Dynamic Cooperative Spectrum Sharing in a Multi-Beam LEO-GEO Co-Existing Satellite System

Among the existing satellite types, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites provide short round-trip delays and are becoming increasingly important. Due to its low orbital profile, the LEO satellites can provide high-speed, low-latency and no dead zone network services for ground users. However, as the number of satellites continues to increase, frequency bands as non-renewable resources will seriously restrict the future development of the Space-Earth integration network. In this paper, a flexible spectrum sharing and cooperative service method is proposed to address the co-linear interference issue caused by LEO satellites while passing through the coverage area of the GEO beam and allows the LEO satellites to provide services for multiple LEO ground users. In our proposed scheme, through continuous power allocation optimization, we ensure that the service of LEO satellites will not reduce the service quality of the GEO beam. At by taking full advantage of the cooperation between LEO satellites, the quality of their service can be significantly improved. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme converges quickly, the transmission efficiency and the stability of the system can all be guaranteed.
