Abstract

This invention proposes a dynamic modeling method for space terahertz communication networks. This method employs a time-varying graph model to characterize the network's dynamic properties from three dimensions: topology, links, and signals. The topology dimension describes changes in node locations and connectivity; the link dimension characterizes performance parameters such as transmission capacity, signal-to-noise ratio, and availability; and the signal dimension focuses on terahertz-band-specific propagation effects such as atmospheric absorption attenuation, Doppler shift, and beam alignment errors. Based on this, an attribute-based time-varying graph aggregation mechanism is introduced. By defining multiple attributes such as nodes, links, and services, and their constraints, topology slices from different times are fused to construct a unified and scalable network dynamic evolution model. This invention improves the modeling accuracy and massive time-varying data processing capabilities of space terahertz communication networks, providing theoretical support and simulation verification methods for network performance optimization.

Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of space technology, space information networks have become an important means of connecting Earth and space, enabling long-distance communication and information transmission. However, the high-speed movement of nodes, dynamic changes in topology, and poor link connectivity in space information networks pose significant challenges to network modeling and analysis. Traditional static graph models cannot effectively characterize the dynamic characteristics of space information networks, leading to numerous difficulties in network performance analysis and optimization. Furthermore, ensuring reliable data transmission is a pressing issue due to the instability and intermittency of communication links in the space environment.
