Abstract: Availability of data anywhere, anytime and to anyone is the need of the current generation. One approach to cater this growing demand is using Satellite communication, especially Low Earth Orbit Small Satellites Network (LEOSSN) [14] [15]. LEOSSN with formation flying have worldwide coverage capabilities providing ubiquitous data. One of the technical challenges is in designing efficient routing algorithms to route network traffic in LEOSSN. The protocols are discussed with respect to traffic prediction, loading conditions, virtual network, QoS parameters, delay and packet loss. This paper provides the survey of the routing protocols which provides a baseline for improvisation or development of new routing techniques.
Keywords: Satellite Communication, LEO Satellite Network, Routing Protocols, Qos Parameters, Packet Loss, Traffic And Loading Conditions, Shortest Path Algorithm (SPT).
