Double Layer LEO Satellite Based “BigMAC” Space Information Network Architecture

Space information network (SIN) is not only the key element to contact everything all over the earth, but also the important part of the information highway in the future. Architecture design is the basement of the whole space information network, in order to insure the access of the existing various types of satellites, aircrafts and ground facilities, while taking into account the cost of satellite and system performance, we design a double layer LEO satellite based “BigMAC” space information network architecture in this paper, which is compatible to the various existing satellite systems. The simulation results shows that the architecture is feasible and can provide others some construction of ideas in the future.
