The invention provides a method for pre-switching between beams based on terminal position information on a multi-beam low-orbit satellite communication system. The invention can correlate the messages between the User Equipment (UE), the Source Satellite terminal (S-SAT), the Target Satellite terminal (T-SAT) and the ground Control Center (NCC) under the connection mode to form a complete signaling flow. Fig. 3 and fig. 4 are schematic diagrams of inter-satellite and intra-satellite pre-switching signaling flows, respectively.
As shown in fig. 3, the inter-satellite beam pre-switching signaling procedure includes the following steps:
1) after accessing the satellite network, the user sends a PRE CONNECT NOTIFY message (also called a user registration message) to the source satellite through an uplink channel of the source beam. The message includes information such as UE _ id, latitude and longitude coordinates of the user, and the like. The format of the PRE CONNECT NOTIFY message is shown in table 1.

2) The source satellite judges whether INTER-satellite switching is needed or not, and if the INTER-satellite switching is about to occur, the source satellite sends a PRE INTERCONNECT NOTIFY message (also called an INTER-satellite user registration message) to the ground control center. The format of PRE INTER CONNECT NOTIFY is shown in table 2.
TABLE 2 PRE INTERINTERCONNECT NOTIFY message Format

3) The ground control center makes a pre-switching decision on the received user registration information, which is specifically shown in the step 2 of the invention content.
4) After the decision is completed, the ground control center sends a PRE INTER HANDOVER REQUEST message (also called an INTER-satellite PRE-HANDOVER REQUEST message) to the target satellite. The format of the PRE INTER HANDOVER REQUEST is shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3 PRE INTER HANDOVER REQUEST message Format

5) The target satellite allocates radio resources and replies a PRE-INTER HANDOVER REQUEST ACK message (also called PRE-HANDOVER REQUEST response message) to the ground control center. The message includes the newly allocated switchable channel id and the uplink and downlink frequencies allocated to the user by the target beam in the target satellite. The format of the PRE INTER HANDOVER REQUEST ACK is shown in Table 4.

Figure BDA0002898872480000092
7) When the PRE-switching time is reached, the user sets the uplink frequency and the downlink frequency as the frequency allocated to the target beam in the target satellite, and sends a PRE HANDOVER ACCESS message (also called PRE-switching ACCESS request message) to the target beam in the target satellite to ACCESS the target beam. When the user accesses the target beam, the user still needs to report the own position information so as to provide information for the next pre-switching decision. The format of PRE HANDOVER ACCESS is shown in Table 5.

8) After receiving the PRE-switching access request message of the user, the target satellite verifies whether the accessed user is the user who reserves the channel resource previously through UE _ id, if so, the target satellite sends a PRE INTERCONNECT NOTIFY message (also called an INTER-satellite user registration message) to the ground control center through verification; meanwhile, the satellite continues to make pre-handover decisions for the next pre-handover. The format of PRE INTER CONNECT NOTIFY is shown in table 2.
9) After receiving the user access message reported by the target satellite, the ground control center sends a UE INTER CONTEXT RELEASE message (also called a resource RELEASE message) to the source beam of the source satellite, and the resources occupied by the user in the source beam are eliminated. The format of the UE INTER CONTEXT RELEASE is shown in table 6.

As shown in fig. 4, the intra-satellite inter-beam pre-handover signaling procedure includes the following steps:
1) the user sends PRE CONNECT NOTIFY (also called user registration message) to the satellite through the source beam.
2) And after the satellite judges that the satellite switches between the satellite beams, pre-switching decision is made by using ephemeris information, beam pointing and other information. See step 2 of the summary of the invention.
3) After the decision is made, the satellite sends a PRE handoff REQUEST message to the target beam, the format of which is shown in table 7.
TABLE 7 PRE HANDOVER REQUEST message Format
Figure BDA0002898872480000103
4) After the target beam allocates the radio resource, a PRE HANDOVER REQUEST ACK message (also called PRE-HANDOVER REQUEST response message) is returned to the satellite, and the format of the PRE HANDOVER REQUEST ACK is shown in table 8.
TABLE 8 PRE HANDOVER REQUEST message Format
Figure BDA0002898872480000111
5) The satellite receives new radio resources prepared by the target beam for the user, adds the HANDOVER time in the PRE-HANDOVER decision into a PRE HANDOVER NOTIFY message (also called PRE-HANDOVER notification message), and forwards the message to the user through the source beam, where the format of the PRE HANDOVER NOTIFY is shown in table 9.
TABLE 9 PRE HANDOVER NOTIFY message Format
Figure BDA0002898872480000112
6) When the PRE-switch moment is reached, the user sets the uplink and downlink frequencies as the frequencies allocated to the target beam, so as to send a PRE HANDOVER ACCESS message (also called PRE-switch ACCESS request message) to the target beam and ACCESS the target beam. The format of PRE HANDOVER ACCESS is shown in Table 5.
7) After receiving the PRE-switching access request message of the user, the target beam verifies whether the accessed user is a user who previously reserves channel resources through UE _ id, and if so, sends PRE CONNECT NOTIFY message (also called user registration message) to the satellite through verification. The format of the PRE CONNECT NOTIFY message is shown in table 1.
8) The satellite receives the user access information reported by the target wave beam, on one hand, the satellite continues to make a pre-switching decision to perform next pre-switching; on the other hand, the satellite sends a UE CONTEXT RELEASE message (also called resource RELEASE message) to the source beam to clear the resources occupied by the UE in the source beam. The format of UE CONTEXT RELEASE is shown in table 10.
