Abstract
Satellite networks must be able to establish new connections, to deliver data packets to mobile users, and to maintain existing connections while guaranteeing their QoS requirements. When a user (calling user) wants to communicate with a satellite user (called user), it sends a connection request to the satellite network being the service provider of the called user. The satellite networks must be able to locate the position of the called user. In this case, location positioning means selecting the satellite that is currently in reach of the called user. Subsequently, it has to send a calling request to the called user and then deliver data when the called user is able to communicate with the calling user. Thereafter, the connection has to be maintained by mobility management.
