Abstract

Multi-satellite communication networks have been proposed to address the explosive growth in global multi-media and personal communications services. A satellite network, must provide continuous, error-free, and uninterrupted high-throughput transmission even if one or more satellites in the network fail. Consequently, fault tolerance, disaster avoidance and network survivability of a satellite network are important characteristics. Herein, a fully connected global multi-satellite network is presented and its fault tolerance, disaster avoidance, network survivability, and traffic capacity of the network are discussed
