Research on Topology Management and Routing for Navigation Constellations with Hybrid Laser/Microwave Links
Hybrid laser/microwave links system can combine the advantages of high speed and low latency of laser links and the stability of microwave links in harsh environments to provide more reliable and efficient communication services for satellite navigation systems. Taking the navigation constellation equipped with hybrid laser/microwave links as the research object
and study the topology and routing of its navigation constellation. A hybrid constellation model based on Walker-δ 24/3/1 MEO constellation and GEO、IGSO satellites is constructed to analyse the characteristics of the inter-satellite link system. For the link topology design
a laser link ring and cross-ring connection scheme is proposed
and the microwave link is optimised using a simulated annealing algorithm to further improve the position accuracy factor. On this bais
a measurement time slot allocation strategy and communication time slot routing algorithm based on graph theory matching are proposed
and their effectiveness is verified by simulation.
