Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of satellite-ground communication convergence technology, and in particular to a satellite-ground integrated communication antenna system based on beamforming, which is suitable for high-dynamic, high-speed, and high-capacity satellite-ground communication scenarios such as low-Earth orbit satellite constellations and space-ground integrated information networks. Background Technology

[0002] Satellite-terrestrial integrated communication, as a core component of next-generation mobile communication networks, can overcome the geographical limitations of terrestrial communication and achieve seamless coverage across all regions. Beamforming technology is a key technology for improving the gain of satellite-terrestrial communication links, suppressing interference, and increasing spectrum utilization. Currently, the beamforming schemes of existing satellite-terrestrial integrated communication antenna systems still have many technical shortcomings, making it difficult to meet the real-time, robustness, and stability requirements of high-dynamic satellite-terrestrial communication. Specific problems are reflected in the following aspects: CSI time lag bias leads to beamforming failure: The high dynamic motion of low-orbit satellites and ground terminals causes significant time lag bias in the acquisition of channel status information (CSI) and beam generation in satellite-to-ground communication. The beamforming weights cannot match the real-time channel status, resulting in beam main lobe deviation, gain loss, and increased multi-user interference, which can lead to communication link interruption in severe cases.

[0003] The computing power is not matched with the real-time requirements: the existing system does not adopt a hierarchical deployment mechanism for computing tasks, and the global high-complexity computing and beam-level real-time computing are mixed together, making it difficult to balance global resource scheduling, regional channel processing and on-board rapid response. As a result, the system has low operating efficiency and large response latency.

[0004] Insufficient robustness of beamforming: Traditional solutions lack robust optimization design for time delay, Doppler frequency offset and interference fluctuations, and have not built a full-link closed-loop adaptive optimization mechanism, which cannot dynamically adapt to high dynamic channel changes and has poor anti-interference capability of the link.

[0005] The hardware structure is not sufficiently disclosed and lacks systematic protection: Existing technologies only vaguely mention phased array antenna modules, without disclosing the specific hardware structure, interface specifications and implementation methods of spaceborne and ground antennas. At the same time, there is no targeted protection for the core spaceborne hardware, resulting in insufficient disclosure and a lack of protection scope. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as CSI time delay deviation, mismatch between computing power and real-time performance, insufficient robustness, and insufficient hardware disclosure. It provides a beamforming-based satellite-ground integrated communication antenna system, which fully meets the needs of high-dynamic satellite-ground communication by constructing a three-level collaborative architecture of satellite-ground-cloud, designing a lightweight time delay prediction and real-time compensation module, building a full-link closed-loop optimization mechanism, and clarifying the hardware implementation scheme.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A beamforming-based satellite-ground integrated communication antenna system includes a spaceborne active phased array antenna subsystem, a ground gateway station antenna and processing subsystem, and a cloud intelligent control center. The three are bidirectionally connected through a communication link to construct a three-level collaborative beamforming architecture of satellite-ground-cloud. A hierarchical deployment mechanism for computing tasks is adopted to allocate computing tasks with different real-time requirements to the corresponding levels for execution. The system receives channel measurement data fed back from the terminal and forms a closed-loop optimization mechanism for the entire link to achieve adaptive adjustment of beamforming under high dynamic satellite-ground link.

[0008] This invention adopts a hierarchical deployment mechanism for computing tasks, dividing the system's computing tasks into three levels based on real-time and complexity requirements, thereby achieving optimal matching of computing resources and business needs. The boundaries of each level of tasks are shown in the table below: The cloud-based intelligent control center comprises a data aggregation module, a model offline training module, and a global beam scheduling module. The data aggregation module performs global aggregation and preprocessing of satellite orbit data, ground gateway station channel monitoring data, and terminal multi-dimensional measurement data for the entire constellation. The model offline training module performs offline training and parameter iteration updates of the time-delay prediction model and closed-loop optimization model, and distributes the trained model parameters to ground gateway stations and satellite terminals. The global beam scheduling module dynamically allocates and coordinates beam resources across the entire constellation based on network service requirements and channel conditions.

[0009] The ground gateway station antenna and processing subsystem includes a gateway station antenna array and a regional baseband processing unit. The regional baseband processing unit incorporates a joint robust optimization unit based on the minimum-maximum robust optimization criterion, with the core objective of maximizing the system signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in the worst case. Simultaneously, it constrains the time delay deviation fluctuation range to not exceed 10% of the round-trip time (RTT) of the satellite-to-ground link and the Doppler frequency offset fluctuation range to not exceed 15% of the terminal's maximum Doppler frequency offset. The reference beamforming weight matrix is ​​then obtained and sent to the satellite-borne terminal. The weight coefficients of the constraints are dynamically allocated by the cloud intelligent control center based on historical SINR feedback.

[0010] The spaceborne active phased array antenna subsystem includes a multi-band common-aperture antenna array, a multi-channel transceiver module, and a spaceborne baseband processing unit. The multi-band common-aperture antenna array employs a multiplexed and nested structure, supporting at least one of the Ka / Q / V / Ku / C bands, with 16~128 array elements. The multi-channel transceiver module incorporates an amplitude and phase calibration unit with a calibration accuracy ≤0.5° phase error and ≤0.3dB amplitude error. The spaceborne baseband processing unit incorporates a lightweight time-delay prediction module and a real-time weight compensation module. It receives the reference beamforming weight matrix from the ground, outputs short-term predictions of the time-delay deviation through the lightweight time-delay prediction model, calculates the phase compensation factor for each antenna channel, performs phase rotation compensation on the reference weight matrix, and drives the antenna array to generate the target shaped beam.

