Abstract
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks will play an important role in the evolving information infrastructure. Satellites in the low earth orbits pr ovide communication with shorter end-to-end delays and efficient frequency usage. However, some problems need to be solved before LEO satellite system s can be successfully deployed. One of these problems is the handover manag ement. The objective of this paper is to survey the basic concepts of LEO s atellite networks and the handover research.
