[0051] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this specification, and not all embodiments.

[0052] As described in the background section, with the continuous development and optimization of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), satellite positioning has been integrated into all sectors of society and has become an indispensable part. However, with the continuous expansion of industry applications, its drawbacks have also become increasingly apparent: weak signal strength, poor penetration, susceptibility to interference and deception, and easy obstruction and blockage in signal-denied environments such as urban canyons and forests.
[0053] Since the Iridium system was proposed in 1987, low-Earth orbit (LEO) internet constellations have developed rapidly worldwide, and their unique advantages have provided an opportunity to address the shortcomings of existing satellite navigation systems. On the one hand, LEO satellites have low orbital altitudes, low signal spatial loss, high ground strength, and strong anti-interference capabilities, enabling them to provide highly reliable and stable communication and navigation services to users in more areas. On the other hand, combined with navigation enhancement information broadcast through communication links by LEO constellations, and leveraging the rapid changes in the geometry of LEO satellites, precise positioning is more conducive to ambiguity calculation and convergence. Furthermore, by using user navigation location information, the communication signal path between the user terminal and the LEO satellites can be calculated, thereby optimizing beam coverage and power allocation.
[0054] However, existing communication and navigation co-operation systems have failed to fully utilize the communication capabilities and navigation advantages of low-Earth orbit (LEO) constellations to form a unified service system. Therefore, establishing a communication and navigation co-operation system based on a LEO internet constellation, enabling deep integration of communication and navigation, is expected to further improve the performance of existing satellite navigation system PNT services, thereby providing global communication and navigation services.
[0055] To address the problems in existing technologies, this invention proposes a communication and navigation symbiotic architecture design method utilizing low-Earth orbit (LEO) internet constellations, based on the current development status of LEO internet constellations. Specifically, it addresses the current situation where communication and navigation are not deeply integrated in existing service systems, and communication and navigation capabilities need further improvement. On one hand, through frequency integration, information integration, and signal integration, the invention utilizes LEO constellation communication channels to broadcast navigation enhancement information and navigation messages, thereby providing independent navigation capabilities or enhancing the service performance of existing satellite navigation systems. Simultaneously, by utilizing high-precision location information, communication link optimization, beam switching control, and dynamic scheduling and optimization can be achieved, providing users in different scenarios with efficient, reliable, and stable communication transmission.
