[0001] The present application relates to the field of satellite communication technology, and in particular to a satellite beam scheduling method. Background Art

[0002] Satellite communications have outstanding advantages such as being able to provide communication services to all types of users and having good global coverage. However, due to limited satellite beam resources, with the increasing user demand, there is a contradiction between supply and demand between satellite beams and user demand, and unreasonable satellite beam scheduling methods will lead to waste of resources.

[0003] At present, in order to improve the user demand satisfaction rate and the utilization efficiency of satellite beams at home and abroad, users are often required to submit satellite beam usage plans before using satellite beams. The satellite beam controller performs advance satellite beam scheduling according to the satellite beam status and the satellite beam usage plan submitted by the user to meet the user's needs. In actual applications, users often submit satellite beam usage plans several days or even weeks in advance, which is far from meeting the satellite beam usage plans proposed by users at any time, making the use of satellite beams have certain limitations. The existing method can only schedule tasks whose start and end times are known when the user proposes the beam usage plan, and is not suitable for tasks such as voice communication that must be executed when the task is proposed and the task end time is not clear. That is, the existing technical solution can only be applied to scheduled tasks where users can provide the start and end time of the task, but not to real-time tasks where users can only provide the start time but not the end time, which makes the satellite beam have certain deficiencies in meeting the diversity of user business needs.

[0036] In the solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] In order to better understand the above technical scheme, the technical scheme of the present application is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical scheme of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical scheme of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0038] The satellite beam scheduling method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps (the method flow is as follows: Figure 1 shown):

[0039] Step 101: receiving task information input by a user, and determining a task type according to the task information, wherein the task type includes a real-time task and a scheduled task.

[0040] Specifically, in the solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the scheduled task has the following characteristics: the task start time and the task end time are known, and the task start time is later than the task proposal time; the real-time task has the following characteristics: only the task start time is provided, while the task end time is unknown, and the task proposal time is the task start time.

[0041] For example, since there are two types of tasks, namely, real-time tasks and scheduled tasks, the task information input by the user may be that of a real-time task or a scheduled task, which is not limited here.

[0042] Furthermore, in a possible implementation, if the task type is a scheduled task, the task information includes a first task start time and a first task end time; if the task type is a real-time task, the task information includes a second task start time.

[0043] Specifically, in the solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, due to the different characteristics of the real-time task and the scheduled task, the task information corresponding to the real-time task and the scheduled task is also different. For example, the task information corresponding to the real-time task only includes the task start time, while the task information corresponding to the scheduled task includes the task start time and the task end time.

[0044] Step 102: Process the task information according to a preset resource pre-allocation strategy and the task type to obtain processed task information, wherein the processed task information includes a task start time and a task end time.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the preset resource pre-allocation strategy includes: if the task type is a real-time task, pre-allocating a task end time for the real-time task; if the task type is a scheduled task, reallocating a task end time for the scheduled task.

[0046] Further, in a possible implementation method, the task information is processed according to a preset resource pre-allocation strategy and the task type to obtain processed task information, including: judging whether it is a real-time task according to the task type; if it is a real-time task, determining the end time of the second task, and obtaining the processed task information according to the second task end time and the second task start time.

[0047] Further, in a possible implementation, if it is not a real-time task, a third task end time is determined, and the third task end time is used to replace the first task end time in the task information to obtain the processed task information.

[0048] Specifically, first determine the type of task proposed by the user. For real-time tasks, when the user proposes a task, only the start time of the real-time task can be determined, but the end time of the real-time task cannot be confirmed. Therefore, an end time is assigned to the real-time task through the resource pre-allocation mechanism. For scheduled tasks, its start time is and its end time is. A new end time is assigned to the task through the preset resource pre-allocation strategy. At this point, both the real-time task and the scheduled task have corresponding task start time and task end time. The start time of the real-time task is and the end time is, and the start time of the scheduled task is and the new end time is.

[0049] Step 103: Perform satellite beam scheduling on the processed mission information.

[0050] In one possible implementation, satellite beam scheduling is performed on the processed task information, including: setting a first time point within the task start time and the task end time of the processed task information according to the task start time and the task end time; recording the time point of task execution in real time, and feeding back the execution status information of the task at the first time point; judging whether the task is completed according to the execution status information; if not completed, re-pre-allocating resources for the task and re-setting the first time point until the task is determined to be completed according to the execution status information fed back at the newly set first time point.

[0051] See also Figure 2A timing diagram for performing satellite beam scheduling and generating a beam usage plan for real-time tasks and scheduled tasks is provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, it includes real-time tasks and scheduled tasks. For real-time tasks, the task end time RE assigned to the real-time task by the preset resource pre-allocation strategy is the first time point a, and the task start time RS is carried in the task information input by the user. For scheduled tasks, the task end time NE assigned to the scheduled task by the preset resource pre-allocation strategy is the first time point b, and the task start time NS is carried in the task information input by the user.

[0052] Furthermore, for real-time tasks, since the task start time is the task execution time, after receiving the task information input by the user, the task needs to be scheduled by satellite beam, so the real-time task execution includes two stages: scheduling and execution, where the scheduling starts from the task start time RS and ends at the second time point MPE, and the duration is PT. In addition, the following conditions need to be met for real-time tasks and scheduled tasks: RE-a≥PT and NE-b≥PT.

[0053] Furthermore, when executing real-time tasks or scheduled tasks, task execution status feedback is required before the task end time, such as Figure 2 As shown, at a time before the end time RE of the real-time task, the execution status of the real-time task is fed back. If the task has not ended, that is, the feedback result is yes, the resource pre-allocation is performed again for the task, and the above steps are repeated. Figure 2 As shown, at time b before the new end time NE of the scheduled task, the execution status of the scheduled task is fed back. If the task has not ended, that is, the feedback result is yes, the task is pre-allocated with resources again, and the above steps are repeated. If the task execution status feedback result of the real-time task and the scheduled task is no, the operation is terminated. Figure 3 For a timing diagram corresponding to a real-time task provided in this application, see Figure 4 A timing diagram corresponding to a reservation task provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0054] In the solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the two mechanisms of resource pre-allocation and task execution status feedback can simultaneously meet the real-time tasks and scheduled tasks proposed by users, making the use scenarios of satellite beams more extensive.

[0055] See also Figure 5 , is a key flow chart of task information processing provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5In the process, the task type is first determined, and then the task information corresponding to the real-time task and / or the scheduled task is processed according to the preset resource pre-allocation strategy to obtain the processed task information (resource pre-allocation), and satellite beam scheduling is performed and a satellite beam usage plan is generated according to the processed task information. During the task execution, the execution status is fed back before the task end time, and whether to reallocate the task end time is determined according to the execution status.

[0056] In the solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, different types of tasks are processed into tasks with the same characteristics through a preset resource pre-allocation strategy, and the same satellite beam scheduling method can be used to meet different task types, thereby improving the diversity of satellite beams in meeting user business needs.
