For the Toronto--Sydney inter-continental connection in an FSOSN with Starlink's Phase 1 Version 3 constellation, when the LISL range is approximately 2, 900 km, the mean network latency and mean average satellite transmission power intersect are approximately 135 ms and 380 mW, respectively.

The results have shown that RAs can make the overall system more resilient to shadowing and fading effects in terms of error performance, and they are energy efficient.

The satellites in these FSOSNs will have limited energy and thereby limited power, and we investigate the effect of link distance and link margin on optical inter-satellite link transmission power, and the effect of slant distance, elevation angle, and link margin on optical uplink/downlink transmission power.

Issues with tracking, precision pointing, and Doppler shift are the major sources of performance loss in laser inter-satellite communication that can severely decrease the coverage and overall performance of satellite constellations.

In the former model, we propose a high altitude platform station (HAPS)-aided mixed RF/FSO/RF communication scheme where a terrestrial ground station intends to communicate with a cluster of nodes through two stratospheric HAPS systems.

In the first phase of transmission, the satellite selects the HAPS node that provides the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
