Análise de Rede Brasileira de Comunicação Óptica Integrada com Rede de Satélites LEO

— The simulation of an optical WDM network integrated with a LEO satellite network covering the Brazilian territory is described in this article. The optical network is composed of 44 nodes and 56 links and the satellite network of 14 terrestrial stations, which 5 have interconnection with the optical network, covering the territory by 3 orbital paths. There are links between satellites and terrestrial stations and inter-satellites. Degradation factors of signal quality are considered in the networks, such as rain, PMD and ASE. The performance of the integrated network is evaluated by means of blocking probability of connection request and throughput.
