Abstract
In this paper we present a simple model for satellite constellations with polar orbits and inter-satellite links. This model is used to propose and study two algorithms for routing and re-routing communications, which aim at improving the quality of service for long communications. In order to study these algorithms, we have developed a satellite constellation simulator. Some of its results are presented.
Résumé
Après avoir présenté un modèle de constellation de satellites à orbites polaires et liens intersatellites, nous proposons et étudions deux algorithmes de routage et de reroutage de communications. Ces algorithmes visent à améliorer la qualité de service des communications de longue durée. Pour l’étude de ces algorithmes, nous développons un simulateur de constellation de satellites dont nous présentons quelques résultats.
