Multi-satellite multi-ground station resource collaborative allocation management method for regional targets
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of spatial information, mainly relates to cooperative distribution management of satellite and ground station resources, and particularly relates to a coverage area target-oriented multi-satellite multi-ground station cooperative distribution resource management method which can be used for task planning and scheduling of a ground observation satellite system.
Background
The earth observation satellite system is an important infrastructure in China, and the main working process mainly comprises two stages of earth observation and data unloading. Specifically, the ground image information is acquired by various sensors equipped in the observation satellite and is unloaded to the ground station. However, the contradiction between the requirement of the drastic observation task and the scarcity of resources such as observation satellites, ground stations and the like is increasingly prominent. In order to alleviate the contradiction, it is an objective urgent need to research how to efficiently and reasonably arrange limited satellite and ground station resources to improve the resource utilization efficiency so as to meet the task requirements of users.
The observation targets of the satellite mainly include the following three types: the first type is a point target, which refers to a target capable of being contained in one-time imaging, such as a port; the second category is moving objects, which means that the geographic location of the object is time-varying, such as a moving vehicle; the third type is a regional target, which is a target that needs to be imaged multiple times and can be completed by using an image synthesis technology, such as: and (5) making a map. The point target may be regarded as a region target with a zero area, and the moving target may be regarded as a region target including a motion trajectory. Thus, the observation of both point and moving objects can be considered as the observation of regional objects. If the observation area is larger than the sensor width limit of the satellite, single-satellite multi-time cooperative observation or multi-satellite multi-time cooperative observation and multi-ground-station cooperative reception of observation data are required. Therefore, the problem to be solved is to determine which satellites are selected and at what time and in what observation mode (i.e. the yaw angle of the sensor), and by which ground stations data reception is performed at what time.
In the past, most resource allocation management research works respectively consider the earth observation or data unloading stage, and focus on the task planning of point targets. The Hongrae Kim plans the regional target in the article "Session scheduling optimization of SAR satellite constellation for organizing system response", but neglects the stage of data unloading, the observed complete data can not be guaranteed to be successfully unloaded to the ground station, thereby affecting the task completion efficiency. Therefore, resource allocation management needs to combine two phases of ground observation and data offloading to improve the task completion rate. However, less research work has combined these two phases. For example, in the article "Planning and scheduling algorithms for the COSMO-SkyMed constellations" of Nicola bianchissi, although two phases are considered, it only aims at the observation of a point target by a specific COSMO-SkyMed system, and lacks a Planning method for a regional target with higher coordination requirements for satellites and ground stations. Thus, this method cannot be applied to regional targets, thereby affecting efficient use of earth observation satellite system resources. Therefore, a multi-satellite multi-ground-station resource collaborative allocation management method for area-oriented target joint earth observation and data unloading needs to be designed.

Example 1
This example is presented from an earth observation satellite system to illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, the earth observation satellite system used in the present invention includes a ground control center, an earth observation satellite, and a ground station section. The earth observation satellite system is assumed to be composed of I satellites distributed in a sun synchronous orbit. Each earth observation satellite is equipped with H sensors of different resolution. The yaw angle range of each sensor is [ -30 °,30 ° ]. Suppose that the number of ground stations is M and the stations are distributed locally, and each ground station is provided with n transceiver devices. The geographic location of the target area is randomly generated globally.
In the past, most of the resource management research work of the earth observation satellite system only considers the earth observation stage or the data unloading stage respectively, and the complex coupling of the earth observation stage and the data unloading stage is ignored. In particular, the study of the coupling relationship between the two phases of the regional target is important because of the special requirement of the regional target on the coverage rate, that is, the requirement of the integrity of the unloaded data. However, no method for managing resource collaborative allocation in the earth observation and data unloading stages aiming at the joint consideration of regional targets has been proposed so far.
