A Modeling of TSRCG and Resource Optimization for Multi-task Delivery Guarantee Algorithm Based on CGR Strategy in LEO Satellite Network

With the reduction of satellite costs and the enhancement of processing capabilities, low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations can independently build inter-satellite networks without relying on traditional ground stations restricted by geographical distribution and can establish inter-satellite links (ISLs) and complete computing and routing on-board. The characteristics of frequent on-off ISLs, the highly dynamic network topology of satellite networks make it face the challenges of routing strategy design as a delay/interruption tolerant network (DTN). As a deterministic dynamic routing algorithm, contact graph routing (CGR) uses a contact plan to calculate the path and forward data, but it still has problems such as high computational overhead, low prediction accuracy caused by ignoring queue delay, and overbooked problem caused by limited cache. Therefore, we first start with the time-space resource contact graph (TSRCG) to accurately characterize the time-varying and predictable characteristics of the satellite network and the network resource parameters under multi-tasks. Then, we optimize the route-list computation and dynamic route computation process to ensure task delivery and reduce the consumption of various resources, such as contact capacity, computing resources, and storage resources. And the resource optimization for the multi-task delivery guarantee algorithm based on CGR (RMDG-CGR) strategy we propose is compared with standard CGR in ION 4.0.1. Finally, the simulation results show that the RMDG-CGR can achieve higher task delivery in advance and successful task delivery rate, save contact volume occupancy rate, computing and storage resource, and the above effects are more prominent, especially in the task scenario with critical bundles.
