Abstract
Satellite networks support a wide range of service and provide global coverage. Moreover, LEO satellites, which have global coverage potential, have caused great attention in the field of satellite communication. Due to satellites’ mobility, an efficient and stable routing algorithm is necessary for transmission in satellite networks. In this paper, a Distributed Multi-Path Routing algorithm (DMPR) using Earth-fixed satellite systems is proposed. DMPR adopts the Polar orbit constellation in which each satellite has four ISLs (inter satellite link) with the neighbor satellites. A traffic-light is set for every ISL to judge the blocking while avoiding some busy path and reducing the delay.