Aiming at the current situation, the invention develops the research of multi-satellite multi-ground station resource collaborative allocation management facing to the regional target and provides a multi-satellite multi-ground station resource collaborative allocation management facing to the regional target, which is shown in figure 1 and comprises the following steps:
(1) the ground control center acquires information of a ground station and a satellite: the ground control center needs to acquire the information of the ground station, including the longitude and latitude of the ground station and the parameters of the receiving and transmitting equipment of the ground station. The information of the needed satellite comprises orbit parameter information of the orbit satellite and transceiver parameters. And calculating the access time of the satellite and the ground station according to the information.

First, for communication resource conflict graph G4Performing conflict resolution and then integrating communication resources without conflict G2The available communication resources are thus available for all possible combinations of available communication resources, i.e. all collision-free satellite offloading schemes.
(5) Constructing an available satellite unloading scheme: all possible available satellite offloading solutions containing targets that can access the region are extracted from the conflict-free satellite offloading solutions. The step mainly comprises the steps of selecting different available satellite unloading schemes according to different regional targets, and having adaptability.
(6) Constructing a weighted directed graph: the ground control center constructs a resource weighted directed graph G according to the sequence of the unloading time of the data to be unloaded of the target in the satellite access area according to the available satellite unloading schemedirected. Resource weighted directed graph GdirectedThe resources of the earth observation satellite system are characterized from five dimensions of satellite resources, ground station resources, communication resources, time resources and coverage. Resource weighted directed graph GdirectedCorresponding to all possible available satellite offloading schemes, i.e., one possible available satellite offloading scheme corresponding to one resource weighted directed subgraph thereofNamely, it is
(7) Generating an overall unloading scheme: ground control center in resource weighted directed graph GdirectedSearching for the best satellite feasible unloading scheme, and finally generating the overall unloading scheme. In particular, a directed subgraph is weighted for each resourcePerforming a label algorithm to search paths with large coverage and few hops, wherein the addition uses a defined addition to operateDefining an addition operation: firstly, the numbers of the target area are subjected to union set, and then the weights under each number are summed, namely:wherein { idk}={idi}∪{idj}。
(8) Determining an optimal scheme and annotating instructions: user demand refers to whether coverage is focused on area targets or data offload time is complete. The ground control center selects an optimal scheme from the generated total unloading scheme according to the user requirements, and firstly sends a measurement and control instruction to each measurement and control ground station according to the scheme to inject the selected satellite for load control, including when to turn on a sensor for data acquisition and how many angles to swing laterally; and then, sending a data receiving instruction to each data transmission ground station to perform antenna selection and data receiving (namely data unloading) of the ground station, and completing multi-satellite multi-ground-station resource collaborative allocation management.
The invention represents the relativity of the satellite and the ground station resource access by constructing the satellite access ground station resource relation graph, and provides a foundation for the cooperation of two space resources. The conflict-free and conflict-free performances of the satellite and ground station resource access conditions are characterized by constructing a communication resource conflict-free map and a communication resource conflict map. Based on this, the problem of intermittent transmission to satellites and ground stations in the earth observation system can be converted into the problem of the maximum independent set in the conflict graph, and the complexity of the problem is greatly simplified.

And finally, integrating the two satellite unloading schemes to generate all possible conflict-free satellite unloading schemes.
And 4, calculating the minimum rectangular area coverage target area by the ground control center according to the orbit parameters of the orbiting satellite and the geographical position information of the area target. Then, the rectangular area is divided into a plurality of sub-rectangles according to the requirement of approximation degree, different weights are given to each sub-matrix according to importance, the coverage of the sub-rectangles by the satellite is approximate to the coverage of the centers of the sub-rectangles, and then the total weight sum of the satellite to the area target is calculated. And extracts from the conflict-free satellite offloading solutions all possible available satellite offloading solutions that contain the access-capable regional targets.
(4a) Referring to fig. 3, the ground control center receives a regional target task request, and first obtains the geographic location coordinates and the area size of the regional target. And then calculating the minimum rectangular area for full coverage, and further dividing the rectangular area. The more small rectangular regions that are divided, the higher the degree of approximation to the region object.
