Furthermore, because the visible arc time with Earth is limited, real-time control is not possible. Therefore, the mission primarily relies on autonomous communication between individual probe nodes. Typically, this involves a pair of communication nodes operating under the same mission, each in an optimal and fixed configuration within a specific scenario. The high-reliability collaborative communication capability among multiple nodes is relatively weak. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The accompanying drawings are provided to further illustrate the invention and form part of the specification. They are used together with the following detailed description to explain the invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. In the drawings: Figure 1 It is a multi-node collaborative access scheduling system based on deep space in-situ communication. Detailed Implementation
[0016] The invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described below. All equivalent modifications made based on the technical solutions of this application fall within the protection scope of this invention. Unless otherwise specified, all components and devices in this invention utilize components and devices known in the prior art.
[0017] Example like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment discloses a multi-node collaborative access scheduling system based on deep space in-situ communication, including a master node and multiple slave nodes connected in parallel. The master node includes: a data management unit (DMU) for providing ground arc segment planning; a link layer protocol control unit interconnected with the DMU for generating call control frames, evaluating link frame overhead, and performing transmission scheduling based on the ground arc segment planning; a forward dedicated Hail unit connected in series with the output of the link layer protocol control unit, with the output of the forward dedicated Hail unit connected in series with the input of each slave node for sending call control frames to each slave node; a forward dedicated service unit connected in series with the output of the link layer protocol control unit and the output of the DMU, with the output of the forward dedicated service unit connected in series with the input of each slave node for sending service frames to each slave node according to set waveform parameters; and a return receiving unit connected in series with the output of each slave node, with the output of the return receiving unit connected in series with the input of the link layer protocol control unit for receiving signals from slave nodes and transmitting them to the link layer protocol control unit; after confirming successful access of the target slave node through the return receiving unit, the link layer protocol control unit controls the forward dedicated Hail unit to stop transmitting and schedules the forward dedicated service unit to send service frames to that slave node.
[0018] After the master node and all slave nodes are powered on, the slave nodes are in a silent state. The master node's "link layer protocol control unit" generates a "slave node 1 call control frame" at a specific time through ground arc planning and sends it to slave node 1 through the "forward dedicated Hail unit". Upon receiving the "slave node 1 call control frame", slave node 1 first parses out the destination node ID. After confirming that the destination node ID matches its own node ID, it continues to parse out the waveform parameters of the forward and return service channels. The service channel waveform parameters include the frequency, rate, modulation method, and coding method of the service channel. After confirming that the waveform parameters are complete, slave node 1 exits the silent mode, sets its receiver to the forward service channel waveform parameters, turns on the transmitter, and sends a Hail response control frame to the master node on the return Hail channel. After receiving it, the master node's "return receiving unit" outputs the Hail response control frame to the "link layer protocol control unit". The "link layer protocol control unit" parses out the source node ID. After confirming that the source node ID matches the ID of slave node 1, it controls the "forward dedicated Hail unit" to stop transmitting signals. The "Forward Dedicated Service Unit" is activated, the waveform parameters of the forward service channel are set, and the service frame with the destination ID of slave node 1 input by the data management system is sent to slave node 1 through the "Forward Dedicated Service Unit". After receiving the service frame, slave node 1 first parses out the destination node ID. After confirming that the destination node ID is consistent with its own node ID, it stops sending signals on the return Hail channel, switches the channel to the return service channel agreed in the "Slave Node 1 Call Control Frame", and sends its own service frame to the master node according to the corresponding waveform parameters.
[0019] After completing the access of slave node 1, the master node's "Link Layer Protocol Control Unit" generates a "Slave Node 2 Call Control Frame" at a specific time through ground arc planning and sends it to slave node 2 through the "Forward Dedicated Hail Unit". Upon receiving the "Slave Node 2 Call Control Frame", slave node 2 first parses out the destination node ID. After confirming that the destination node ID matches its own node ID, it continues to parse out the waveform parameters of the forward and return service channels. The service channel waveform parameters include the frequency, rate, modulation method, and coding method of the service channel. After confirming that the waveform parameters are complete, slave node 2 exits the silent mode, sets its receiver to the forward service channel waveform parameters, turns on the transmitter, and sends a Hail response control frame to the master node on the return Hail channel. After receiving it, the master node's "Return Receiver Unit" outputs the Hail response control frame to the "Link Layer Protocol Control Unit". The "Link Layer Protocol Control Unit" parses out the source node ID. After confirming that the source node ID matches the ID of slave node 2, it controls the "Forward Dedicated Hail Unit" to stop transmitting signals. Then, the service frame with the destination ID of the data tube input from node 2 is inserted into the data stream of the "forward dedicated service unit". After receiving the service frame, node 2 first parses out the destination node ID. After confirming that the destination node ID is consistent with its own node ID, it stops sending signals on the return Hail channel, switches the channel to the return service channel agreed in the "slave node 2 call control frame", and sends its own service frame to the master node according to the corresponding waveform parameters.
[0020] The subsequent connection method for slave nodes is the same as that for slave node 2.
[0021] After two or more slave nodes have successfully connected, the master node's "link layer protocol control unit" will evaluate the link frame overhead sent to each slave node in real time, as shown in equation (1): Link frame overhead (1) in, This indicates the length of the service frame sent to slave node N, in bits. Indicates the control frame length, in bits; This indicates the number of effective bits transmitted per second in the forward traffic channel.
[0022] Subsequently, the master node, the "link layer protocol control unit," sorts the control frames and service frames sent to each slave node according to their chronological order and sends them in a sequential scheduling manner: slave node 1 (control frame -> service frame) => slave node 2 (control frame -> service frame) => ... => slave node N (control frame -> service frame). If the link overhead of the control frames and service frames sent to each slave node is sufficiently small, typically less than or equal to... Then, frames of the same type can be sent up to three times in a row.
[0023] This invention has been implemented and verified in the UHF band transceiver of the TW-3 orbiter. It achieves reliable access and collaborative communication with multiple slave nodes within limited weight and power consumption resources, further improving communication efficiency.
[0024] This invention is low in complexity, flexible in implementation, and can be widely used in in-situ communication for deep space exploration, possessing significant technical and economic value.
