Abstract
For the navigation constellations, there are no literatures which focus on the routing algorithm and using probability of inter-satellite link (ISL) from the perspective of autonomous orbit. In this paper, the establishment criteria, routing algorithm and the using probability of ISL in the Walker-δ constellation are analyzed for the purpose of autonomous orbit determination. Firstly, the ISL establishment criteria in Walker-δ constellation are proposed based on the characters of the ISL. Then, the routing algorithm in complete Walker-δ constellation and incomplete Walker-δ constellation is studied, and the calculation formulas for using probability are given later. Finally, in the simulation, the establishment criteria, routing algorithm and using probability are discussed in detail in a specific Walker 24/3/2 constellation.
