METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINATION OF ROUTES IN LEO SATELLITE NETWORKS WITH BANDWIDTH AND PRIORITY AWARENESS AND ADAPTIVE REROUTING

摘要

In Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks data routes for point to point and point to multipoint communication sessions in LEO satellite networks are determined by considering session bandwidth, priority, and the constantly changing terminal-satellite and satellite-satellite connectivity. Multiple routes are computed for a session to facilitate automatic adaptive rerouting by satellite payloads when they encounter network failures or congestion conditions.
