The invention discloses a distributed user association method for guaranteeing user mobility and a time
delay requirement, and belongs to the technical field of
wireless communication. The invention provides a distributed user association method for solving the problem that the user experience quality is reduced due to connection interruption caused by user movement and large
satellite-to-earth link
propagation time delay in a
satellite-earth fusion network. The method comprises establishing a user
base station initial association set according to a
base station coverage range, and dividing different associable
base station subsets according to user mobility and user time
delay requirements; based on the obtained base
station association subsets, setting a
signal-to-
noise ratio threshold value according to the rain-
snow-caused attenuation degree of the
satellite-to-earth link, achieving the user
transmission rate and maximization by using a distributed maximum demand
algorithm under the limitation of the satellite return capacity, and achieving load balancing between the base stations using a matching
algorithm under the condition that the minimum rate demand of the user is met. Through the provided distributed user association method, the
data transmission rate is improved, the user experience is guaranteed, and the load balance between the base stations is realized.
