[0079] The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0080] 1. Global signaling beam access design
[0081] The beacon signal and the random access channel are set on the global signaling beam of the traditional high-throughput satellite, for example, Figure 3shown.
[0082] In high-throughput satellite systems, due to the high operating frequency band, large satellite terminal antenna aperture, and narrow user beam width, in order to ensure that the terminal accurately points to the satellite, the signal is designed as a single-carrier continuous spread spectrum signal, transmitting a small amount of public information such as synchronization signals, satellite identification, ephemeris information and other data content. The satellite terminal can use a single-pulse closed-loop tracking mechanism to improve the antenna pointing accuracy, and can also use the beacon signal to perform preliminary system timing synchronization to identify whether the access satellite is a service satellite. In order to achieve initial synchronization from the satellite terminal to the network, the beacon signal is generated by the gateway and broadcast to all users through the feeder link via the satellite transparent repeater. The access signal carried in the global signaling beam is such as Figure 4 shown.
[0083] Satellite terminals request service beams from high-throughput satellites through random access channels. Random access channels are burst signals with short time intervals. All satellite terminals share the random access channel and implement resource competition through a random backoff competition mechanism. The access process is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the details are as follows:
[0084] (1) After the satellite terminal requests the service beam service from the high-throughput satellite system through the random access channel, it immediately enters the search phase for the 5G broadcast signal and starts the random backoff timer;
[0085] (2) When the 5G broadcast signal is found, the satellite terminal immediately stops the random access process and backoff timer and starts 5G network access;
[0086] (3) When the backoff timer times out, the satellite terminal initiates an access request to the high-throughput satellite system again, enters the 5G broadcast signal search phase, and starts the random backoff timer again;
[0087] (4) Until the terminal is connected to the satellite 5G network.
[0088] 2. Satellite terminal 5G access process
[0089] Beacon signals and random access channels are configured on the global signaling beam of the high-throughput satellite. When a satellite terminal needs access, the location of the high-throughput satellite terminal is notified through the access channel. The high-throughput satellite network system adjusts the variable service beam to the user's location to achieve user access. Figure 6 The specific process is as follows:
[0090] (1) The high-throughput satellite system broadcasts a global beacon signal and waits for satellite terminals to access it.

[0092] When the relative maximum value of the satellite beacon is searched, the satellite terminal beam is adjusted to accurately point and begin to parse the beacon signal, update the stored ephemeris data, and judge whether the current satellite is a service satellite. If the current satellite is a service satellite, a random access process is initiated.
[0093] In the random access process, the satellite terminal calculates the relative distance and speed between the satellite terminal and the satellite according to the real-time ephemeris of the satellite, local time, terminal position and the like, estimates the Doppler frequency offset and satellite-ground round-trip delay according to the frequency of the random access channel, pre-compensates the transmission timing and frequency offset of the random access channel, and sends random access signaling to the high-throughput satellite. The random access signaling includes user identity information, terminal position information and the like.
[0094] (2) The high-throughput satellite system continuously listens to the random access channel according to the fixed receiving window, identifies the user identity when the user random access signal is captured, and adjusts the satellite-borne phased array service beam to point to the user's location according to the terminal position information if the user is a legal user. If the terminal user is not a valid network user, the corresponding random access message is discarded.
[0095] (3) In the service beam, the high-throughput satellite system broadcasts 5G-based broadcast messages to users, which include synchronization signals, real-time satellite ephemeris information, system other configuration information (such as PRACH channel configuration and parameters), paging messages, etc., and are synthesized into SIB1 messages and broadcast to users through the phased array service beam.
[0096] (4) The satellite terminal demodulates and decodes the system broadcast message, calculates the relative distance and speed between the terminal and the satellite according to the real-time ephemeris of the satellite, local time, terminal position and the like, estimates the Doppler frequency offset and satellite-ground round-trip delay according to the frequency of the PRACH channel, pre-compensates the transmission timing and frequency offset of the PRACH channel, and sends MSG-1 to the high-throughput satellite system through the PRACH channel on the phased array service beam.
[0097] (5) The high-throughput satellite system measures the PRACH channel to obtain the uplink frequency offset and time offset of the satellite terminal, and allocates channel resources to the satellite terminal according to the user resource demand to form a RAR message and send it to the satellite terminal through the PDCCH channel.
[0098] (6) The satellite terminal waits for the RAR message, attempts to detect the PDCCH (DCI) using the corresponding RA-RNTI within the time period of the RAR window, if the PDCCH of itself is detected, the uplink timing advance and frequency adjustment parameters and uplink scheduling resource information defined in the RAR message are obtained.
[0099] (7) The satellite terminal sends the MSG3 (RRC Setup Request message) to the high-throughput satellite system, the terminal realizes the accurate uplink synchronization between the terminal and the gateway station system according to the uplink timing advance and frequency adjustment parameters in the RAR message, and sends the MSG3 on the PUSCH channel according to the uplink scheduling resource information.
[0100] (8) The high-throughput satellite system sends the MSG4 (Contention Resolution) to the satellite terminal, after receiving and analyzing the satellite terminal identifier contained in the MSG3, the high-throughput satellite system sends the MSG4 on the PDSCH channel, the satellite terminal receives and decodes the contention resolution message contained in the MSG4 on the PDSCH channel, and thus the four-step random access process of the terminal is completed.
[0101] The application realizes the satellite terminal access process based on the 5G standard without affecting the existing geosynchronous orbit high-throughput satellite architecture, solves the problem that the global signaling beam transmission capacity of the high-throughput satellite system is weak and cannot carry the 5G broadcast signal and subsequent signaling access based on the 5G broadcast signal.
