Differential routing for non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite systems

To provide a method of routing data traffic in non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite systems.SOLUTION: The method utilizes, at satellites 102-107, backbone route tables that define different snapshots of time-varying backbone topology of an NGSO satellite system 100.

In addition, the backbone route tables at the satellites 102-107 are active at different times because the backbone topology changes over time. Different routing groups of backbone route tables are defined to realize different routing options for packets arriving at the satellites 102-107.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
