在現代移動通信網絡中，低地球軌道（LEO）衛星在實現全球個人通訊方面起著至
關重要的作用。由於這些衛星在太空中的密集部署，地球上任何地方的用戶都可以
同時被多個衛星覆蓋。因為衛星的移動速度比大多數移動使用者（即使是乘坐商業
飛機的使用者）要快得多，這導致了大量的衛星切換，進而造成巨大的負擔。用戶
在只從其視角觀察到衛星的特定訊息時，需要為衛星頻道而苦苦掙扎。因此，需要
一個全面的衛星換手策略來有效平衡衛星負載並防止網路堵塞。該策略應確保網路
保持高效和可靠，盡量減少超載的風險。此外，必須盡可能降低訊號消耗，以保持
最佳性能並減少不必要的數據流量。通過實施這樣的策略，網路可以在高需求下為
用戶提供無縫和一致的服務。

In modern mobile communication networks, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites play a crucial role in enabling global personal communication. Due to the dense deployment of these satellites in space, users located anywhere on the planet can be covered by multiple satellites simultaneously. Since the satellites travel at higher speeds than most mobile users, even those in a commercial jet, this results in a large number of satellite handovers, which can cause a heavy, leading to significant signaling burden. Otherwise, users need to struggle for satellite channels while they only observe specific information about satellites from their viewpoint. Thus, a comprehensive satellite handover strategy is required to effectively balance the satellite load and prevent network congestion. This strategy should ensure that the network remains efficient and reliable, minimizing the risk of overloads. Additionally, the signaling overhead must be kept as low as possible to maintain optimal performance and reduce unnecessary data traffic. By implementing such a strategy, the network can provide seamless and consistent service to users, even under high demand.