[0011] The system constructs a full-link closed-loop optimization mechanism based on the near-end policy optimization (PPO) algorithm. The input is multi-dimensional measurement data such as signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), channel quality index (CQI), Doppler frequency offset, and signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) fed back by the terminal.

[0012] The state space of the PPO algorithm is a vector composed of multidimensional measurement data [SINR, CQI, SIR, Doppler frequency offset], the action space is [iteration step size, compensation coefficient adjustment amount, feedback weight allocation coefficient], and the reward function is: in, The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) weighting coefficient. To calculate the complexity weighting coefficients, satisfying ; The difference in average signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SIR) of the terminal before and after this optimization (unit: dB). This is the normalized value of the computational complexity corresponding to this beam optimization, with a value range of [0,1].

[0013] The closed-loop optimization adopts a dual-trigger mode that combines periodic triggering and event triggering: the periodic triggering interval is 0.8 to 1.5 times the round-trip time (RTT) of the satellite-to-ground link; the event triggering is triggered immediately when the SINR fed back by the terminal is lower than the preset threshold or the beam pointing error exceeds the preset threshold.

The inner patch operates in the high frequency band (Ka / Q) and the outer patch operates in the low frequency band (Ku / C). Dual-frequency independent beamforming is achieved through independent feeding network without the need to increase the array area.

[0017] Multi-channel transceiver topology: It adopts a topology structure of "1-to-N power divider network → digitally controlled amplitude and phase modulation chip → power amplifier (transmit channel) / low noise amplifier (receive channel) → calibration network → antenna unit"; each channel integrates an independent 6-digit digitally controlled phase shifter (0.5° step) and a 6-digit digitally controlled attenuator (0.1dB step) to achieve high-precision amplitude and phase modulation.

[0020] Satellite-to-ground wireless link: Operating frequency band: Ka band (uplink 27.5-30GHz, downlink 17.7-20.2GHz); Modulation method: Adaptive modulation and coding (QPSK / 8PSK / 16QAM / 64QAM), dynamically switching according to channel quality; Synchronization mechanism: Network-wide time synchronization based on GPS second pulse, with a synchronization accuracy of ≤1μs; Heartbeat mechanism: The satellite-borne terminal sends a heartbeat packet to the ground every 100ms. If the heartbeat packet times out after 3 times, the link is considered to be interrupted, triggering the beam switching process.

[0021] Ground-to-cloud link: Adopts a dedicated encrypted fiber optic network with a transmission rate of ≥10Gbps, supports IPSec encrypted transmission, and has a data transmission latency of ≤10ms.

[0022] Data frame format: It adopts a fixed-length frame structure (1024 bytes), which includes a frame header (16 bytes, including timestamp, frame sequence number, and data type), a data payload (992 bytes), and a check bit (16 bytes, CRC32 check).

[0023] System data flow and closed-loop trigger flow Complete data flow path: terminal channel perception → ground gateway station data acquisition → cloud intelligent control center global data aggregation and preprocessing → cloud model offline training and parameter distribution → ground gateway station solves the reference beam weight → satellite-borne end time delay prediction and phase compensation → antenna array generates target beam → terminal receives signal and feeds back measurement data → enters the next round of closed-loop optimization.

[0024] Closed-loop trigger flow: Periodic trigger flow: Arrival at a fixed period → Cloud intelligent control center updates global optimization strategy → Ground gateway station re-solves reference beam weights → Satellite terminal updates compensation coefficients → Beam parameter adjustment; Event trigger flow: Terminal reports SINR below threshold / beam pointing error exceeds limit → Ground gateway immediately reports to cloud → Cloud triggers emergency optimization process → Ground quickly updates baseline weights → Satellite-based terminal provides real-time compensation → Beam parameter correction.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. Accurately solve the time delay deviation problem: Through onboard lightweight time delay prediction and real-time weight compensation, the beamforming weight matches the real channel state, avoiding beam main lobe deviation and gain loss, and fundamentally solving the beamforming failure problem caused by time delay in high dynamic satellite-to-ground communication.

The S4 terminal feeds back channel measurement data, triggering full-link closed-loop optimization and dynamically adjusting beamforming parameters and model parameters.

9. The method according to claim 8, characterized in that: In S2, robust optimization takes maximizing the system SINR in the worst case as its core objective, and constrains the time delay deviation fluctuation range to not exceed 10% of the RTT and the Doppler frequency offset fluctuation range to not exceed 15% of the maximum Doppler frequency offset at the terminal. In S3, time delay prediction uses a single hidden layer LSTM network optimized by pruning, 8-bit integer quantization and knowledge distillation, with 16~32 hidden units and a single-step inference time of ≤50μs; In S4, a dual triggering mode combining periodic triggering and event triggering is adopted. The periodic triggering interval is 0.8 to 1.5 times the RTT, and the event triggering is triggered immediately when the SINR is lower than the preset threshold or the beam pointing error exceeds the preset threshold.
