[0002] At present, satellite base stations are mainly used in various complex environments such as fire fighting, mountainous areas, forest areas, earthquake relief, emergency communications, etc. The frequent occurrence of natural disasters and emergency rescue have put forward higher requirements on the arrival time, opening method, and operation of on-site satellite base stations. In order to further improve emergency efficiency, satellite antennas need to be easier to operate.

[0003] However, since the satellite base station needs to exchange information with the main station through satellite signals during satellite communication, if there are people or animals passing in front of the satellite station, it will not only affect the transmitted satellite signal, but the high-power satellite signal emitted by the uplink transmission module will also produce large radiation to the human body, endangering human health. In addition, the existing satellite base station mainly uses manual buttons to assist in completing automatic satellite alignment. At night, rain, snow and other bad weather, this traditional operation requires high operating requirements and takes a long time. Summary of the invention

[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in one or more embodiments of this specification, the following will be combined with the drawings in one or more embodiments of this specification to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in one or more embodiments of this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments. Based on one or more embodiments of this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this document.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for realizing an intelligent satellite base station is provided. Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for implementing an intelligent satellite base station provided in one or more embodiments of this specification, such as Figure 1 As shown, according to the intelligent satellite base station implementation method of the embodiment of the present invention, the satellite base station includes an antenna control unit, an ultrasonic module and an AI module, specifically including:

[0034] S101: receiving target satellite parameters sent by a user through an antenna control unit, and controlling a satellite base station to run in the direction of the target satellite according to the target satellite parameters, so that the satellite base station establishes a communication connection with the target satellite.

[0035] The antenna control unit is located inside the satellite base station and is used to receive the target satellite parameters sent by the user. The target satellite parameters include the orbital position of the satellite, the elevation angle of the satellite, the polarization angle, etc. According to the target satellite parameters, the antenna control unit needs to calculate the pointing and rotation angle of the antenna in the satellite base station, and after calculating the pointing and rotation angle, it drives the satellite base station to run in the direction of the target satellite by controlling the driver. During this process, the antenna control unit needs to monitor the position and angle of the antenna in real time to ensure that the antenna can accurately point to the target satellite. When the satellite base station accurately points to the target satellite, a communication connection can be established with the target satellite. During the communication process, the satellite base station needs to send a signal to the target satellite and receive the response signal returned by the target satellite, and then demodulate, power amplify, frequency convert, and noise process the received signal through the channel transceiver equipment to extract useful information.

[0036] Specifically, the antenna control unit needs to obtain the geographic location information of the satellite base station, which is used to locate the satellite base station, including longitude, latitude and altitude. After obtaining the geographic location information, the direction parameters of the target satellite relative to the satellite base station are calculated according to the target satellite parameters and the geographic location information. The direction parameters include azimuth, pitch angle and polarization angle. The azimuth indicates the angle at which the antenna needs to rotate horizontally to point to the target satellite. The pitch angle indicates the angle at which the antenna needs to rotate vertically (relative to the horizontal plane) to point to the orbital height of the target satellite. The polarization angle determines which polarization state the antenna needs to be adjusted to match the reception requirements of the target satellite. According to the calculated direction parameters, the antenna control unit will generate corresponding drive instructions. The drive instructions are sent to the driver in the satellite base station through the control interface. After receiving the drive instructions, the driver will drive the antenna to rotate and adjust according to the specified direction parameters until the antenna accurately points to the target satellite. The satellite base station can establish a communication connection with the target satellite.

[0037] Among them, during the operation of the satellite base station, the antenna control unit will continuously receive the satellite signal sent by the target satellite and obtain the signal parameters corresponding to the satellite signal, and the signal parameters include at least the signal strength. It is judged whether the extracted signal strength meets the preset signal strength threshold. The signal strength threshold is pre-set according to factors such as the communication requirements of the satellite system, environmental conditions, and the orbital position of the satellite. If the signal strength meets the preset threshold, it means that the satellite base station is close to or facing the target satellite. At this time, in order to more accurately find the position with the strongest signal, it is necessary to control the motor of the satellite base station to reduce the running speed, and then search for the maximum value of the signal strength by gradually fine-tuning the direction of the antenna. When the signal parameter reaches the maximum value, it can be determined that the satellite base station has accurately pointed to the direction of the target satellite. At this time, the communication connection between the satellite base station and the target satellite should be the most stable and of the highest quality.

