Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of satellite constellation systems and relates to a joint decision method for frequency interference avoidance zones between satellite constellation systems. Background Art

[0002] Space radio frequency orbital resources are the basis for the construction and operation of communication satellite systems, and have become an important strategic resource that affects the national economy and even national security. In recent years, large-scale low-orbit constellations have set off a wave of rapid construction and deployment around the world. Based on the basic principle of "first come, first served" of frequency and orbital resources in the current international rules system, resources will inevitably become increasingly tight in the future, forming a situation of multiple satellites in close orbit and multiple satellites on the same frequency. With the development and deployment of 5G / 6G, in non-terrestrial networks (NTN, Non-Terrestrial Network), communication satellites have become an important part of realizing the interconnection between the earth and the sky. In the future, in the planning and construction of communication satellite constellations, systematic frequency interference analysis and comprehensive interference avoidance strategy design can accurately predict the potential frequency interference risks between multi-constellation systems and effectively reduce the probability of harmful interference in actual operations.

[0003] For non-geostationary satellite constellation systems, due to the time-varying characteristics of the satellite's spatial position, the communication link between the satellite and ground users also changes over time. Different satellite constellation systems are usually non-cooperative systems. If they use the same frequency band, there is a high probability of co-frequency signal interference. The existing exploration of frequency interference avoidance methods is mainly carried out in three aspects: time domain, frequency domain, and space domain. For the situation between satellite constellation systems, since different constellation systems belong to different operators, the time domain avoidance method requires multi-system operation strategies and real-time data intercommunication, which is difficult to implement. The advantage of the frequency domain interference avoidance method is that it directly avoids the overlap of the working frequency band and effectively reduces the probability of co-frequency interference. However, the disadvantage is that the frequency domain division of the satellite constellation system reduces the frequency band range of a single system. Under the condition of a certain spectrum utilization rate, this division method directly reduces the system capacity and causes direct loss to the system's capabilities. The design of the spatial domain interference avoidance method is based on the fact that the transmitting and receiving antennas used in high-frequency communication systems can form narrow beams, that is, the radiated power is concentrated in the link direction. In this case, different systems only need to consider the co-linear interference when the link angle is small. When the links between systems form a large angle, even if they work at the same frequency, the same frequency capability can be avoided from coupling into the receivers of other systems. In principle, the present invention is based on interference avoidance in the spatial domain, and designs a joint decision method for frequency interference avoidance zones between satellite constellation systems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by the present invention is: to solve the problem of co-frequency interference between satellite constellation communication systems with overlapping coverage areas, a joint decision method for frequency interference avoidance zones between satellite constellation systems is proposed.

[0065] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0066] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the visible airspace division of a satellite ground station. The visible airspace of any ground station (i.e., the area with an elevation angle greater than the minimum communication elevation angle) is divided into smaller cell units, divided into regular hexagonal grids. The cell units are closely arranged, and the centers of each area are arranged in a triangular shape. The azimuth of 0° represents the north direction, 90° represents the east direction, and 180° represents the south direction. The length of the polar axis represents the elevation angle range, and the coordinate center point represents the top of the ground station, that is, the elevation angle is 90°.

[0067] For satellite constellations with multiple coverage capabilities, in order to reduce the risk of frequency interference with other satellite systems, avoidance zones can be set within the visible airspace of the ground station (i.e., cells where the main visual axis of the ground station antenna is prohibited from pointing). Figure 3As shown, some cells in the visible airspace are set as frequency interference avoidance zones, where dark dots represent cells in the visible airspace that the main axis of the ground station antenna is prohibited from pointing to. To set an avoidance zone, a certain number of cells can be randomly selected as frequency interference avoidance zones, or the cells can be sorted from large to small according to the size of the expected value of the satellite appearance, and a certain number of cells can be selected in turn as frequency interference avoidance zones. How to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the two principles followed in setting the avoidance zone, especially when the range of the avoidance zone changes, how to quickly evaluate the effectiveness of the avoidance zone setting in reducing frequency interference, is the key problem to be solved by the present invention.

