Multi-layer Orbit-weave Optical Satellite Networks with Cross-layer Routing for Stable Service Delivery

We propose a multi-layer constellation for optical satellite networks and a cross-layer path-aggregation routing strategy to establish persistent links. Our proposal reduces blocking probability ($12.6 \%$) and link utilization ($10.2 \%$) with respect to a state-of-the-art single-orbit solution. © 2024 The Author(s)