[0038] S102: During the communication process of the satellite base station, the ultrasonic module detects obstructions in the space range corresponding to the satellite base station based on the ultrasonic sensor disposed at a preset position of the satellite base station.

[0039] Existing satellite base stations all manually complete tasks such as target satellite selection, satellite base station alignment, deployment, and collection. In harsh environments such as relatively low temperatures, rainy days, and nights, button operations are relatively cumbersome. At the same time, considering the impact of radiation and obstruction on satellite base stations, on the basis of meeting existing telecommunications specification documents, the satellite base station provided in the embodiment of the present application has a built-in AI module and an ultrasonic detection module. The satellite base station is provided with multiple ultrasonic sensors at preset positions. In actual design, an ultrasonic module is installed on the left and right sides and in front of the satellite base station to achieve accurate detection within a range of 120 degrees and 50 meters in front of the satellite base station. It should be noted that the above-mentioned setting positions and setting parameters are for example only, and this application does not limit this. The ultrasonic sensor is used to capture ultrasonic signals within the coverage space. The ultrasonic signal can detect whether there are obstructions that affect the quality of satellite communications within the space during the communication process of the satellite base station.

[0040] S103: When there are obstructions within the spatial range, an alarm is issued through the AI ​​module, and a first signal control instruction is sent to the antenna control unit, so that the antenna control unit controls the satellite base station to stop uplink transmission according to the first signal control instruction.

[0041] When the ultrasonic module detects an obstruction in the space, the satellite base station will issue a warning through the AI ​​module, prompting the obstruction in front of the satellite base station to evacuate as soon as possible to ensure the rapid recovery of the satellite signal. At the same time, the first signal control instruction is sent to the antenna control unit. After receiving the first signal control instruction, the antenna control unit will stop the uplink transmission of the satellite base station to avoid radiation to the human body or other organisms.

[0042] The ultrasonic module will detect the obstructions within the space in real time. Once it senses no obstructions in front, the AI ​​module will turn off the alarm and send a second signal control instruction to the antenna control unit. The antenna control unit will then turn on the uplink transmission of the satellite base station according to the second signal control instruction, allowing it to continue to carry out satellite communication services.

[0043] It should be noted that in addition to intelligent detection of obstructions, the AI ​​module can also realize voice input of target satellite parameters and voice alarm of satellite base stations. In this way, even in bad weather, there is no need to operate the satellite progress through traditional manual control methods. Only the AI ​​module is needed to realize voice control of satellite base station deployment, collection, satellite change control and other functions, which greatly simplifies the operation of satellite base stations, reduces operating requirements, and makes the application scenarios of satellite base stations more extensive.

Figure 2 As shown, the satellite base station has built-in wireless routing, high-throughput modem, BUC, LNB, battery, 4 / 5G base station, and can realize base station services and WiFi Internet services through high-throughput satellite. The antenna control unit and the modem interact through the OpenamIP protocol, and automatic satellite alignment is completed through intelligent operation or button operation. The power supply module provides power support for the entire communication system to ensure that all components can work normally. Compared with traditional detachable base stations, the satellite base station in the embodiment of the present application adopts an integrated structural design, which does not require any disassembly or assembly. All electrical components are integrated in the electrical compartment inside the antenna base, reducing operating requirements.

[0049] A driving instruction is sent to the driver in the satellite base station, so that the driver controls the antenna of the satellite base station to run according to the direction parameter according to the driving instruction until it points to the direction where the target satellite is located.

[0050] The antenna control unit is specifically used to receive the satellite signal sent by the target satellite and obtain the signal parameters corresponding to the satellite signal; wherein the signal parameters at least include the signal strength;

[0051] Determine whether the signal strength meets the preset signal strength threshold. If so, control the satellite base station to reduce the running speed until the signal parameter reaches the maximum value, and determine that the satellite base station points to the direction of the target satellite.
