A LEO satellite network architecture, in which ground user terminals are connected to a cluster of LEO satellites instead of conventional single-satellite connectivity.

About

A low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network architecture, in which ground user terminals are connected to a cluster of LEO satellites instead of conventional single-satellite connectivity. The satellites in the cluster are connected to a central processing unit that is deployed on a satellite with more advanced capabilities. The cluster can operate cooperatively to transmit/ receive data to/from ground user terminals with enhance throughput and reduced handover rate.