The smallest rectangular area is denoted RECmin={(x1,y1),(x2,y2),(x3,y3),(x4,y4) Wherein (x)i,yi) Representing longitude and latitude coordinates, and the numbering order is clockwise. Dividing the whole rectangular area RECminThe division is performed into Num ═ MN sub-rectangles. Referring to fig. 3, the target region is divided into 154 sub-rectangles in this example. To simplify the calculation, coordinates of two adjacent points of the rectangle are set to be the same longitude or latitude, and then the rectangular area can be represented as RECmin={(x1,y1),(x2,y1),(x1,y2),(x2,y2) And simultaneously calculating the precision difference and the dimensionality difference of each point at equal intervals:coordinates of each point divided by point (x)1,y1) As a starting point, how many steps to go in the longitude and latitude directions, respectively, are calculated, the longitude step size being ΔlongitudeDimension step size of ΔlatitudeIf the longitude direction of the point X goes by X steps and the latitude direction goes by y steps, the coordinate of the point X is: (x)1+Δlongitudex,y1+Δlatitudey). Each point thus constitutes a Num-MN sub-rectangular region.
(4b) Coverage of a rectangular area translates to coverage of a sub-rectangular area.
In order to calculate whether a sub-rectangle is covered, here the equivalent rectangle center is covered, the coordinates of the center of each sub-rectangle need to be calculated. Firstly, the rectangles are numbered ID e ID in sequence from latitude to longitude, wherein the ID is {1, 2. Then, the position location of the submatrix in the matrix area is determined. Finally passing through the position location of the sub-rectangle and its central coordinateFinding the center coordinates of the sub-rectangles according to the corresponding relationship, whereinTo represent the correspondence between the position of the sub-matrix and its central latitude and longitude coordinates. The submatrix position location calculation may be by the following relationship:
idmodN=xmod,yrem=id-xmodN。
if y isremWhen the value is equal to 0, thenOtherwise yremNot equal to 0, thenThe central coordinates of the sub-rectangles are calculated by using a first sub-matrix REC1Is calculated by the location relative to it, i.e. how many steps to go to longitude and latitude. Submatrix REC1The center coordinates of (a) are:for the submatrix RECiIf the longitude is satisfiedThe longitude coordinate of the matrix center isIf it is satisfied withThe longitude coordinate of the matrix center isIf the latitude satisfiesThe coordinate of the central dimension of the matrix isThe longitude coordinate of the matrix center isThen the coordinates of the center of the matrix are obtained
(4c) For different sub-matrices RECiDifferent weights are given according to prior knowledge:wherein,as a center coordinate ofOf the submatrix RECi. By usingRepresentation sub-matrix RECiThe number id corresponds to the weight w. For example, referring to fig. 3, if the edge sub-rectangle of the rectangle does not have the relevant information of the coverage area target, the weight may be given as 0, and the information of other coverage area targets is given different weights based on the corresponding importance of the information.
(4d) Record each satellite satiCovering all sub-rectangles RECiThe set of ids of (a).
Judging satellite satiWhether a rectangular REC with the number id can be covered under the condition of meeting the resolution requirementiThe conditions of (a) are as follows:

If the condition is satisfied, recording the satellite satiId set of coverage area targets in planning cycle:and recording the starting time, the ending time and the number three-dimensional array of the satellite of the target in the access area If it is notThen TSaccess=TSaccess∪{SatiWhere, TSaccessRepresenting a set of satellites having access to a target area.
(4e) For set at total feasible output edgeEach feasible set ofExtracting a set TS containing satellitesaccessThe edges of all satellites in the setThenFor example, consider an earth observation satellite system having three earth observation satellites. Two earth observation satellites use different sensor modes to acquire different regional target information, and one earth observation satellite does not have information of observing regional targets. The invention selects the feasible unloading schemes of two earth observation satellites capable of accessing regional targets from the feasible unloading schemes of the satellites. And the sensors of the two satellites are cooperated to avoid the repeated coverage of the two satellites to a target area, so that satellite resources and communication resources are saved, and target image data acquired by the two satellites can be unloaded to a ground station in an access time without conflict, so that an observation task is accurately and efficiently completed.
