Abstract
To meet the needs of step-by-step construction of inclined geosynchronous orbit (IGSO)/medium earth orbit (MEO) constellation in the future and to improve the robustness of the constellation in case of losing connections of some satellites, this paper studies the incomplete IGSO/MEO constellation network topology design technology, analyses the inter-satellite link accessibility, and proposes a multilayer satellite network link-building strategy based on dynamic programming. This paper also designs the methods of link-building for intra-layer links among IGSO satellites, intra-layer links among MEO satellites and inter-layer links between IGSO satellites and MEO satellites. The simulation results show that this method can well construct dynamic inter-satellite network topology with less link switches, higher network transmission bandwidth and wider access user coverage.
