Abstract[English]
Provided herein are various enhancements for establishing distributed orchestration of mesh networking across a constellation of satellites. In one example implementation, a method includes identifying a local connectivity schedule covering at least a time interval for a satellite relative to other satellites of a constellation of satellites. The method also includes producing a merged connectivity schedule by merging the local connectivity schedule with additional local connectivity schedules determined by other satellites of the constellation. Based at least on applying a selected routing algorithm to the merged connectivity schedule, the method includes generating a forwarding almanac covering at least the time interval for the satellite, and establishing at least a portion of the communication network during the time interval by at least configuring a router of the satellite in accordance with the forwarding almanac.[French]
L'invention concerne diverses améliorations pour établir une orchestration distribuée de réseautage maillé sur l'ensemble d'une constellation de satellites. Dans un exemple de mise en œuvre, un procédé consiste à identifier un programme de connectivité locale couvrant au moins un intervalle de temps pour un satellite par rapport à d'autres satellites d'une constellation de satellites. Le procédé consiste également à produire un programme de connectivité fusionné par fusion du programme de connectivité locale avec des programmes de connectivité locale supplémentaires déterminés par d'autres satellites de la constellation. Sur la base au moins de l'application d'un algorithme de routage sélectionné au programme de connectivité fusionné, le procédé consiste à générer un calendrier de transfert couvrant au moins l'intervalle de temps pour le satellite, et à établir au moins une partie du réseau de communication pendant l'intervalle de temps en configurant au moins un routeur du satellite conformément au calendrier de transfert.
