Modeling and Analysis for Multiple-Layer LEO Satellite Internet of Things Constellations
🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses the challenge of accurately modeling the performance of multilayer low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite Internet-of-Things (IoT) constellations over practical Rician fading channels. To this end, the authors propose a stochastic geometry–based analytical framework that characterizes the spatial distribution of satellites using a Cox point process and introduces a novel channel approximation method tailored for Rician fading. For the first time, closed-form expressions are derived for key performance metrics—including connection probability, coverage probability, and achievable transmission rate—enabling precise performance evaluation of such systems under Rician fading conditions. Theoretical results are validated through simulations, revealing fundamental relationships between constellation design parameters and channel characteristics, thereby offering both theoretical insights and practical guidance for the deployment of future multilayer LEO IoT networks.
📝 Abstract
To provide multiple-satellite coverage for global Internet of Things (IoT), a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite IoT constellation usually contains multiple-layer orbits with different altitudes. However, the performance of multiple-layer LEO satellite IoT constellations under practical Rician fading satellite channels remains unknown due to complex theoretical modeling and intractable mathematical analysis. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a stochastic geometry-based modeling and analysis framework for multiple-layer LEO satellite IoT constellations, integrating Rician channel modeling and Cox point processes. Specifically, we introduce a novel channel approximation method to overcome the intractable expressions caused by the Rician fading. Building on this method, we derive exact closed-form expressions for key performance metrics, including connectivity probability, coverage probability, and transmission rate, especially in the case of IoT short-packet transmission. Extensive simulation results validate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed model and reveal significant design insights. The results not only provide new theoretical perspectives for modeling and analysis of LEO satellite IoT constellations but also offer practical guidance for system deployment and optimization.
