[0002] Affected by complex and changeable geopolitical factors, the global layout of low-orbit satellite ground stations is facing severe challenges, resulting in a significant reduction in the timeliness of ground stations for low-orbit satellite control: for example, when a satellite enters a ground station coverage blind area, the ground station has difficulty in timely and effective orbit monitoring, transmission attitude adjustment, and other control instructions for the low-orbit satellite, increasing the risk of satellite operation; at the same time, in terms of low-orbit satellite data backhaul, due to the lack of a sufficient number of reasonably distributed ground stations, a large amount of observation data cannot be timely downloaded, seriously affecting the real-time and integrity of the data, and thus limiting the application efficiency of low-orbit satellites in fields such as disaster warning, real-time communication, and other fields with high requirements for data timeliness.

[0029] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0030] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a low-orbit satellite data communication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 indicated, the specific process of the low-orbit satellite data communication method includes:

[0031] S110, the 5G base station determines a first scheduled user equipment from a plurality of low-orbit satellite user equipments according to telemetry service requirements; and determines link quality data corresponding to the first scheduled user equipment through ephemeris information corresponding to the first scheduled user equipment and high-orbit relay satellite ephemeris information.

[0032] Among them, the telemetry service requirement is the upcoming telemetry service period, and the 5G base station determines the first scheduled user equipment from the plurality of low-orbit satellite user equipments according to the telemetry service requirement, that is, determines the N low-orbit satellite user equipments that will arrive at the telemetry service period as the first scheduled user equipment.

[0033] The link quality data is, for example, the link quality SNR (signal-to-noise ratio). The determination of the link quality data corresponding to the first scheduled user equipment through the ephemeris information corresponding to the first scheduled user equipment and the high-orbit relay satellite ephemeris information can include: calculating the relative position relationship between the first scheduled user equipment and the high-orbit relay satellite according to the orbit parameters of the first scheduled user equipment and the orbit parameters of the high-orbit relay satellite; in combination with the signal transmission frequency and the antenna directivity, evaluating the propagation loss and interference of the communication link of the first scheduled user equipment; inputting the relative position relationship between the first scheduled user equipment and the high-orbit relay satellite, the propagation loss and interference of the communication link of the first scheduled user equipment into a signal-to-noise ratio model to obtain the link quality SNR.

[0034] In addition, the 5G base station can also calculate the dynamic position of the low-orbit satellite user equipment through the ephemeris information of the low-orbit satellite user equipment, which can be used to determine the pointing direction of the high-orbit relay satellite beam to improve the communication quality and signal coverage range, achieve weather forecasting and earth observation, etc.

[0035] S120, the 5G base station determines a second scheduled user equipment from the first scheduled user equipment according to the link quality data; and determines a target scheduled user equipment according to a scheduling priority corresponding to the second scheduled user equipment.

[0036] The 5G base station determines the second scheduling user equipment from the first scheduling user equipment according to the link quality data, for example, selects M low-orbit satellite user equipments with the maximum link quality SNR (e.g., exceeding a preset SNR threshold) from the first scheduling user equipment (i.e., the N low-orbit satellite user equipments mentioned above) as the second scheduling user equipment.

[0037] In some embodiments, the 5G base station determines the target scheduling user equipment according to the scheduling priority corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment, including:

[0038] The 5G base station obtains the average service rate of the current telemetry service rate and the historical telemetry service rate corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment, and determines the scheduling priority corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment according to the average service rate of the current telemetry service rate and the historical telemetry service rate corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment. The 5G base station selects the scheduling user equipment with a high scheduling priority from the second scheduling user equipment according to the scheduling priority corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment, and determines the scheduling user equipment with a high scheduling priority as the target scheduling user equipment.

[0039] The scheduling priority corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment can be measured according to the ratio of the average service rate of the current telemetry service rate and the historical telemetry service rate corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment. The larger the ratio of the average service rate of the current telemetry service rate and the historical telemetry service rate corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment, the higher the scheduling priority corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment. The smaller the ratio of the average service rate of the current telemetry service rate and the historical telemetry service rate corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment, the lower the scheduling priority corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment.

