Abstract: In one embodiment, an earthbound transceiver in a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite network establishes a connection with a first LEO satellite from a first set of LEO satellites. The first set of LEO satellites are distributed across a first plurality of orbits including first neighboring LEO satellites of the first LEO satellite, and the first neighboring LEO satellites have a fixed or semi-fixed position relative to the first LEO satellite. The earthbound transceiver determines first signal strength values associated with the first set of LEO satellites and second signal strength values associated with a second set of LEO satellites. The earthbound transceiver then periodically compares the first signal strength values to the second signal strength values. At an optimal handoff time, the earthbound transceiver initiates the handoff operation from the first LEO satellite to a second LEO satellite from the second set of LEO satellites.

Abstract: Optimal determination of wireless network pathway configurations may be provided. A computing device may receive an error profile and a response instruction associated with the error profile, as generated by a network controller. The computing device may then monitor, for an error, on a communication Track, in a network, between an ingress node and an egress node. Then, the computing device, upon detecting the error, can determine that the error is similar to the error profile, and based on the determination that the error is similar to the error profile, enact the response instruction. The response instruction can direct the computing device to switch from the communication Track to a communication subTrack between the ingress node and the egress node.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a node comprises one or more processors operable to execute instructions to cause the node to perform operations. The operations comprise determining a link quality associated with each satellite link of a plurality of satellite links and applying load balancing to the plurality of satellite links. The load balancing is based at least in part on the respective link quality associated with each satellite link. The load balancing comprises determining which of the satellite links to include in an active set selected to communicate data to or from the node and, for each satellite link in the active set, determining a portion of the data to communicate via the respective satellite link. The operations further comprise transmitting or receiving the data via the satellite links in the active set. Each satellite link in the active set communicates its respective portion of the data.

Abstract: Systems and methods reduce delivery delay jitter in a delivery network. A processor identifies a plurality of routes between an originating node and a destination node. Each route has a respective mean delivery delay time and a respective delivery delay jitter. The processor solves a convex optimization problem for a plurality of values of delivery delay, thereby yielding a plurality of solutions. Each solution represents a corresponding allocation of traffic among the plurality of routes. Each allocation of traffic has a corresponding mean delivery delay time and a corresponding mean delivery delay jitter. The processor selects, from the plurality of solutions, a selected solution, which has a mean delivery delay jitter less than the delivery delay jitter of any route of the plurality of routes. Traffic is automatically distributed over the plurality of routes according to the allocation of traffic that corresponds to the selected solution.

Abstract: Network coding and multiple packet reception (MPR) are used together to improve message dissemination speed in a wireless network using half duplex communication. In at least one embodiment, MPR is used to initially distribute data packets from a number of source nodes in the network to the other nodes of the network. Network coding techniques may then be used to perform backfilling within the network to supply data packets to the source nodes that were originally missed due to the half duplex constraint.

Abstract: Message dissemination speed is increased during multicast operations in a network by intelligently selecting one or more feedback time slots for use by destination nodes. In at least one implementation, a feedback time slot is selected based upon probabilities that a plurality of data packets will be successfully distributed to a plurality of destination nodes by various future time slots. These probabilities may be estimated based on, for example, packet erasure probabilities in the network. In some implementations, only destination nodes that have not yet successfully received a plurality of data packets are permitted to transmit feedback during feedback time slots.
