wireless network,
• Existing solutions that can extend the flight time of drones,
• Potential Applications of LEO satellite-based wireless communications,
• Stochastic geometry basics and its application in the analysis of LEO satellite enabled
wireless networks,
• Using stochastic geometry-based frameworks for end-to-end latency analysis in
LEO satellite-based wireless networks,
• Different routing techniques for LEO satellite communications,
• Novel stochastic geometry-inspired routing techniques,
• Performance of multiple routing techniques in the existing LEO satellite constellations,
• Open research problems in the area of stochastic geometry-based analysis of LEO
satellite-enabled communications.