[0040] The 5G base station can select one or more scheduling user equipments with a high scheduling priority (e.g., a priority greater than a preset priority level) from the second scheduling user equipment as the target scheduling user equipment. Thus, the target scheduling user equipment with a high priority level can obtain better resource allocation in the low-orbit satellite communication environment, ensuring efficient transmission of telemetry services.

[0041] S130, when the 5G base station detects that the telemetry service period of the target scheduling user equipment arrives, the 5G base station sends a PDCCH channel carrying PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information in a PDCCH receiving window.

[0042] The PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is dynamically allocated by the 5G base station according to the link quality data corresponding to the target scheduling user equipment. The PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information can include time-frequency resources and code rates.

[0043] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0044] The 5G base station analyzes the current channel state and channel interference information of the target scheduling user equipment according to the link quality data of the target scheduling user equipment, and dynamically allocates the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information corresponding to the target scheduling user equipment according to the current residual time-frequency resource, the current channel state and channel interference information of the target scheduling user equipment.

[0045] The 5G base station can evaluate the stability and interference degree of the channel by combining the link quality data of the target scheduling user equipment with historical transmission records and real-time monitoring results to obtain the current channel state and channel interference information of the target scheduling user equipment. The better the current channel state of the target scheduling user equipment and the smaller the channel interference indicated by the channel interference information, the more time-frequency resources and the larger code rate can be dynamically allocated. The worse the current channel state of the target scheduling user equipment and the larger the channel interference indicated by the channel interference information, the less time-frequency resources and the smaller code rate can be dynamically allocated.

[0046] Therefore, by accurately analyzing the link quality data, the 5G base station can adjust the scheduling strategy in real time to ensure the best performance of the target scheduling user equipment under different channel conditions, effectively improve the resource utilization efficiency and transmission reliability of the communication system, and further improve the efficiency of satellite data communication.

[0047] S140, the target scheduling user equipment continuously detects whether the corresponding PDCCH channel carrying the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is received within the PDCCH receiving window, and when the corresponding PDCCH channel carrying the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is received, the target scheduling user equipment sends the PUSCH channel carrying the telemetry service data to the 5G base station, and / or sends the PUSCH channel carrying the data transmission service data to the 5G base station.

[0048] The target satellite user equipment can be used as an access node of the communication system, and can be used as a receiving end of remote control services, a sending end of telemetry services, and a data source of data transmission services. The target satellite user equipment is equipped with a 5G terminal chip, which can filter, denoise, convert digital signals and analog signals, modulate and demodulate, encode and decode, and perform physical layer protocol, link layer protocol, and network layer protocol processing on 5G wireless signals.

[0049] The target scheduling user equipment can continuously blind detect whether the 5G base station sends the PDCCH channel carrying the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information to itself in the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) receiving window of the preconfigured telemetry service period. When the PDCCH channel carrying the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is received, the telemetry service data and / or the data transmission service data are sent through the PDCCH dynamic scheduling PUSCH channel.

[0050] If the target scheduling user equipment detects the PDCCH dynamic scheduling PUSCH channel, the user needs to continuously open the PDCCH blind detection until the telemetry service data and / or the data transmission service data are completely sent. The telemetry service data can include but is not limited to satellite operation state information, orbit parameters, energy management system data, thermal control system data, attitude control system data, and payload working state information. The data transmission service data can include but is not limited to satellite image data, meteorological observation data, navigation positioning data, communication service data, and scientific research experiment data.

[0051] Some embodiments further include:

[0052] If the target scheduling user equipment does not receive the PDCCH channel carrying the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information, the corresponding device state is set to a sleep state in a preset period.

[0053] If the target scheduling user equipment does not detect the PDCCH in the preconfigured telemetry service period, it can be set to enter a device sleep state at other times (in a telemetry service period) to greatly reduce the power consumption of the user side device.

