The present application differs significantly from it in the following: 1) the task backgrounds are different, the method is oriented to formation cooperative fusion data transmission, and the contrast patent is oriented to a relay satellite receiving task; 2) the window planning and scheduling methods are different, a priority ordering processing mode based on arrival time, data volume and the like is adopted for a multi-satellite application window, and meanwhile, the switching allowance of a transmission window is considered, so that the problem of task connection conflict of multi-satellite transmission channels is mainly solved. Compared with the patent, the task with longer transmission time is divided into a plurality of task elements, the task with short transmission time, high coincidence rate of a scheduling window and similar request satellite positions is combined into one task element. 3) The flow time sequences are different, the method comprises the whole processes of central star task awakening, member star feedback, central star planning result distribution, member star execution and the like, and compared patents mainly aim at algorithm description and do not refer to inter-star cooperation time sequences.
In summary, no centralized inter-satellite data transmission autonomous scheduling related method oriented to the centralized on-board processing requirements of intelligent satellites is available.

The method can effectively solve the problem of autonomous scheduling of inter-satellite data transmission for processing requirements on the intelligent satellite centralized satellite.
To explain the technical content, structural features, achieved objects, and advantageous effects of the present embodiment in detail, the present embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a centralized inter-satellite data transmission task autonomous scheduling method, which is composed of a ground management control, a master satellite, and a plurality of slave satellites, wherein the ground management control can initiate a multi-satellite data transmission task and can detect the multi-satellite execution process telemetry, and the master satellite and the slave satellites include two types of inter-satellite links, i.e., a low-speed inter-satellite link and a high-speed inter-satellite link, wherein the inter-satellite low-speed data link is generally a wide beam and is used for transmitting tasks and command information, and the inter-satellite high-speed data link is generally a narrow beam and is used for transmitting a large. And (4) planning data transmission tasks among the main satellites and the planets. The method comprises the following steps:
step 1: starting a transmission task: and the main satellite starts an inter-satellite high-speed data receiving task, reads task information and starts an on-satellite autonomous task scheduling module.
The inter-satellite high-speed data transmission task can be started by remote control or program control, and the task information comprises the number n and the number i of receiving channels opened by the main satellite, the starting time Ts _ i and the ending time Te _ i of each channel, and the like. The main satellite generally has a plurality of receiving channels, and can be fully opened or partially opened in one task, wherein n refers to the total number of channels opened at this time; each channel is influenced by various constraints such as transmission frequency, starting preparation time, transmitting power, storage capacity and the like, and the starting time period and the ending time period of the opening can be different after the same.
Step 2: initiating an inter-satellite task: and the master satellite initiates a cooperative task, writes the task information into a data packet, and sends the task information to the slave satellite through the inter-satellite low-speed data network.
After the master satellite starts a task, information is sent to the slave satellite, and the information sent to the slave satellite through the inter-satellite low-speed data network comprises the following information: the inter-satellite high-speed data transmission task starting flag _ z, 1 represents starting, and other values represent non-starting; a task starting time T0, at which time both the master star and the slave star should be ready for transmission, and T0 is less than or equal to any Ts _ i (i is 1 … n); the task duration dt, T0+ dt is greater than or equal to any Te _ i; the main satellite orbit information is used for calculating the direction and the time window which can be linked with the main satellite by preshrunk calculation from the satellite; one or more channel numbers that are open; and so on.
And step 3: the slave star responds to the task: after receiving a task starting message sent by a main satellite, if a data transmission requirement exists, a slave satellite starts on-satellite data processing and packaging, calculates a period of time visible with a link of the main satellite, estimates on-satellite processing and preparation time, estimates transmission time according to data volume and transmission rate, and generates feedback information of an inter-satellite transmission task.
The slave star feedback information includes: the ready state flag _ c, 1 represents ready, and the other values represent ready; the satellite number sat _ id; applying for a main satellite to receive a channel number i, wherein the number is the intersection of the channel number opened by the main satellite and the available channel number of a slave satellite; the leading edge t _ ready of the transmittable window is a predicted value at the moment, represents the moment when the attitude, the antenna pointing direction and the starting preparation of the transmission channel are made, and has an immediate sending condition; a transmission time length t _ pass, which represents the time length of the transmitter power-down or power-off after the transmission of the pilot code and the effective data is finished from t _ ready to ensure that the transmission of each satellite does not influence each other; the back edge t _ END of the window can be transmitted, and the slave satellite must close the transmission channel beyond the moment; and so on.
And 4, step 4: and (3) feedback from the star task: the slave star writes the feedback information into a data packet and sends the feedback information to the master star through the inter-satellite low-speed data network.
