In this paper, we investigate the capacity of two- layered satellite networks. Particularly, we propose a unified mathematical framework to formulate the relationship between network capacity and architectural parameters. Then we study the capacity of three typical scenarios. The analytical solutions show that the capacity of individual layer increases linearly with the link bandwidth of that layer. It also increases when there are more orbits and more satellites in each orbit. Moreover, when each LEO satellite can only connect to the nearest MEO satellite, the network capacity is approximately equal to the total capacity of the two layers, and is independent with the architectural parameters such as altitude of both layers and elevation angle of LEO satellites. When each LEO satellite is allowed to connect to all the MEO satellite in its coverage, the network capacity can be further increased. As the coverage size is impacted by the architectural parameters, the network capacity in this case is non-decreasing with the altitude of the MEO layer, and is non-increasing with the altitude of the LEO layer and the elevation angle of the LEO satellites. |
