based link assignment that simulates the satellite constellation as a fixed network for a predetermined time interval. In this configuration, the problem becomes a static routing problem where an algorithm can find the best solution. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A survivable routing protocol for two-layered LEO/MEO satellite networks

Due to the rapid development of space communication, satellite networks will be confronted with more complex space environment in future, which poses the important demand on the design of the survivable and efficient routing protocols. Among satellite networks, two-layered Low Earth Orbit (LEO)/Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite networks (LMSNs) have become an attractive architecture for their better communication service than single-layered satellite networks. To determine the topological dynamics of LMSN, the satellite group and group manager (SGGM) method is a prevalent strategy. However, it can not precisely capture the topological dynamics of the LEO layer, which may result in the unreliability of data transmission. Besides, most existing routing protocols based on the SGGM method will collapse once any top satellite fails. To overcome both limitations, this paper proposes a new topology control strategy for LMSNs. The proposed strategy determines the snapshot in terms of the topological change of the LEO layer, which ensures the topological consistency of routing calculation. Moreover, a new survivable routing protocol (SRP) is presented for LMSNs by combining both centralized and distributed routing strategies. The SRP can provide strong survivability under the LEO or MEO satellite failure. Besides, it can also achieve the minimum delay routing provided the MEO layer can effectively work. The performance of SRP is also evaluated by simulation and analysis.     

一种基于分时的LEO卫星网络无环路由算法

在分析传统卫星网络路由算法的基础上，提出一种基于分时的LEO卫星网络无环路由算法(DTRA)。针对卫星在各时间片之间进行路由表切换时可能出现的路由环问题，算法采用平滑路由表切换策略消除由于切换前后网络状态信息不一致而产生环路的可能性，保证分组在任何时刻都能够沿无环最短时延路径被转发。同时，DTRA也能够通过使用无环备份路径处理可能出现的链路拥塞、节点失败等突发情况。通过复杂性分析可知，算法只需较小的星上存储开销和星上处理开销，而无需星问通信开销。仿真实验结果也表明算法能够提供数据最优传送，具有较好的端到端时延性能。

Performance evaluation of adaptive routing algorithms in packet‐switched intersatellite link networks

This paper addresses the performance evaluation of adaptive routing algorithms in non‐geostationary packet‐switched satellite communication systems. The dynamic topology of satellite networks and variable traffic load in satellite coverage areas, due to the motion of satellites in their orbit planes, pose stringent requirements to routing algorithms. We have limited the scope of our interest to routing in the intersatellite link (ISL) segment. In order to analyse the applicability of different routing algorithms used in terrestrial networks, and to evaluate the performance of new algorithms designed for satellite networks, we have built a simulation model of a satellite communication system with intersatellite links. In the paper, we present simulation results considering a network‐uniform source/destination distribution model and a uniform source–destination traffic flow, thus showing the inherent routing characteristics of a selected Celestri‐like LEO satellite constellation. The updates of the routing tables are centrally calculated according to the Dijkstra shortest path algorithm. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

适于低轨卫星IP网络的特定源组播算法

为了解决低轨卫星IP网络中现有特定源组播算法的信道资源浪费问题,本文提出了一套新的特定源组播算法,即基于核心群的特定源组播算法(CSSM)和加权的CSSM算法(w-CSSM).CSSM算法以源节点作为初始核心群,通过核心群和剩余组成员的最短路径方法逐步扩展直至整棵组播树构建完成,所得的树代价最小,从而大大提高了网络的带宽利用率和传输效率.在w-CSSM算法中,加权因子可以自适应调整以适度增大树代价、降低端到端传播时延,以支持某些有严格端到端时延要求的实时组播业务.通过与低轨卫星IP网络中典型特定源组播算法MRA的仿真比较,可以看出CSSM和w-CSSM算法的树代价性能比MRA有较大改善,不过端到端传播时延略高.     

