论文摘要
低地球轨道（LEO）中密集的小卫星网络（DSSN）可以使几个移动地面通信系统（MTC）受益。但是，只有通过仔细考虑DSSN基础设施和合适的DSSN技术的识别才能实现潜在的好处。在本文中，我们讨论了DSSN基础架构的几个组成部分，包括卫星地层，轨道路径，卫星间通信（ISC）链接（ISC）链接和通信体系结构，用于从源到目的地的数据传递。我们还回顾了DSSN的重要技术，以及在DSSN中使用这些技术所涉及的挑战。本文还确定了几个开放的研究方向以增强DSSN对MTC的好处。还包括一项案例研究，显示DSSN在MTC中的整合益处。
Dense small satellite networks (DSSN) in low earth orbits (LEO) can benefit several mobile terrestrial communication systems (MTCS). However, the potential benefits can only be achieved through careful consideration of DSSN infrastructure and identification of suitable DSSN technologies. In this paper, we discuss several components of DSSN infrastructure including satellite formations, orbital paths, inter-satellite communication (ISC) links, and communication architectures for data delivery from source to destination. We also review important technologies for DSSN as well as the challenges involved in the use of these technologies in DSSN. Several open research directions to enhance the benefits of DSSN for MTCS are also identified in the paper. A case study showing the integration benefits of DSSN in MTCS is also included.
