Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a control method and a terminal for a phased array satellite communication-in-motion terminal. Background Art

[0002] Phased array satellite mobile communication terminal is a mobile terminal device that uses phased array technology to achieve satellite communication. It can maintain a stable communication connection with the satellite in a mobile state, and has the characteristics of high reliability, high data transmission rate and flexible beam pointing control.

[0003] However, the phased array satellite mobile communication terminals currently installed on high-speed moving vehicles (such as trains, cars, and ships) have the following defects when facing the satellite communication needs during long-distance transportation: (1) Transportation vehicles usually have multiple independent communication mobile sub-targets (such as different carriages in a train, cars at different positions in a car queue, and ships at different positions in a ship group), and each independent communication mobile sub-target has communication needs. If each independent communication mobile sub-target uses a phased array satellite mobile communication terminal to establish satellite communication, there will be problems such as high energy consumption and mutual interference of signals; (2) Due to the high-speed moving transportation The tools move fast and are transported over long distances. Single satellite signal communication cannot guarantee the communication quality in this scenario. If satellite communication signal switching technology is used, it is necessary to go through processes such as phased array antenna beam adjustment, satellite signal search and locking. Since beam switching requires a certain amount of time to adjust, and this process is different from the linear adjustment of the phased array antenna beam direction based on the posture of the transportation tool, the switching between different satellite communication signals may have characteristics such as frequent mutations and large beam direction adjustment angles. Therefore, short and frequent communication interruptions may occur during the switching process between satellite communication signals, affecting the continuity of communication.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0062] S400: determining the best satellite communication signal of the mobile target at each sampling point in the mobile route based on the satellite communication quality distribution map and the predicted arrival time of each sampling point in the mobile route, and generating a communication satellite signal switching strategy for the mobile target in the mobile route;

[0063] S500: Send the communication satellite signal switching strategy to each independent communication mobile sub-target in the mobile target, so that each independent communication mobile sub-target controls the phased array satellite mobile communication terminal and the networking communication terminal to perform communication actions according to the communication satellite signal switching strategy.

[0064] It should be noted that the phased array satellite mobile communication terminals currently installed on high-speed moving vehicles (such as trains, cars, and ships) have the following defects when facing the satellite communication needs during long-distance transportation: (1) Transportation vehicles usually have multiple independent communication mobile sub-targets (such as different carriages in a train, cars at different positions in a car queue, and ships at different positions in a ship group), and each independent communication mobile sub-target has communication needs. If each independent communication mobile sub-target uses a phased array satellite mobile communication terminal to establish satellite communication, there will be problems such as high energy consumption and mutual interference of signals; (2) Due to high-speed movement, the mobile terminals are usually equipped with a phased array satellite mobile communication terminal, which can be used to communicate with each other. The transportation tools move fast and the transportation distance is long. A single satellite signal communication cannot guarantee the communication quality in this scenario. If satellite communication signal switching technology is used, it is necessary to go through the processes of phased array antenna beam adjustment, satellite signal search and locking. Since beam switching requires a certain amount of time to adjust, and this process is different from the linear adjustment of the phased array antenna beam direction based on the transportation tool posture, the switching between different satellite communication signals may have the characteristics of frequent mutations and large beam direction adjustment angles. Therefore, in the process of switching between satellite communication signals, short and frequent communication interruptions may occur, affecting the continuity of communication.

[0065] In order to solve the above problems, this embodiment extracts the moving route in the mobile task, predicts the predicted arrival time of the mobile target at each sampling point in the moving route according to the mobile influencing parameters of the mobile route, and then generates a communication satellite signal switching strategy for the mobile target in the moving route based on the communication quality distribution map of the satellite and the predicted arrival time of each sampling point. Finally, the communication satellite signal switching strategy is sent to each independent communication mobile sub-target of the mobile target, so that each independent communication mobile sub-target controls the phased array satellite communication terminal in motion and the networking communication terminal to perform communication actions.

[0066] Therefore, the present invention considers the communication quality changes in the mobile route and the predicted arrival time of the mobile target at each sampling point, allocates the communication task of each satellite communication signal selection duration time to the corresponding independent communication mobile sub-target in the mobile target, forms a communication satellite signal switching strategy, and uses the communication satellite signal switching execution table in the communication satellite signal switching strategy to control each independent communication mobile sub-target to execute the communication satellite signal switching action, so that during the execution of each communication task, only one target independent communication mobile sub-target communicates with the satellite through the phased array satellite mobile communication terminal, and the remaining independent communication mobile sub-targets communicate with the target independent communication mobile sub-target through the networking communication terminal, and then communicate with the target independent communication mobile sub-target through the target independent communication mobile sub-target. The phased array satellite communication in motion terminal with independent communication mobile sub-targets is used to realize satellite communication, thereby reducing the overall energy consumption and mutual signal interference of several independent communication mobile sub-targets in the mobile target; the signal beam control instruction set in the communication satellite signal switching strategy is used to control each independent communication mobile sub-target to adjust the beam pointing in advance to the next assigned communication task after executing the previous assigned communication task, and the advance adjustment of the beam pointing is realized through the discontinuous allocation and sequential execution of communication tasks, which can realize instantaneous or even seamless switching of satellite communication signals, thereby improving the communication quality and communication continuity of the phased array satellite communication in motion terminal when it is loaded on a high-speed mobile transportation vehicle.

It should be noted that, considering that the moving speed of the moving target (such as a train, a car or a ship) is not only related to the environmental impact parameters of each route sampling point, but also to the environmental impact parameters before and after the route sampling point, this embodiment adopts a recurrent neural network model to construct a time series training sample, learn the influence of the environmental impact parameters before and after each route sampling point in the historical moving process on the speed of the current route sampling point, and then predict the moving speed of the moving target in the current moving route, which has high prediction accuracy and environmental adaptability.
