This is a new Mobicom 2024 paper [1] in which the authors "propose SHORT, a Stable Hierarchical Orbital Routing Technique to decouple, localize, and mask multi-dimensional dynamics from operational LEO networks. SHORT takes a geographic paradigm to organize the LEO network as stable hierarchical routing domains, split heterogeneous LEO

dynamics into each domain, mask them with domain-speci"c routing via orbital-geodetic coordinates, and localize adaptions to orbital maneuvers, random failures, and partial deployments. SHORT can work incrementally as a control-plane overlay to enhance existing LEO routing proposals. Our evaluations with the U.S. Space Surveillance Network datasets and prototype validate SHORT’s near-optimal availability, efficiency, and resiliency in operational LEO networks"
