The recent development of the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation construction has accelerated the research on applications associated with LEO satellites. One such typical application is to transmit high-resolution remote-sensing images from LEO satellites to ground stations (GS). However, the stringent visible time and the complicated antenna manipulation between LEO satellites and GS makes it challenging for a LEO satellite to complete its full transmission mission within a specified stringent deadline. As such, this paper introduces a geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) satellite as a relay and explores the distributed coding-decoding schemes to assist reliable and high-speed transmission. Specifically, four types of GEO-satellite-relay coded schemes are proposed and analyzed, including three PHY-only coding systems with GEO-full-decoding on board, decoding on ground only, and GEO-partial-decoding on board and one layered coding system. Through simulations, the comparative insights among the four schemes are provided from three dimensions: effectiveness, reliability, and relay complexity. The trade-offs concerning the four schemes in terms of the three indexes are also revealed.
