Attempts to develop a solid theoretical basis for the topology and performance of satellite network constellations such as Iridium and Teledesic.
An ideal, simplified, non-geostationary satellite constellation network, with varying numbers of intersatellite links on each satellite, is presented and analysed, using a minimum-path, circuit-switching approach.
