Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of satellite communication, and in particular to a method for analyzing uplink transmission interruption performance of UAV-multi-orbit satellite. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, satellite communication has attracted significant attention from related industries due to its wide applicability in large-scale broadcasting, navigation, and disaster relief operations. With its inherent characteristics of seamless connectivity and wide-area coverage, satellite communication has become an important enhancement technology for 6G systems. However, it also faces technical challenges such as signal obstruction, significant path loss, and security threats. Particularly in urban environments or mountainous areas, building and terrain obstructions can lead to deep signal fading, affecting communication quality.

[0003] In modern satellite communication systems, the performance of the communication link between satellites and drones is one of the key factors affecting the reliability of the entire system. Due to the complexity of satellite orbit distribution, drone location, and signal propagation environment, the outage probability (OP) of the communication link is an important performance indicator.

[0004] Current methods for analyzing interruption probability have the following limitations: Existing technologies mainly focus on the downlink transmission performance of Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network (SATN) systems, while the uplink transmission performance of cooperative SATN has not been fully studied. This includes insufficient analysis of uplink security performance and inadequate exploration of the impact of spatial randomness on security performance.

[0005] Analysis of the probability of communication link interruption between satellites and drones is usually based on simplified geometric models. These models often assume that satellites are uniformly distributed and have a single orbit, ignoring the complexity of multi-orbit satellite distribution. In practical applications, such simplified models cannot accurately reflect the distance distribution between satellites and drones, especially in multi-orbit satellite systems, where the complexity of satellite distribution can lead to a significant deviation between the actual interruption probability and the theoretical calculation.

[0006] The complexity of the signal propagation environment is not fully considered. Existing technologies, when analyzing the probability of interruption, typically assume an ideal signal propagation environment, neglecting the impact of atmospheric turbulence, weather conditions, and other factors on signal propagation. In practical applications, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of free-space optical communication (FSO) links is significantly affected by environmental factors such as atmospheric turbulence, fog, and rain, leading to discrepancies between the calculated interruption probability and actual conditions. For example, atmospheric turbulence causes fluctuations in the intensity of optical signals, and the Gaussian distribution model commonly used in existing technologies cannot accurately describe these fluctuations.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to improve one or more of the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technical solutions.

[0008] It should be noted that this section is intended to provide background or context for the technical solutions of the invention as set forth in the claims. The description herein does not imply acceptance as prior art simply because it is included in this section. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Optionally, the step of integrating the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of each orbit based on the overlapping interval between multiple orbits, and expressing the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the distance between the UAV and the satellite in multiple orbits in a piecewise manner includes: Based on the overlapping intervals between multiple orbits, the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the distance between UAVs and satellites in multiple orbits are divided into two categories: the case where the satellite is only in a single orbit and the case where the satellite is in multiple orbits simultaneously, and then expressed in a segmented manner.

[0015] Optionally, the step of calculating the probability of satellite communication link interruption by combining the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the distance between the UAV and the satellite in multiple orbits expressed in a piecewise manner with the signal-to-noise ratio distribution characteristics of the satellite communication link includes: The signal-to-noise ratio distribution of the satellite communication link is described using a Gamma-Gamma distribution model.

[0016] Optionally, the step of calculating the probability of satellite communication link interruption by combining the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the distance between the UAV and the satellite in multiple orbits expressed in a piecewise manner with the signal-to-noise ratio distribution characteristics of the satellite communication link includes: Optionally, the step of numerically integrating the calculated satellite communication link interruption probability to derive an expression representing the relationship between the interruption probability and system parameters includes: By utilizing the probability density function of the distance between the satellite and the UAV, combined with the cumulative distribution function of the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio under the Gamma-Gamma model, the interruption probability is expressed as an integral of the square of the distance. A numerical integration method is then used to efficiently calculate this integral, yielding the numerical relationship between the interruption probability and satellite orbital parameters, UAV altitude, and signal propagation environment parameters.

[0017] The technical solution provided by this invention may include the following beneficial effects: This invention uses a closed-form expression for the probability of communication link interruption between a UAV and a multi-orbit satellite to quantitatively analyze the impact of system parameters such as satellite orbital parameters and signal transmission power on the probability of communication link interruption. Through detailed geometric analysis and probability density function derivation, it accurately describes the distance distribution between the satellite and the UAV, making it particularly suitable for systems where satellites are distributed across multiple orbits. This makes the calculation of the interruption probability more accurate and can reflect the complexities of actual communication environments. Attached Figure Description

[0064] Based on the aforementioned analysis method for uplink transmission interruption performance between UAVs and multi-orbit satellites, the following experiment provides a more detailed explanation. Using the derived interruption probability expression, the relationship between the interruption probability and satellite orbital parameters, UAV altitude, and signal propagation environment parameters is analyzed. By adjusting parameters such as satellite orbital inclination, UAV altitude, or signal transmission power, the configuration of the satellite communication system is optimized to reduce the probability of communication link interruption. Specific optimization algorithms or strategies are provided, such as using numerical optimization methods to find the optimal combination of satellite orbital parameters to minimize the system interruption probability.

[0065] Based on the above technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the simulation experimental results will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 6 and Figure 7 Simulation curves of uplink operation (OP) versus transmit power under different system parameters are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed analysis method for system performance evaluation. Specifically, by rationally configuring satellite orbit parameters, selecting appropriate detection methods, and controlling link pointing errors, the probability of uplink transmission interruption can be significantly reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the UAV-multi-orbit satellite communication system. Simulation results are as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown.

When the turbulence is weakest (…), the probability of interruption varies with the transmission power. When the turbulence is at its strongest, the system interruption probability is significantly lower than when the turbulence is at its most intense. The results show that a weakly turbulent environment is beneficial for improving uplink transmission interruption performance. Meanwhile, under the same turbulent conditions, the HD detection method (…) The interruption probability of ) is consistently lower than that of using the IM / DD method ( The interruption probability is lower because HD detection achieves a higher instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, Figure 6 This demonstrates that the method of the present invention can quantitatively assess the impact of different turbulence intensities and receiver detection schemes on the interruption probability, providing a theoretical basis for parameter selection of practical systems in complex atmospheric environments.
