Integrated Routing and Switching Technology for LEO Satellites
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are capable of delivering more precise and efficient multi-source data fusion information services. This paper delves deep into the impact exerted by the on-orbit characteristics of low-orbit satellites on the constellation network. Based on this analysis
a payload configuration scheme is devised
which seamlessly integrates multiple service scenarios
including satellite regenerative processing
transparent forwarding
and sub-band forwarding. In view of the negative effects of constellation network topology changes on service performance and the diverse application mode demands of various user groups
this study conducts in-depth research on the design of the low-orbit constellation payload system and satellite-ground integrated routing and switching technology. The research is carried out from four crucial aspects: payload configuration
switching architecture
control mechanism
and inter-satellite high-speed communication. Moreover
the typical performance of routing and switching is validated through rigorous tests. Currently
this technology has been successfully implemented in a specific low-orbit satellite Internet experimental satellite.
