Abstract

This paper proposes a double-layered satellite network based on the rateless code, which can globally distribute the information with a few satellites. The satellite network is composed of Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The GEO satellites which cover the low and middle latitudes serve as the backbone network, whereas the LEO satellites are considered the enhanced network to make up for the shortage of the backbone network. Due to the interruption tolerance of the rateless code, only a few satellites are employed to achieve worldwide information distribution in the design of the satellite network. The coverage performance and the average elevation angle of the user are simulated, and results demonstrate that the network can achieve globally information distribution.