QoS Handover Management in LEO/MEO Satellite Systems

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks are foreseen to complement terrestrial networks in future global mobile networks. Although space segment topology of a LEO network is characterized by periodic variations, connections of mobile stations (MSs) to the satellite backbone network alter stochastically. As a result the quality of service delivered to users may degrade. Different procedures have been proposed either as part of a resource allocation mechanism or as part of an end-to-end routing protocol to manage transitions of MSs from one satellite to another (handover). All of these techniques are based on the prioritization of requested handovers to ease network operation and therefore enhance provision of service. This paper proposes a new handover procedure that exploits all geometric characteristics of a satellite-to-MS connection to provide an equable handover in systems incorporating onboard processing satellites. Its performance is evaluated by simulations for a variety of satellite constellations to prove its general applicability. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

LEO multi-service routing algorithm based on multi-objective decision making

In low earth orbit(LEO) satellite networks,in view of the unbalanced link resource,it's difficult to meet differentiated quality of service(QoS) requirements and easily lead to reduce the efficiency of the whole network.A routing algorithm based on multi-objective decision making was proposed which defined LEO satellite network transmission service as the delay sensitive,sensitive bandwidth and reliability sensitive three categories.It used the eigenvector method to calculate service weights,and used the consistency ratio to determine whether it can be accepted.Based on the multi-objective decision making theory,it combined with the actual state of satellite network nodes and links and the specific requirements of the business,calculating the path that meets the QoS requirements of the service,so as to realize the LEO satellite network multi objective dynamic routing optimization.Established simulation platform based on the iridium network system simulated network delay,the uncertain characteristics like the residual bandwidth and packet error rate,route planning for the randomly generated three classes of business.The simulation results show that,the algorithm not only satisfies the QoS constrain while balancing the traffic load of the satellite link effectively,but also improves the performance on the throughput.     

低轨卫星星座快速响应链路损毁路由算法

设计高效弹性的卫星路由算法是未来低轨(Low Earth Orbit, LEO)卫星通信技术的一个重要发展方向。为解决低轨卫星星座网络中星间链路发生故障后存在的传输中断和数据安全问题,提出了一种低轨卫星星座快速响应链路损毁路由算法(Quick-response Link Destruction Routing Algorithm for LEO Satellite Constellation, QRLDRA)。QRLDRA以星座可预测拓扑作为星间路由计算基础,增加星地回传路由设计,快速将星间链路异常回传至地面计算中心处理;引入多优先级动态队列,根据节点链路状态调整星间链路不同数据传输的优先级;综合路由计算、路由上注、链路检测等功能,完成对拓扑变化的及时响应。通过仿真实验与传统算法的比较发现,所提算法有效提高了数据端到端传输的成功率,为用户业务服务质量(Quality of Service, QoS)提供了可靠保障。     

QoS routing based on mobile agent for LEO satellite IP networks

Current quality of service (QoS) routing schemes for low earth orbit (LEO) satellites IP networks either neglect the varying population density or fail to guarantee end-to-end delay. As a remedy, QoS routing protocol based on mobile agent (QoSRP-MA) is proposed. QoSRP-MA is a source-based routing protocol. Once connection requests arrive, QoS mobile agents are dispatched from ingress satellite to explore routes, which migrate using satellite routing tables. Upon arriving in egress satellite, QoS mobile agents migrate back towards ingress satellite to reserve bandwidth. To construct satellite routing tables, load balancing routing algorithm based on mobile agent (LBRA-MA) is presented. In LBRP-MA, at regular intervals mobile agents launched on all satellites migrate autonomously to evaluate path cost and update routing tables. Moreover, path cost between source and destination is evaluated considering satellite geographical position as well as inter-satellite link (ISL) cost. Furthermore, ISL congestion index is considered to update routing table. Through simulations on a Courier-like constellation, it shows that QoSRP-MA can achieve guaranteed end-to-end delay bound with higher throughput, lower connection failing ratio and signaling overhead compared to high performance satellite routing (HPSR) scheme.

Joint multi-QoS and energy saving routing for LEO satellite network

Low earth orbit(LEO) satellite network provides global coverage and supports a wide range of services. However, due to the rapid changes and energy-limitation of satellites, how to meet the demand of the quality of service(QoS) from ground traffic and prolong the lifetime of LEO satellite network is the research emphasis of the investigator. Hence, a routing algorithm which takes into account the multi-QoS requirements and satellite energy consumption(QER) of LEO satellite network is proposed. Firstly, the satellite intimacy degree(SID) and the path health degree(PHD) are introduced to obtain the path evaluation function according to the energy consumption and queue state of the satellite. Then, the distributed routing QER is established through the path evaluation function and the idea of genetic algorithm(GA), which enables each satellite to adjust traffic and realizes the network load balancing. Simulation results show that QER performs well in terms of end-to-end delay, delay jitter, and system throughput.