And 5, constructing a resource weighted directed graph by the ground control center according to the orbit parameters of the orbiting satellite and the geographical position information of the regional target.
For at fEOutputEach set inModeling a problem as a weighted directed subgraphAnd constructing a virtual source point S and a virtual destination node T, and referring to FIG. 2.Wherein,time axis is expressed in timeAscending sorting and dividing, wherein each time point corresponds to a satellite, namely:according to SiFrom TSaccessTo obtainAccording to the satellite sat at a timeiTarget end time of access areaFinding a minimum target end time greater than the access areaOf the satellite satiStart time of access to ground stationNamely, the ith satellite visits the mth ground station for the ith time to select the start time of the nth set of transceiver equipment, and thus a resource weighted directed subgraph is constructedOne hop node in the above, and so on. Corresponding to edge sets in the graphIs the corresponding set
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a resource weighted directed subgraph in which three blocks are listed. The first box contains six red nodes and is divided into two groups numbered k1 and k 2. Three points in the first group represent three different sensor modes: mode 1, mode 2 and mode 3. Each mode represents a different yaw angle of the sensor on one satellite. For example: the CBERS-1 satellite sensor roll range is 32 deg., for a total of 32 modes if each mode is rotated by 2 deg.. The number k1 represents the first visit to the target area, and similarly, the number k2 represents the second visit to the target area. And the satellite firstly visits the weight values of the edges in the resource weighted directed graph of the target area obtained by the target in the area in different modes, and carries out the second visit in the same way. But the weight addition must be calculated according to the addition defined above. Furthermore, one box corresponds to a point in time, as seen in fig. 4, the first box corresponds to a point in time t1, which corresponds to the time at which the satellite offloads data to the ground station. Then, the paths which have the largest weighted sum and small corresponding hop number and meet the task requirements, namely the optimal satellite combination and the sensor sidesway angle combination mode of the satellite, are found according to the ascending sequence of the time points.
And 6, searching the optimal satellite feasible unloading scheme in the conflict-free satellite unloading scheme by the ground control center according to the satellite resource scheme for survival of the weighted directed graph to generate a total scheme.
For each weighted rule directed graphPerforming a labeling algorithm, wherein the addition operates using defined additionsThe addition operation is defined as follows: first, the target area numbers are merged. Then, summing the weight under each number, namely:wherein, { idk}={idi}∪{idj}。
And 7, the ground control center selects an optimal scheme from the generated overall scheme according to the user requirements, and respectively sends a measurement and control instruction to each measurement and control ground station to inject the selected satellite for load control and each data transmission ground station to send a data receiving instruction for ground station antenna selection and data reception.
According to the invention, the ground control center calculates the time of the satellite accessing the ground station according to the ground station information (including position and the like) and the satellite ephemeris; constructing a resource relation graph through the calculated time, generating a communication resource conflict graph, and outputting all conflict-free total satellite unloading schemes through a conflict decomposition algorithm; calculating the condition of satellite access target area according to target area information (including position and the like) and satellite ephemeris, and constructing a weighted directed graph for each collision-free satellite unloading scheme through a series of operations such as rectangularization of the area target and the like; and traversing all the weighted directed graphs by the ground control center, and finding out paths with large coverage rate and small path length by using a labeling algorithm and defined addition to generate an optimal scheme. And the ground control center respectively sends a measurement and control instruction to each measurement and control ground station according to the optimal scheme, and the measurement and control instruction is injected to the selected satellite to carry out load control, and each data transmission ground station sends a data receiving instruction to carry out ground station antenna selection and data receiving. The invention uses the model of the graph to represent the intermittency and the correlation of the resources in the earth observation satellite system, and reduces the complexity of resource management.
The technical effects of the present invention will be explained again by simulation
Example 8
The regional target-oriented multi-satellite multi-ground station resource collaborative allocation management method is the same as the embodiment 1-7.
