Multilayer Satellite Network Dynamic Access Technology by Yunhan LI, Jianpeng MA, Xiongwen HE, Shun ZHANG, Hongyan LI

“…Using the characteristics of satellites in diff erent orbits to build a more effi cient multilayer satellite network has become a hotspot in satellite network research in recent years.Traditional satellite network access methods have been unable to meet the needs of multilayer satellite networks with low latency and fl exible access, so it is urgent to design an effi cient random dynamic access protocol for multilayer satellite networks.This paper fi rst summarized the traditional satellite network access technology, clarifi ed the development context of the satellite network random access protocol, and then proposed diff erent low latency for the two diff erent scenarios of ground station access to satellite and multilayer satellite network intersatellite access.The access method could provided a reference for the development of the dynamic access technology of the multilayer satellite network in the future.…”

Network Planning Method and Simulation Analysis for Large-Scale Low Earth Orbit Satellite Constellation Networks by Lixiang LIU, Shuaijun LIU

“…Thanks to the advantages of global coverage, high capacity and low latency, the large-scale LEO satellite constellation networks has become a hot spot for global development.However, planning methods and simulation modeling research for LS-LEOSCN has not been well studied.This paper focused on the following two issues, namely how to evaluate a given LSLEOSCN, and how to design or optimize a constellation network.Three key indicators for evaluating the performance of LSLEOSCN were established, namely network coverage (CT), system throughput (ST) and round-trip time (RTT).Further, the satellite constellation deployment (SCD), gateway station deployment (GSD) were analyzed and designed in the integrated network evaluation and planning (NEaP) platform for LS-LEOSCN.The simulation results showed that the designed NEaP platform could support the development of LS-LEOSCN evaluation and planning.…”

Alternating minimum mean square error hybrid beamforming algorithm in mmWave MIMO system by Min SHEN, Hao XU, Yun HE, Pengguang ZHOU

“…The two-stage hybrid beamforming architecture can solve the problem of limited number of RF chains effectively.However,it is still difficult to design a hybrid beamforming algorithm with better performance.In order to achieve higher spectral efficiency,an alternating minimum mean square error (Alt-MMSE) hybrid beamforming algorithm was proposed.Firstly,the initial digital matrix by using the orthogonal properties of the digital matrix was designed,and then the digital matrix by minimizing the square error of the transmitted signal and the received signal was updated.During each iteration,the phase of the analog matrix could be obtained from the updated digital matrix and the optimal fully digital matrix.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance and is closer to fully digital beamforming than OMP hybrid beamforming algorithm and hybrid processing scheme based on matrix decomposition .…”
