Abstract:

Beam hopping (BH) is a crucial technology in the low earth orbit (LEO) satellite system with limited beams number and uneven transmission requirements.However, the existing research only considers the resource allocation of a single LEO satellite, that is, the resource allocation scheme in which one satellite serves one ground area.However, the actual LEO satellite coverage is simultaneously covered by multiple satellites in multiple orbits.Existing schemes only consider the resource allocation of a single satellite, which will cause beam interference between satellites, resulting in a decrease in communication quality and throughput.In response to the above problems, an interference aware cooperative resource allocation scheme for LEO with beam hopping (IARA-BH) was proposed.The basic idea of IARA-BH was to improve the interference distribution and throughput of multi-satellite networks under the constraint of guaranteeing user requirements by coordinating beam interference between satellites.The experiment results show that compared with the single-satellite beam hopping resource scheduling scheme, the multi-satellite cooperative beam hopping resource scheduling scheme can improve the average signal to interference ratio (SIR) by 15.52%, and the system throughput can be increased by 5.72%.

Key words: LEO satellite, beam hopping, resource allocation
