Using graph theory,network capacity is defined as the maximum amount of flows ground stations can receive per unit time. Combined with a hybrid constellation model,network capacity is calculated and further analyzed for practical cases. Simulation results show that network capacity will increase to different extents as link capacity,minimum ground elevation constraint and satellite onboard processing capability change. Considering the efficiency and reliability of communication networks,how to scientifically design satellite networks is also discussed.展开更多

Firstly, a cross-layer optimization model is built, which considers the Doppler wavelength shift, the transmission delay as well as wavelength-continuity constraint. Then an ant colony algorithm is utilized to solve the cross-layer optimization model, resulting in finding an optimal light path satisfying the above constraints for every connection request. The performance of CL-ACRWA is measured by the communication success probability, the convergence property and the transmission delay. Simulation results show that CL-ACRWA performs well in communication success probability and has good global search ability as well as fast convergence speed. Meanwhile, the transmission delay can meet the basic requirement of real-time transmission of business.展开更多

To build a space-terrestrial integrated communication system is the inevitable trend in the future. Taking into account combination of 5th generation(5G) terrestrial mobile communication system and satellite communication system, it is necessary to evaluate the promising 5G air interface waveform which can be adopted by satellite. In this paper, several non-orthogonal multi-carrier transmission schemes are evaluated and generalized frequency division multiplexing(GFDM) is advised as potential scheme of space-terrestrial integrated communication system. After the overview of GFDM, the implementation of GFDM transceiver is discussed respectively in time-domain and in frequency-domain. By deriving and comparing implementation complexity, GFDM modulation in time-domain is more suitable for satellite communication system. Then the properties of demodulation algorithms are specified. Based on designed pilot subcarriers, a new improved receiving algorithm is proposed in the end of the paper. The improved algorithm solves the problem of inter subcarriers interference(ICI) in matched filtering(MF) receiver and improves the re-ceiving symbol error rate(SER) obviously. The simulation and analysis prove that the proposed algorithm is effective.展开更多

Above all,a cross-layer optimization model is designed,which considers transmission delay and wavelength-continuity constraint,as well as Doppler wavelength shift. Then CL-DRWA is applied to solve this model,resulting in finding an optimal light path satisfying the above constraints for every connection request. In CL-DRWA,Bellman-Ford method is used to find an optimal route and a distributed relative capacity loss method is implemented to get an optimal wavelength assignment result on the optimal route. Moreover,compared with the dynamic routing and wavelength assignment algorithm based on minimum delay strategy( MD-DRWA),CL-DRWA can make an improvement of 5. 3% on the communication success probability. Meanwhile,CL-DRWA can meet the requirement of transmission delay for real-time services.展开更多

Current researches mainly deal with this problem on the assumption that the data transmission mode is fixed, either playback or real-time transmission.

Furthermore, we design the longest compatible transmission chain mutation operator to enhance the performance of the algorithm. Finally, some experiments are implemented to validate correctness and practicability of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

Band Residual Difference Algorithm(BRD) and Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy(DOAS) were used respectively by NASA and ESA science team to derive SO_2 columns from satellite observations, but there are few studies on the comparison and validation of BRD and DOAS SO_2 retrievals under the same observation conditions. In this study, the radiative transfer model SCIATRAN was firstly used to validate the accuracies of BRD and DOAS SO_2 retrievals, and analyse the uncertainty of SO_2 retrieval caused by band selection,O_3 absorption, aerosol, surface reflectance, solar and viewing zenith angle. Finally, BRD and DOAS algorithms were applied to the same radiances from satellite observations, and comparisons of BRD and DOAS SO_2 retrievals were conducted over volcanic eruption and North China. Results show that, for the case with low SO_2 columns, BRD SO_2 retrievals have higher retrieval accuracy than DOAS, but typical seasonal variation with high SO_2 column in winter and low in summer can be more clearly discernible in DOAS SO_2 retrievals than BRD from satellite observations. For the case with high SO_2 columns, the differences between BRD(310.8–314.4 nm) and DOAS(315–327 nm) retrievals are large, and the value and accuracy of BRD(310.8–314.4 nm) SO_2 retrievals are lower than those of DOAS(315–327 nm) retrievals. Compared with the SO_2 inputs in forward model, both BRD(310.8–314.4 nm) and DOAS(315–327 nm) SO_2 retrievals are underestimated for the case with high SO_2 columns. The selection of wavelength range can significantly affect the accuracy of SO_2 retrieval. The error of BRD SO_2 retrieval from 310.8–314.4 nm is lower than other bands in the ultraviolet spectral region(306–327 nm). The increase of wavelength in the ultraviolet spectral region306–330 nm can reduce the underestimation of DOAS SO_2 retrievals in the case of high SO_2 column, but slight overestimation of SO_2 retrieval is found from the 315–327 nm range in the case of low SO_2 column. The values of BRD and DOAS SO_2 retrieval decrease with atmospheric O_3 column and aerosol optical depth increasing, but increase with surface reflectance increasing. Large solar zenith angle and viewing zenith angle can introduce more errors to the BRD and DOAS SO_2 retrievals. This study is important for the improvement of retrieval algorithm and the application of SO_2 products from satellite observations.展开更多
