Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular to a communication and navigation integration method for a low-orbit satellite constellation. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of low-orbit satellite communication and navigation technology, the global demand for the coordination of high-precision navigation (positioning, speed measurement and timing) and high-speed communication has become increasingly urgent. In traditional satellite systems, the communication and navigation functions are designed with a separate architecture, which leads to problems such as repeated occupation of spectrum resources, redundant deployment of hardware equipment, and limited efficiency of satellite-to-ground links. For example, communication satellites need to independently occupy specific frequency bands to achieve high-speed data transmission, while navigation satellites rely on onboard atomic clocks and dedicated ranging signals to complete positioning and timing. The separation between the two in signal system, resource scheduling and service mode not only increases the cost of system construction, but also faces common technical bottlenecks such as multipath interference and power consumption surge in complex electromagnetic environments.

[0003] In response to the above problems, the academic community has proposed the concept of integrated communication and navigation design, which realizes functional integration and service efficiency doubling by sharing time-frequency-space multi-dimensional resources. At present, the existing integrated communication and navigation technology mainly relies on ground base stations or single satellite systems. However, due to the limited service capabilities of a single satellite, there are defects such as limited coverage and insufficient dynamic adaptability. Its coverage and data processing capabilities are difficult to meet the future 6G network's needs for global seamless connectivity and high-precision navigation.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the integrated communication and navigation technology based on low-orbit satellite constellations has become a new direction to break through the above bottlenecks. By building a multi-satellite collaborative networking architecture, we can make full use of the global coverage, low transmission delay and high dynamic reconstruction capabilities of low-orbit satellites to achieve deep coupling of communication signals and navigation signals at the physical layer. Compared with traditional methods, multi-satellite collaboration can significantly improve the utilization rate of space resources, enhance anti-interference capabilities, and improve positioning accuracy, speed measurement accuracy and data transmission efficiency. It is suitable for a variety of application scenarios such as smart transportation, drone management, precision agriculture, and emergency communications. Therefore, a communication and navigation integration method for low-orbit satellite constellations is proposed, which can not only provide a more efficient and reliable solution for the future 6G space-ground integrated network, but also promote the integrated development of satellite communication and navigation technologies, improve the intelligence level of global information infrastructure, and lay a core technical foundation for building a 6G ubiquitous intelligent network covering the entire space, land, and sea.
