Abstract:Satellite system architectures based on geostationary or Low Earth Orbit (LEO)/Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) constellation suffer from their intrinsic limitations in terms of coverage or flexibility. Traffic requirements concerning broadband services are expected to be very uneven both in time and space. To match this requirement and to improve coverage an innovative satellite system architecture, composed of a LEO/MEO segment to complement a Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) segment, has been proposed. In this scena… Show more
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.
