步骤201，核心网经由星间链路或星内链路通过第一通信卫星与用户设备UE进行通信。
在本公开实施例中，将核心网和业务服务器均设置于星际空间，即将核心网和业务服务器均设置于通信卫星上，当卫星终端或用户设备通过地面站与接入卫星通信时，接入卫星接收到接入通信信号后，直接在星际间为用户设备进行通信接入，不必再将用户设备的通信请求转向地面的核心网中进行处理，从而缩短了卫星通信的连接链路，从而提升卫星通信系统的通信质量。
在本公开实施例中，所述星内链路为在位于同一个通信卫星内的通信接口或数据接口之间建立的连接链路。
步骤202，核心网经由星间链路或星内链路与业务服务器进行通信。
本公开实施例中，当核心网接收到用户设备发送的通信请求后，核心网基于星间链路或星内链路接收第一通信卫星发送的UE或卫星终端的通信请求，响应于所述通信请求，基于星间链路或星内链路将所述通信请求向业务服务器转发，接收到所述业务服务器发送的基于所述通信请求的响应后，基于通过所述第一通信卫星向所述UE或卫星终端发送所述响应。这里，第一通信卫星作为UE或卫星终端的接入卫星，接收卫星终端发送的通信请求，或接收卫星地面站转发的UE的通信请求。
作为一种实现方式，所述通信请求中携带有目标UE或目标卫星终端的标识信息；所述核心网基于所述通信请求，确定所述UE或卫星终端的标识需与所述目标UE或目标卫星终端的标识建立连接时，查找所述目标UE或目标卫星终端接入的目标通信卫星，通过星间链路或星内链路将所述通信请求向所述目标通信卫星转发，并在接收到所述目标通信卫星转发的所述 目标UE或目标卫星终端的同意建立通信连接的响应后，使所述UE或卫星终端与所述目标UE或目标卫星终端之间建立通信链路。本公开实施例中，所述目标通信卫星可以为第一通信卫星，此时，所述目标UE或目标卫星终端与通信请求发起的UE或卫星终端均在第一通信卫星覆盖下的接入范围内。当然，目标通信卫星也可以是不同于第一通信卫星的其他通信卫星。
核心网基于星间链路或星内链路接收第一通信卫星发送的UE的业务请求，响应于所述业务请求，将所述业务请求向业务服务器转发，业务服务器根据UE的业务请求，通过核心网及第一通信卫星与所述UE建立通信链路，为所述UE提供相应的通信业务。
本公开实施例中，核心网也可以主动通过第一通信卫星向卫星地面站或卫星终端广播相应的系统广播消息，以便UE和卫星终端基于系统广播消息接收网络侧的指示信息。
图3是根据一示例性实施例示出的卫星通信架构示意图，如图3所示，在本公开实施例中，所述核心网和所述业务服务器均设置于所述第一通信卫星中。也就是说，本通信架构中，第一通信卫星即作为接入卫星使用，同时，所述核心网和所述业务服务器均设置于第一通信卫星中，所述核心网与第一通信卫星之间通过星内链路建立连接，如所述核心网与第一通信卫星之间通过有线接口通过传输数据线而直接连接；或者，通过类似近场通信方式的无线接口连接。所述核心网与所述业务服务器之间通过有线接口通过传输数据线而直接连接；或者，所述核心网与所述业务服务器之间也通过类似近场通信方式的无线接口连接。作为接入卫星的其他的通信卫星，可以通过星间链路与第一通信卫星连接，以接入所述核心网。这样，其他的通信卫星即可为该通信卫星覆盖下的UE或卫星终端提供基于通信卫星的通信业务。
图4是根据一示例性实施例示出的卫星通信架构示意图，如图4所示， 在本公开实施例中，所述核心网和所述业务服务器均设置于第二通信卫星中；其中，所述第一通信卫星和所述第二通信卫星之间基于星间链路连接。
或者，作为一种实现方式，所述核心网设置于所述第一通信卫星中，所述业务服务器设置于第二通信卫星中。
作为一种实现方式，所述第一通信卫星和所述第二通信卫星为同轨道通信卫星；或
所述第一通信卫星为第一轨道通信卫星，所述第二通信卫星为第二轨道通信卫星。
本公开实施例中，当所述第一通信卫星和所述第二通信卫星为不同的轨道卫星时，所述第一通信卫星为近地轨道卫星，所述第二通信卫星为远地轨道卫星；或者，所述第一通信卫星为远地轨道卫星，所述第二通信卫星为近地轨道卫星。

其中，所述第二通信卫星和所述第一通信卫星之间基于星间链路连接，所述第三通信卫星和所述第二通信卫星之间基于星间链路连接。
在一个实施例中，所述第二通信卫星、所述第三通信卫星和所述第一通信卫星为同轨道通信卫星，如图5所示的架构。
或者，作为一种实现方式，所述第一通信卫星为第一轨道通信卫星，所述第二通信卫星和所述第三通信卫星为第二轨道通信卫星；如图6所示的架构。图6中示意出的位于不同通信卫星上的核心网，是指核心网可以单独设置于某通信卫星上，或核心网和业务服务器一起设置于某通信卫星上，不意味着需设置多个核心网。
或者，作为一种实现方式，所述第二通信卫星和所述第一通信卫星为第一轨道卫星，所述第三通信卫星为第二轨道卫星。
或者，作为一种实现方式，所述第一通信卫星为第一轨道通信卫星，所述第二通信卫星为第二轨道通信卫星，所述第三通信卫星为第三轨道通信卫星。在本公开实施例中，第一轨道、第二轨道和第三轨道为距离地面距离不同的运转轨道。
