Description

一种分布式多卫星联合波束赋形方法 技术领域
本发明涉及一种分布式多卫星联合波束赋形方法,属于卫星网络架构下多星多波束协作传输技术领域。
背景技术
下一代高吞吐量卫星(HTS)系统需要提供超高数据速率服务,以满足偏远地区高带宽多媒体应用的需求,并与下一代地面通信系统(如5G技术及更高技术)集成。为此,多波束卫星通信(SatCom)系统已成为一个强有力的解决方案,一些目前正在运行的多波束HTS系统例如Wildblue-1和Anik F2,可以覆盖美国部分地区66个点波束。由于多波束天线辐射方向图旁瓣的影响,该技术会产生较强的波束间干扰(IBI),目前运行的多波束卫星通信系统通常采用四色或更高频率的复用来降低IBI。然而,在下一代HTS系统中,为了实现高频谱效率和吞吐量,需要采取全频率复用(FFR),以便每个波束充分利用整个可用带宽。目前,已有许多工作研究了HTS系统中用于抑制IBI的各种多用户检测和波束赋形技术,Ishtiaq Ahmad等人分析了采用迫零(ZF)预编码的平均和速率性能,D.Christopoulos则研究了在莱斯信道下采用最小均方误差(MMSE)接收机的性能。上述研究表明,对于单星系统而言,这些方法可以有效降低IBI,但对于存在两颗及以上的多星系统而言,如何降低不同卫星波束间的干扰,提高整体系统的吞吐量仍是一个待解决的难题。
多星协作传输技术作为提升卫星传输速率的一种新型技术,有着重要的应用前景。传统的卫星通信一般采用单星服务一个用户,这对用户的数据传输速率和容量带来一定的限制,卫星资源的使用效率也未能充分利用。为了进一步利用卫星的空间传输特性,可以让一个终端同时连接在编队多颗卫星上。这些卫星通过协作实现联合数据传输,获得分集增益或者复用增益。Maik R per等人设计了一种分布式MMSE波束赋形算法,其中多个卫星协同传输用户数据。研究结果表明该算法可以显著提升和速率性能,但它需要卫星间进行大量的信令交互,以及各卫星在迭代计算中多次获取瞬时的信道信息,这对于当前的卫星系统而言是一项巨大的挑战。
发明内容
针对多星系统中存在的波束间干扰较大,以及传统的多星协作传输技术中信令交互负担过大、获取瞬时信道信息困难的技术缺陷,本发明的目的在于提供一种分布式多卫星联合波束赋形方法,通过应用确定性等价DE定理对传统的加权最小均方误差WMMSE的迭代过程进行近似,在每轮迭代后,卫星间通过交互标量形式的辅助变量代替大维的瞬时信道矩阵,显著减小星间交互的信息量;迭代收敛后,通过接收滤波器矩阵和用户权值以及一组瞬时信道信息计算预编码矩阵,根据预编码矩阵实现分布式多卫星联合波束赋形。此外,通过多星间联合波束赋形有效减少波束间干扰,提高整体系统的吞吐量。

图2展示了采用WMMSE最优方法与实施例1中提出的DE近似方法在每轮迭代后需要交互的信息量的对比结果;
其中,若采用WMMSE最优方法,则在每轮迭代后,卫星间需要交互其服务用户的接收滤波器矩阵、权值、以及瞬时信道矩阵,例如图2中卫星c在每轮迭代后,需要向卫星m发送接收滤波器矩阵a c,k(k∈K c)、权值w c,k(k∈K c)、以及瞬时信道矩阵h c,c,k(k∈K c),其中a c,k与w c,k均为标量,h c,c,k为一1×M的复数矩阵,
而采用DE近似方法时,卫星间只需交互一个辅助变量,如图2中卫星c在每轮迭代后只需要向卫星m发送辅助变量
Figure PCTCN2022092303-appb-000156
为一标量,因此,从该对比图中可看出:采用本发明提出的DE近似方法相较于WMMSE最优方法,能够显著减小卫星间的交互信息量。
图3为采用实施例1中提出的DE近似方法、WMMSE最优方法、以及非协作方法在500组信道下的系统传输速率CDF对比图。
其中非协作方法为多星间不进行协作传输,该图像的横坐标为传输速率,纵坐标为累积分布概率,由图中结果可看出采用DE近似方法的传输速率集中在13.2nats/s/Hz附近,采用非协作方法的传输速率集中在3.9nats/s/Hz附近,采用WMMSE最优方法的传输速率集中在13.8nats/s/Hz附近,因此可得出结论:1)采用本发明方法相较于非协作方法可提升传输速率3倍左右,吞吐量提升显著;2)采用本发明方法相较于最优MMSE方法只牺牲了5%左右的性能,却能够显著减小卫星间的交互信息量。