Simulation conditions
In the simulation scenario, the latitude and longitude coordinates of the regional targets are randomly generated from the longitude range [0 °,120 ° ] and the latitude range [ -30 °,60 ° ] respectively. Considering two area sizes of a square region object with side lengths of 2 ° and 4 °, respectively, the areas are 4 and 16, respectively. Consider 4 geostationary satellites distributed in a sun-synchronized orbit at 98.5 °, 98.87 °, 98.48 ° and 98.00 ° orbital inclinations CBERS-1, FY1, Worldview3 and quikbard, respectively. Wherein, the range of the side swing angle of the sensor on each satellite is [ -30 degrees, 30 degrees ]. The ground stations are respectively karsh, san and dense clouds, and the longitude and latitude of the ground stations are (76 degrees, 39.5 degrees), (109.5 degrees, 18 degrees), (116 degrees and 40 degrees).
Emulated content and results
It should be noted that, in the existing regional target-oriented resource distribution, there is no scheme for jointly considering ground observation and data unloading. Therefore, in the data unloading stage, random selection of some non-conflicting communication resources for data unloading, i.e. a random scheme, is considered as a comparison scheme with the present invention.
Simulation 1, comparing the coverage of the regional target with the random scheme by the method of the present invention, and as a result, effectively improving the coverage of the regional target by the cooperative communication resource allocation management of the present invention, see fig. 5, where fig. 5 is a simulation comparison graph of the coverage obtained by the method of the present invention and the random scheme.
As can be seen from FIG. 5, the present invention compares the coverage of the target area with the contrast scheme under two different area targets as the dimension of the area target changes. For the condition that the area of the target area is 4, the coverage rate in the dimensional range of-30 degrees and-18 degrees is obviously improved. Under the condition that the area of the target area is 16, the coverage rate of the invention is obviously improved in the dimensional range of [ -30 °, -10 ° ] and the dimensional range of [20 °,35 ° ]. Furthermore, earth station resources and communication resources are scarce and expensive for the satellite resources in earth observation satellite systems. Therefore, the invention can complete the maximum target area coverage rate by using the minimum resource cost.

The area target-oriented multi-satellite multi-ground station resource collaborative allocation management method is the same as the embodiments 1-7, the simulation conditions and the contents are the same as the embodiments 1-8,
simulation 2, comparing the image data unloading completion time of the regional target with the simulation of the random scheme by the method of the present invention, and as a result, effectively reducing the image data unloading completion time of the regional target by using the cooperative communication resource allocation management of the present invention, see fig. 6, where fig. 6 is a simulation comparison graph of the data unloading completion time obtained by using the method of the present invention and the random scheme.
As can be seen from fig. 6, the present invention compares the target image data unload completion time and the comparison scheme under two different area regional targets as the dimension of the regional target changes. In the case of the target area of 4, the unloading completion time of the target image data in the dimensional range of [ -30 degrees, 60 degrees ] is obviously reduced. For the target area of 16, the present invention significantly reduces the target image data offload completion time in the dimensional range of-30 °,60 °, except in individual dimensions, such as-25 °, -20 °, -5 °, 0 °. Therefore, the invention can effectively reduce the time for unloading the image data of the area target. Particularly in emergency application scenarios, the invention can improve the response capability to emergency events.
In summary, the method for managing resource collaborative allocation of multiple satellites and multiple ground stations for regional targets disclosed by the present invention solves the problem of resource collaborative planning of multiple satellites and multiple ground stations, and the implementation process is as follows: the ground control center respectively constructs a resource relation graph, a communication resource conflict-free graph and a communication resource conflict graph to generate a satellite unloading scheme by acquiring information of the ground station and the satellite; calculating a satellite access area target according to the target area information and the satellite ephemeris, and extracting all possible satellite unloading schemes from the satellite unloading schemes; and constructing a weighted directed graph for each feasible satellite unloading scheme, traversing all weighted directed graphs, finding out paths with large coverage and few hops by using a labeling algorithm and defined addition to generate a total unloading scheme, and injecting a measurement and control instruction. The invention uses the model of the graph to represent the intermittence and the correlation of the resources in the earth observation satellite system, improves the resource utilization rate and the task planning efficiency, reduces the complexity of resource management, and can be used for the resource management of the earth observation satellite system.