[0054] S150, when the 5G base station receives the PUSCH channel carrying the telemetry service data, the telemetry service data is processed by data demodulation and decoding, and the telemetry service data is forwarded to the third party central device through the core network; and / or, when the 5G base station receives the PUSCH channel carrying the data transmission service data, the data transmission service data is processed by data demodulation and decoding, and the data transmission service data is forwarded to the third party central device through the core network.

[0055] The 5G base station deployed on the ground receives the back wireless signal (i.e. PUSCH channel) sent by the user, and performs demodulation, decoding and other operations on the signal, restores the original data and transmits it to the external data network through the core network, and finally reaches the third party customer center (i.e. third party central device).

[0056] The 5G core network is responsible for authenticating and authorizing the identity of the user terminal, and recording the location and state of the user terminal by processing the location area registration process of the user terminal. The 5G core network can also select the optimal data transmission path according to the destination address of the data and the network policy, and forward the data to the user terminal or to the external data network. In the process of high-speed movement of the user, the 5G core network can also ensure the continuity of communication through mobility management. The external data network is an external network relative to the 5G network, which is responsible for routing data transmission service data to the final third-party customer center.

[0057] In this embodiment, the 5G base station determines the first scheduled user equipment from the plurality of low-orbit satellite user equipments according to the telemetry service requirement; and determines the link quality data corresponding to the first scheduled user equipment through the ephemeris information corresponding to the first scheduled user equipment and the ephemeris information of the high-orbit relay satellite; the 5G base station determines the second scheduled user equipment from the first scheduled user equipment according to the link quality data; and determines the target scheduled user equipment according to the scheduling priority corresponding to the second scheduled user equipment; when the 5G base station detects that the telemetry service period of the target scheduled user equipment arrives, the 5G base station sends the PDCCH channel carrying the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information in the PDCCH receiving window, and the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is dynamically allocated by the 5G base station according to the link quality data corresponding to the target scheduled user equipment; the target scheduled user equipment continuously detects whether the corresponding PDCCH channel carrying the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is received in the PDCCH receiving window; and when the corresponding PDCCH channel carrying the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is received, the target scheduled user equipment sends the PUSCH channel carrying the telemetry service data to the 5G base station; and / or, the target scheduled user equipment sends the PUSCH channel carrying the data transmission service data to the 5G base station; when the 5G base station receives the PUSCH channel carrying the telemetry service data, the 5G base station performs data demodulation and decoding processing on the telemetry service data, and forwards the telemetry service data to the third-party center equipment through the core network; and / or, when the 5G base station receives the PUSCH channel carrying the data transmission service data, the 5G base station performs data demodulation and decoding processing on the data transmission service data, and forwards the data transmission service data to the third-party center equipment through the core network. In this way, the low-orbit satellite user does not need to initiate a data transmission request through a random access method, and the 5G base station deployed on the ground can obtain link quality data using the ephemeris information of the low-orbit satellite user and the ephemeris of the high-orbit relay satellite, and dynamically allocate channel dynamic scheduling information according to the link quality data. The 5G base station can effectively improve the efficiency of low-orbit satellite data communication.

[0058] In some embodiments, before the target scheduled user equipment sends the PUSCH channel carrying the telemetry service data to the 5G base station, it further includes:

[0059] If the target scheduling user equipment detects that there is currently first to-be-transmitted service data, the target scheduling user equipment generates corresponding BSR information according to the first to-be-transmitted service data; and the target scheduling user equipment adds the BSR information corresponding to the first to-be-transmitted service data into the PUSCH channel carrying the telemetry service data.

[0060] The first to-be-transmitted service data can be used to describe telemetry service data and / or telemetric service data that still need to be transmitted in the current state of the target scheduling user equipment. If the user still has telemetric service data and / or telemetry service data to be transmitted at this time, the amount of telemetric service data and telemetry service data that still need to be transmitted is notified to the 5G base station in the form of adding BSR (Buffer Status Report) information corresponding to the first to-be-transmitted service data on the PUSCH channel.

