Abstract

Satellite networks have great potential in providing global ubiquitous broadband communication. In this paper, we explore the capacity of both single-layered and two-layered satellite networks. Closed-form approximate expressions of network capacity are derived, which provide insights into the impact of different network parameters, such as number of orbits, number of satellites in each orbit, link bandwidth, existence of the seam, the relative position between the two layers, etc. We investigate the advantages of two-layered structure by comparing the capacity of single-layered and two-layered networks. The results show that the network capacity of two-layered networks is always no less than the total capacity of the two layers. Moreover, we obtain the network parameter condition under which the network capacity of two-layered networks is strictly larger than the sum capacity of the two layers. The results obtained in this paper can serve as a guideline for the design of efficient multi-layered satellite networks.

1
In polar constellation, when no link maintained between satellites moving in opposite directions, we say there exist a seam between the two counter-rotating orbits.
 
2
The two orbits on the two sides of the seam are referred as the on-seam orbits. In other words, the two on-seam orbits are adjacent and not connected by inter-plane ISLs.
 
3
Note that in two-layered networks terrestrial users always connect to LEO satellites to avoid large path loss. Therefore, we assume that traffic flows only originated from and destined to LEO satellites in two-layered scenarios.