[0068] The present invention provides a method for jointly deciding frequency interference avoidance zones between satellite constellation systems, and the specific steps are as follows: Figure 1 As shown:

[0069] The first step is to set the satellite constellation system parameters, including orbital inclination, total number of orbital planes, number of satellites per orbit, orbital altitude, minimum elevation angle for ground station communication, latitude of co-located ground stations, receiver noise temperature of the disturbed constellation, and transmit power and bandwidth of the disturbing constellation.

[0070] The second step is to set the cell radius Rcell in the visible airspace of the ground station, and calculate the total number of cells Ncell in the visible airspace according to the minimum elevation angle of the ground station communication. The value of the cell radius Rcell in the visible airspace of the ground station must be greater than the main lobe half-beam angle of the ground terminal antenna of the disturbed constellation system.

[0071] The third step is to calculate the expected Es of the interference constellation satellite in the visible airspace cell, and sort the cells from large to small according to the expectation. The calculation process of the expected Es of the satellite in the visible airspace cell is as follows:

[0072] Ground station T and its visible airspace cell C i The geometric relationship is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the satellite appears in the visible airspace cell C. i The probability of:

[0073]

[0074] in, is the satellite probability density corresponding to the center point of the cell unit, ψ i is the longitude of the subsatellite point when the satellite appears at the center of the cell unit, The latitude of the sub-satellite point when the satellite appears at the center of the cell; The expression is:

[0075]

[0076] Among them, δ is the inclination of the satellite orbit;

[0077] A c is the spherical degree of the visible airspace cell unit of the ground station, and the expression is:

[0078]

[0079] Among them, Δθ ε and Δθ β They are the geocentric angle differences corresponding to the elevation angle difference and azimuth angle difference of the visible airspace cell, which can be calculated from the geometric relationship between the ground station and the visible airspace cell. The expression is as follows:

[0080] θ ε_min =arccos(kcos(ε-R cell ))-(ε-R cell )

[0081] θ ε_max =arccos(kcos(ε+R cell ))-(ε+R cell )

[0082]

[0083] Δθ ε =θ ε_max -θ ε_min

[0084]

[0085]

[0086] Among them, r and R are the radius of the earth and the radius of the satellite's circular orbit, respectively. cell is the visible airspace cell radius, ε is the visible airspace cell C i The elevation angle of the ground station T corresponding to the center point.

[0087] When the total number of satellites is N, for a certain ground station, its visible airspace cell C i The expected value of the satellite is:

[0088]

[0089] Step 4: Initialize the number of cells to be avoided in the visible airspace Nvoid = 1;

[0090] The fifth step is to set the avoidance zone, including two avoidance zone setting strategies: 1. Randomly select Nvoid avoidance zones; 2. Select the first Nvoid avoidance zones according to the expected Es sorting;

[0091] Step 6: For the random selection of the avoidance zone strategy, calculate or count the minimum number of visible satellites Nvis_random; for the selection of the avoidance zone strategy based on the expected Es ranking, calculate or count the minimum number of visible satellites Nvis_rank;

[0092] Step 7: Check if Nvis_random < 1 or Nvis_rank < 1, that is, for the two strategies, the minimum number of visible satellites for either strategy is less than 1. If either strategy is satisfied, go to step 12, otherwise go to step 8;

[0093] Step 8: For the random selection of avoidance zone strategy, calculate the distribution of the interference-to-noise ratio I / N_random of the randomly selected avoidance zone; for the selection of avoidance zone strategy based on the expected Es ranking, calculate the distribution of the interference-to-noise ratio I / N_rank of the avoidance zone selected based on the expected Es;

[0094] The ninth step is to set the frequency interference level determination threshold I / N_th and the probability determination threshold Pth. The preferred setting scheme of the frequency interference level determination threshold I / N_th includes: assigning a value to the frequency interference level determination threshold I / N_th with reference to I / N=-12.2dB recommended by ITU Recommendation S.1323.

[0095] The preferred setting scheme of the probability judgment threshold Pth includes: Pth is set to one tenth of the probability that I / N_rank is greater than I / N_th (0.1P(I / N_rank>I / N_th)), that is, when the interference avoidance effect of randomly selecting the avoidance zone is good to a certain extent, the random selection avoidance zone strategy is selected.