[0061] In some embodiments, before the target scheduling user equipment sends the PUSCH channel carrying the telemetric service data to the 5G base station, the target scheduling user equipment further includes:

[0062] If the target scheduling user equipment detects that there is currently second to-be-transmitted service data, the target scheduling user equipment generates corresponding BSR information according to the second to-be-transmitted service data; and the target scheduling user equipment adds the BSR information corresponding to the second to-be-transmitted service data into the PUSCH channel carrying the telemetric service data.

[0063] The second to-be-transmitted service data can be used to describe telemetry service data and / or telemetric service data that still need to be transmitted in the current state of the target scheduling user equipment. If the user still has telemetric service data and / or telemetry service data to be transmitted at this time, the amount of telemetric service data and telemetry service data that still need to be transmitted is notified to the 5G base station in the form of adding BSR information corresponding to the second to-be-transmitted service data on the PUSCH channel.

[0064] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0065] If the PUSCH channel carrying the telemetry service data received by the 5G base station contains the BSR information corresponding to the first to-be-transmitted service data, the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is updated according to the first to-be-transmitted service data; and if the PUSCH channel carrying the telemetric service data received by the 5G base station contains the BSR information corresponding to the second to-be-transmitted service data, the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is updated according to the second to-be-transmitted service data.

[0066] If the 5G base station receives a BSR in the PUSCH channel carrying telemetry service data and / or data transmission service data of a low-orbit satellite user, the 5G base station can update the dynamic time-frequency resource and code rate configuration of the PUSCH channel according to the BSR, so that the subsequent PUSCH carries either telemetry service data or data transmission service data.

[0067] In summary, the embodiment eliminates the process of 5G random access in the conventional mode, saves the energy consumption of multiple rounds of air interface signaling interaction in the random access process: the user does not need to perform operations such as random access preamble sending, frequent activation of the radio frequency module (for listening to the base station response), synchronization calculation (time / frequency offset adjustment), etc., which will repeatedly consume energy when access fails; at the same time, the energy consumption of the high-orbit relay satellite forwarding related signaling is saved. The access delay is greatly reduced, and the real-time performance is improved: the random access process itself has inherent delay (including preamble sending, base station response, contention resolution, etc.), and if the process is omitted, the start delay of uplink data / signaling can be greatly compressed. Reducing air interface resource waste and improving spectrum efficiency: in the random access process, the preamble, random access response (RAR), contention resolution signaling, etc. will occupy dedicated air interface resources (such as PRACH channel, signaling resources in PDSCH / PUSCH), and conflict retransmission will further consume resources; after omission, these resources can be released for transmission of actual service data, especially in high-load scenarios, which can reduce resource congestion caused by the access process and improve the overall network throughput.

[0068] Figure 2 A structure diagram of a low-orbit satellite data communication system provided by the embodiment is shown in FIG. 1. The low-orbit satellite data communication system can include a 5G base station 210 and a target scheduling user equipment 220.

[0069] The 5G base station 210 is configured to determine a first scheduling user equipment from a plurality of low-orbit satellite user equipments according to telemetry service requirements; determine link quality data corresponding to the first scheduling user equipment through ephemeris information corresponding to the first scheduling user equipment and high-orbit relay satellite ephemeris information; determine a second scheduling user equipment from the first scheduling user equipment according to the link quality data; determine a target scheduling user equipment according to a scheduling priority corresponding to the second scheduling user equipment; and when detecting that a telemetry service period of the target scheduling user equipment arrives, send a PDCCH channel carrying PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information in a PDCCH receiving window, wherein the PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is obtained by the 5G base station dynamically according to the link quality data corresponding to the target scheduling user equipment.

[0070] The target scheduling user equipment 220 is configured to continuously detect whether the corresponding PDCCH channel carrying PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is received within a PDCCH receiving window, and transmit the PUSCH channel carrying telemetry service data to the 5G base station, and / or transmit the PUSCH channel carrying data transmission service data to the 5G base station when the corresponding PDCCH channel carrying PUSCH channel dynamic scheduling information is received.
