IoT Thrust Seminar | Performance Analysis of Satellite Routing and Satellite-Based IoT Networks: A Stochastic Geometry Approach
We are witnessing the deployment of mega low-orbit satellite constellations, in which constellations like Starlink and the National Grid are planning to deploy tens of thousands of satellites. These constellations are expected to provide broader and more reliable communication coverage for the future network. However, as the number of satellites increases, traditional simulation methods will find it challenging to make quick estimates of network performance. To address this challenge, in recent years, an approach using a stochastic geometry framework for low-complexity performance evaluation of satellite networks has emerged. In this talk, we will first introduce how to model satellites using a stochastic geometry point process model and provide a case study of satellite routing design and routing performance analysis based on stochastic geometry. Next, we will present several research studies we are currently conducting on performance analysis of satellite-based IoT networks.