[0096] Step 10: Determine whether the probability P(I / N_random>I / N_th)-probability P(I / N_rank>I / N_th)<Pth is satisfied;

[0097] Step 11: If the conditions in step 10 are met, then for the current Nvoid value, a random avoidance zone selection strategy is adopted; if the conditions in step 10 are not met, then for the current Nvoid value, an avoidance zone selection strategy based on expected Es is adopted;

[0098] Step 12: Add one to the number of cells to be avoided: Nvoid=Nvoid+1;

[0099] Step 13: Determine whether Nvoid < Ncell, that is, whether the number of cells to be avoided is less than the total number of cells in the visible airspace. If this condition is met, jump to step 5, otherwise the avoidance zone joint decision method ends.

[0100] Example 1

[0101] In this embodiment, the joint decision-making scheme design of the interference avoidance zone between constellation A (disturbed constellation system) and constellation B (disturbing constellation system) is considered, and the orbital parameters of the two constellations are shown in Table 1.

[0102] Table 1 Orbital parameters of non-geostationary communication constellations

[0103]

[0104] Constellation A is a near-polar orbit constellation, with the main service area being the polar regions and the secondary service area being the mid- and low-latitude regions. Constellation B is an inclined orbit constellation, with the main service area being the region with latitudes less than 60°. The two constellations overlap in the region with latitudes less than 60°, and there is a risk of co-frequency interference. The following frequency interference avoidance scheme is designed using the joint decision-making method of the ground station visible airspace avoidance zone.

[0105] The first step is to set the satellite constellation system parameters, where the orbital inclination, total number of orbital planes, number of satellites per orbit, orbital altitude, and minimum elevation angle for ground station communication are shown in Table 1. The latitude of the co-located ground station is 50°N, the noise temperature of the disturbed constellation receiver is 270K, the disturbing constellation transmit power is 7dBW, and the bandwidth is 200MHz (assuming that the constellation A and constellation B systems operate at the same frequency).

[0106] The second step is to set the cell radius Rcell=5° within the visible airspace of the ground station, and calculate the total number of cells Ncell=95 within the visible airspace based on the minimum elevation angle of 45° for ground station communication.

[0107] The third step is to calculate the expected Es of the interference constellation satellite in the cell, and sort the cells from large to small according to the expected value. The result is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0108] The fourth step is to initialize the number of cells to be avoided in the visible airspace Nvoid=1.

[0109] The fifth step is to set the avoidance zone, including two avoidance zone setting strategies: first, randomly select Nvoid avoidance zones, and second, select the first Nvoid avoidance zones according to the expected Es sorting. The results are as follows Figure 6 shown.

[0110] Step 6: For the random selection of avoidance zone strategy, calculate or count the minimum number of visible satellites Nvis_random; for the selection of avoidance zone strategy based on expected Es ranking, calculate or count the minimum number of visible satellites Nvis_rank. The results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the minimum number of visible satellites is greater than 8.

[0111] Step 7: Check if Nvis_random < 1 or Nvis_rank < 1, that is, for the two strategies, the minimum number of visible satellites for either strategy is less than 1. If this condition is not met, proceed to step 8.

[0112] Step 8: For the random selection of avoidance zone strategy, calculate the distribution of the interference-to-noise ratio I / N_random of the randomly selected avoidance zone; for the selection of avoidance zone strategy based on the expected Es ranking, calculate the distribution of the interference-to-noise ratio I / N_rank of the avoidance zone selected based on the expected Es. The results are as follows: Figure 8 shown.

[0113] The ninth step is to set the frequency interference level determination threshold I / N_th to -12.2 dB and the probability determination threshold Pth to 1%.

[0114] The tenth step is to determine whether the condition P(I / N_random>I / N_th)-P(I / N_rank>I / N_th)<Pth is satisfied.

[0115] In the eleventh step, since the conditions in the tenth step are met, for Nvoid=1, a random selection avoidance zone strategy is adopted.

[0116] Step 12: Add one to the number of cells to be avoided: Nvoid=Nvoid+1.

[0117] Step 13. If the condition of Nvoid<Ncell is met, jump to step 5.

[0118] Repeat the above steps, when Nvoid=36:

[0119] The fifth step is to set the avoidance zone, including two avoidance zone setting strategies: first, randomly select Nvoid avoidance zones, and second, select the first Nvoid avoidance zones according to the expected Es sorting. The results are as follows Fig. 9 shown.