And 5: planning a main satellite task: the master satellite receives the feedback information of the slave satellites, processes the feedback information according to the receiving channels in a grouping mode, applies for a slave satellite window of each channel, carries out data validity check, resolves conflict between a new window and an existing window, generates a planning and scheduling result, and repeats in a circulating mode.
In the above step, the data validity check includes: and (3) rejecting a slave star window with data packet XOR and error checking, rejecting a slave star window with over-limit transmission time (t _ pass > Te _ i-Ts _ i), and rejecting a slave star window with over-limit ending time (t _ ready + t _ pass > Te _ i).
Generally, a high-speed data receiving task needs to receive slave satellite data as early as possible, processing of the slave satellite data on the satellite can be started as soon as possible, in order to avoid poor final scheduling result caused by the fact that windows are inserted one by one, task planning processing of a master satellite is performed once (for example, 10s) at a certain time interval within the time from T0 to T0+ dt, and scheduling optimization based on certain rules can be performed on windows simultaneously applied by a plurality of slave satellites within the time interval. In the conflict resolution process of the new window and the planned window, firstly taking out unplanned slave star windows and planned effective windows, and respectively sequencing according to the leading edge time t _ ready (the adjacent window is preferred) of the slave star windows and the transmission time t _ pass (the time is short and preferred, and the received star number is as much as possible); whether each new window can be inserted into the receiving time interval of the main satellite as early as possible within the time from Ts _ i to Te _ i and after the current time T _ now is detected in sequence, the new window is not overlapped with the planned auxiliary satellite window, and a certain margin T _ pre is reserved between the new window and the planned auxiliary satellite window for state preparation or transmission interference avoidance. As shown in fig. 2, an illustration is given of one master satellite 2 channel receiving 4 slave satellite data.
The planning and scheduling result comprises the following steps: a scheduling result valid flag _ p (if 1 represents valid, and the others represent invalid), a satellite number sat _ id, a channel number i, a satellite start transmission time t _ start, and a satellite end transmission time t _ end.
Step 6: distributing a planning result: the master satellite writes the planning and scheduling result into a data packet and sends the data packet to the slave satellite through the inter-satellite low-speed data network.
And 7: generating from the star instructions: and the slave star analyzes the task data packet sent by the master star, generates a corresponding channel switch and a transmitted delay instruction chain, inserts the delay instruction chain into a slave star instruction queue and waits for execution.
And the channel switch and the transmitted delay instruction chain read the channel number i, start transmission t _ start from the star and end transmission time t _ end according to the effective scheduling result flag _ p. The start and end times of the satellite reception need to be strictly executed, and mutual interference of multi-satellite transmission is avoided.
And 8: and (3) generation of a main star instruction: the main star can carry out window combination according to the occupation condition of each channel receiving window generated in real time, and generates a delay instruction chain of a channel receiving switch by the combined window, inserts the delay instruction chain into a main star instruction queue and waits for execution.
The window merging is beneficial to reducing the channel switching times and reducing the satellite energy consumption, and the window merging rule is that the distance between adjacent windows is smaller than a threshold value needing to be merged. As shown in fig. 2.
And step 9: the data transmission is carried out: and the master satellite and the slave satellite respectively execute control instructions of antenna pointing, starting up, shutting down and the like of the high-speed data channel between the satellites at the time of triggering the delay instruction, and execute data receiving and sending.
Step 10: and (5) ending the transmission task: at the end of the task, the master and slave stars perform state recovery actions.
The state recovery actions generally include turning off the receive channel stand-alone, antenna mechanism reset, attitude-to-day orientation, stored data purge, and the like. The task end time is T0+ dt.
The invention adopts an inter-satellite low-speed data network to carry out real-time interaction of task instruction control and feedback information aiming at an intelligent satellite (a master satellite) to receive a member satellite (a slave satellite) data transmission autonomous scheduling task, generates a time interval requirement for the inter-satellite transmission task after the slave satellite finishes the on-satellite processing of an imaging task, the application is provided for the main satellite through the inter-satellite low-speed data network, the main satellite receives the high-speed data tasks of the auxiliary satellites for planning and autonomous scheduling, the constraints of one-to-many receiving communication frequency bands, the number of channels, switching time, pointing range, starting time length and the like of the main satellite and the auxiliary satellites are comprehensively considered, the conflict resolution and the high-speed data transmission tasks are carried out, and sending the planning result containing the inter-satellite high-speed data link channel allocation and the time interval allocation to the slave satellite through the inter-satellite low-speed data network, receiving the task scheduling by the slave satellite, and sending data to the master satellite through the inter-satellite high-speed data link channel in the time interval specified by the master satellite.
