Abstract

This invention discloses a geometric representation method for the topology of a space-based terahertz communication network. A network element model is constructed, using GEO constellations, LEO platforms, near-space platform clusters, and ground stations as nodes, forming an initial topology based on terahertz communication links. A high-dimensional geometric space is defined, mapping the dynamic topological relationships of network elements to a measurable geometric space. Considering the characteristics of the terahertz frequency band, time-series data of nodes are collected, and the covariance matrix is ​​estimated using information geometry methods. The geodesic distance between nodes is calculated using Fisher information metrics, mapping the time-varying network state to feature points or vectors in the geometric space. A high-dimensional geometric network is constructed based on a geodesic distance threshold. By adjusting the threshold, network sparsity is controlled, obtaining topological representations of different granularities. This invention significantly improves the modeling accuracy and interpretability of complex topologies, providing a unified theoretical framework and technical support for network design and performance optimization.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of satellite communication network technology, and in particular to a geometric representation method for the topology of a space terahertz communication network. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, space-based terahertz communication networks have gradually become a research hotspot. However, current network topology representation methods have limitations when facing the complexity and dynamics of space-based terahertz communication networks. Most existing methods can only handle univariate time series (UTS) and cannot effectively cope with the rich information and complex interrelationships contained in multivariate time series (MTS). In space-based terahertz communication networks, the data generated by multiple sensors or nodes are often multidimensional and interconnected, thus requiring a method that can process MTS and accurately represent the network topology space.

[0003] Information geometry provides a powerful tool for studying such problems. It combines mathematics with probability theory, particularly applying methods from differential geometry to probability theory, enabling the definition and computation of geodesic distances between data points. This is crucial for understanding the intrinsic structure and similarities of data. However, applying information geometry to the geometric representation of the topological space of spatial terahertz communication networks remains a challenge, requiring the development of new methods to handle the complexity and dynamics of such networks.

These time-series data are then converted into points or vectors in geometric space using information geometry methods. Specifically, the time-series data is represented by estimating the covariance matrix, and the geodesic distance between covariance matrices is calculated using Fisher's information metric, thereby obtaining points or vectors in geometric space.

[0010] Calculate the geodesic distance between any two nodes i and j in the covariance matrix space using Fisher's information metric: Where C1 and C2 are two covariance matrices, It is the geodesic distance between them, and tr represents the trace of the matrix.

[0011] S4. Construct a geometric network. Based on the points or vectors obtained in the geometric space in the previous step, construct a geometric network. Nodes correspond to network elements, and edges correspond to pairs of points whose geodesic distance between nodes is less than a certain threshold. By adjusting the threshold, the sparsity of the network can be controlled.

[0012] In S2, the phase space reconstruction method is used to convert univariate time series data into high-dimensional state vectors and estimate the covariance matrix; given the univariate time series data of node i...
