Abstract

It is a developing trend that satellites are used to interconnect heterogeneous network in the field of satellite communication. Besides transmitting application data, inter-satellite links (ISLs) will be used to transmit satellite management data, such as telemetry and telecommand data. The ground stations are managing entity. In this paper, the typical constellation composed of twenty-four medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites are considered as a researching object. We present a routing algorithm satisfied ground stations distribution constraint. The characteristics of routing algorithms are combine satellite network with ground station managing network to make integrated planning. From the simulation results, it shows that our algorithm takes great advantage of data transmitting bandwidth of ISLs and save ground station managing resources. It is an important foundation for further studies of management methods on a large scale satellite networks.
