—In this paper, a location-assisted on-demand routing (LAOR) protocol for low earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems is proposed and evaluated. This protocol can be viewed as a vari...
Notwithstanding the limited commercial success of the first narrowband Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems, the interest of the scientific community in this type of systems ...
—In this paper, we propose a lightweight distributed routing algorithm, called Distributed Load-Aware Routing (DLAR). The proposed protocol adopts a distributed approach to handl...
Satellite systems are designed as a backup system to the existing land based wireless systems. Because of the global coverage of the system it becomes more economic for the rural ...
Satellite networks offer a number of desirable characteristics including wide area coverage, unique broadcast capabilities, the ability to communicate with hand-held devices, and ...
