End-To-End Terrestrial-Satellite-Terrestrial Communications
摘要
In this work, as presented in Fig. 5.1, a low Earth orbit (LEO) mega-constellation communication scenario is considered, which consists of a terrestrial source-destination (S-D) pair, K ( \(K > 2\) ) LEO satellites, \(1 \le p < q \le K\) , a ground relay (G), an aerial relay (A), and a relay satellite ( \(\mathrm{{S}}_0\) ) with higher orbit compared to the LEO satellites. More specifically, S and D can communicate with each other via the inter-LEO-satellite link according to the original design of the LEO satellite communication system.
