  • Architecture For Providing Forecasts of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Obscuration and Multipath
    Publication number: 20240103181
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of providing DOP forecasts for LEO navigation for routing of vehicles, aircraft, alerting humans in vehicles, or wireless devices, and bandwidth forecasts for LEO communications. The method includes accessing a 3D map of an area including structure solids and generating cuboids in spaces not contained in the structure solids; and iteratively over time increments, calculating LEO satellites visible from the cuboids using the map and, using at least the calculated visibility, determining forecasts for the cuboids at the time increments. Also included is compressing the determined forecast spatially and temporally; and distributing the compressed DOP forecast via a CDN, responsive to queries from requestors. Systems of the requestors can take into account the forecast for routing vehicles or alerting humans in vehicles to a predicted navigation impairment. Risk analysis is applied to improving computation and distribution of forecasts. Forecasts are applied to satellite deployment.
