Joint Precoding Schemes for Flexible Resource Allocation in High Throughput Satellite Systems Based on Beam Hopping

摘要

Beam hopping technology provides a foundation for the flexible allocation and efficient utilization of satellite resources,which is considered as a key technology for the next generation of high throughput satellite systems.To alleviate the contradiction between resource utilization and co-frequency interference in beam hopping technology,this paper firstly studies dynamic clustering to balance traffic between clusters and proposes cluster hopping pool optimization method to avoid inter-cluster interference.Then based on the optimization results,a novel joint beam hopping and precoding algorithm is provided to combine resource allocation and intra-cluster interference suppression,which can make efficient utilization of system resources and achieve reliable and near-optimal transmission capacity.The simulation results show that,compared with traditional methods,the proposed algorithms can dynamically adjust to balance demand traffic between clusters and meet the service requirements of each beam,also eliminate the co-channel interference to improve the performance of satellite network.