[0120] Step 6: For the random selection of avoidance zone strategy, calculate or count the minimum number of visible satellites Nvis_random; for the selection of avoidance zone strategy based on expected Es ranking, calculate or count the minimum number of visible satellites Nvis_rank. The results are as follows: Fig.10 As shown, the minimum number of visible satellites is greater than 3.

[0121] Step 7: Check if Nvis_random < 1 or Nvis_rank < 1, that is, for the two strategies, the minimum number of visible satellites for either strategy is less than 1. If this condition is not met, proceed to step 8.

[0122] Step 8: For the random selection of avoidance zone strategy, calculate the distribution of the interference-to-noise ratio I / N_random of the randomly selected avoidance zone; for the selection of avoidance zone strategy based on the expected Es ranking, calculate the distribution of the interference-to-noise ratio I / N_rank of the avoidance zone selected based on the expected Es. The results are as follows: Fig.11 shown.

[0123] The ninth step is to set the frequency interference level determination threshold I / N_th to -12.2 dB and the probability determination threshold Pth to 1%.

[0124] The tenth step is to determine whether the condition P(I / N_random>I / N_th)-P(I / N_rank>I / N_th)<Pth is satisfied.

[0125] In the eleventh step, since the conditions in the tenth step are met, for Nvoid=36, a random selection avoidance zone strategy is adopted.

[0126] Step 12: Increase the number of avoided cells by one, Nvoid=Nvoid+1.

[0127] Step 13. If the condition of Nvoid<Ncell is met, jump to step 5.

[0128] Repeat the above steps, when Nvoid=48:

[0129] The fifth step is to set the avoidance zone, including two avoidance zone setting strategies: first, randomly select Nvoid avoidance zones, and second, select the first Nvoid avoidance zones according to the expected Es sorting. The results are as follows Fig.12 shown.

[0130] Step 6: For the random selection of avoidance zone strategy, calculate or count the minimum number of visible satellites Nvis_random; for the selection of avoidance zone strategy based on expected Es ranking, calculate or count the minimum number of visible satellites Nvis_rank. The results are as follows: Fig.13 As shown, the minimum number of visible satellites is greater than 2.

[0131] Step 7: Check if Nvis_random < 1 or Nvis_rank < 1, that is, for the two strategies, the minimum number of visible satellites for either strategy is less than 1. If this condition is not met, proceed to step 8.

[0132] Step 8: For the random selection of avoidance zone strategy, calculate the distribution of the interference-to-noise ratio I / N_random of the randomly selected avoidance zone; for the selection of avoidance zone strategy based on the expected Es ranking, calculate the distribution of the interference-to-noise ratio I / N_rank of the avoidance zone selected based on the expected Es. The results are as follows: Fig.14 shown.

[0133] The ninth step is to set the frequency interference level determination threshold I / N_th to -12.2 dB and the probability determination threshold Pth to 1%.

[0134] The tenth step is to determine whether the condition P(I / N_random>I / N_th)-P(I / N_rank>I / N_th)<Pth is satisfied.

[0135] In the eleventh step, since the conditions in the tenth step are not satisfied, for Nvoid=48, the strategy of selecting the avoidance zone based on the expected Es is adopted.

[0136] Step 12: Add one to the number of cells to be avoided: Nvoid=Nvoid+1.

[0137] Step 13. If the condition of Nvoid<Ncell is met, jump to step 5.

[0138] Repeat the above steps, when Nvoid=70:

[0139] The fifth step is to set the avoidance zone, including two avoidance zone setting strategies: first, randomly select Nvoid avoidance zones, and second, select the first Nvoid avoidance zones according to the expected Es sorting. The results are as follows Fig.15 shown.

[0140] Step 6: For the random selection of avoidance zone strategy, calculate the minimum number of visible satellites Nvis_random; for the selection of avoidance zone strategy based on expected Es ranking, calculate the minimum number of visible satellites Nvis_rank. The results are as follows: Fig.16 As shown, for the random selection avoidance zone strategy, the minimum number of visible satellites is less than 1.

[0141] Step 7: Check if Nvis_random < 1 or Nvis_rank < 1, that is, for the two strategies, the minimum number of visible satellites in any one of them is less than 1. If this condition is met, jump to step 12.

[0142] The above cycle is repeated until Nvoid=Ncell, and the avoidance area selection decision process ends.
