Implication

Demonstrates a hybrid handover strategy that improves service continuity in low Earth orbit satellites, indicating a balance between stability and link quality.

Key Points

The aim is to develop a low-complexity handover strategy that balances link performance and stability for LEO satellite networks.
Proposes the Hybrid Handover Strategy (HHS) algorithm to minimize handovers.
Utilizes a multi-attribute utility function combining key parameters such as SINR and network load.
Validates the strategy using high-fidelity simulation with real-world data from the Starlink constellation.
Reduces handover frequency by 64% compared to SINR-based benchmarks.
Maintains a service availability of 90.2%.
Achieves lower computational overhead compared to machine learning methods, suitable for resource-limited scenarios.
