This paper proposes a new handover strategy named Minimal-Hops Handover (MHH) strategy for the LEO satellite-based constellation networks equipped with Inter-Satellites Links (ISL). MHH strategy, which is based on the hops of the end-to-end connection paths and makes good use of the regularity of the constellation network topology, can appropriately combine the handover procedure with routing and efficiently solve the inter-satellites handover issue.Moreover, MHH strategy can provide QoS guarantees to some extent. The system performances of the MHH strategy, such as time propagation delay and handover frequency, are evaluated and also are compared with that of other previous strategies. The simulation results show that MHH strategy performs better than them.
Abslracf-In this paper, the performances of the streaming sedice and radio usage efficiency by applying the link layer acknowledged mode and the proposed transmission scheme in UMTS are presented. The analytical result shows that this scheme can distinctly improve radio usage efficiency at the same packet loss ratio requirement of the application layer. According to the simulation results, the playout delay and jitter introduced by the packet retransmission are ignorable when the receiver buffers the streaming service packets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
