Percolation transition in temporal airport network

The air transportation system has a critical impact on the global economy. While the system reliability is essential for the operational management of air traffic, it remains challenging to understand the network reliability of the air transportation system. This paper focuses on how the global air traffic is integrated from local scale along with operational time. The integration process of air traffic into a temporally connected network is viewed as percolation process by increasing the integration time constantly. The critical integration time T_P which is found during the integration process can measure the global reliability of air traffic. The critical links at T_P are also identified, the delay of which will influence the global integration of the airport network. These findings may provide insights on the reliability management for the temporal airport network.

 星间链路切换将严重影响卫星网络的通信性能,需要对切换链路加以保护,这方面的研究目前还很欠缺。为此,给出一种新颖的星间链路切换保护(ISLHP)算法,该算法可同时生成业务路径和备份路径,且具有最小的综合费用（包括备份费用和业务费用）。算法采用本地链路保护,为星间链路切换提供快速恢复,并利用星间链路切换的可预测性和备份资源的可共用性,通过降低需要保护的链路数,减少闲置的备份资源,来提高网络资源的利用率。仿真结果表明:该算法具有切换恢复时间短,网络资源利用率高等优点。     

中继卫星多址链路调度问题的约束规划模型及算法研究

中继卫星多址链路调度问题是中继卫星系统应用中必须解决的重要问题,其重要特点在于,中继卫星与用户航天器之间并非时时可见,因此通信任务存在可见时间窗口约束。只有在可见时间窗口内,通信任务才可能执行并完成。在进行合理假设的基础上,采用人工智能中的约束规划技术,建立中继卫星多址链路调度问题的约束规划模型,并提出了基于时间窗口期望值的多步迭代算法。应用结果表明,中继卫星多址链路调度模型的建立与求解是合理的。     

Fade duration statistics for Ku-band satellite links

Fade duration database was built to enhance the study of propagation characterises in the Equatorial region. The data was measured via a beacon receiver Ku-band whereby the antenna was directed to a SUPERBIRD-C2 satellite at 12.255 GHz. The performance of the measured data has been compared with ITU-R model, Kormanyos et al. and Paulson–Gibbins. The results show that the Paulson–Gibbins fits well with measured data with a low RMS error of 0.2 dB. The number of statistics available for the equatorial is small and the periods of measurement are short compared to those for temperate regions.

星间洛仑兹力编队飞行的平衡点及零速度曲面

提出了一种新的利用星间洛仑兹力控制卫星相对运动的方法:使主星产生自旋磁场,副星带电,通过控制副星所受的星间洛仑兹力进行编队。假设主星产生的人造磁场表现为偶极子并且运动在一条开普勒圆形轨道上,副星恒定带电并在主星附近运动,同时假设星间洛仑兹力只影响副星的运动而不影响主星的运动。推导了副星在主星HCW(当地垂直当地地平坐标系)坐标系下的相对运动动力学方程。针对偶极子与HCW坐标轴X轴重合的情况下,推导了动力系统下的平衡点(并采用稳定性分析方法分析其线性化意义下的稳定性)、积分常数和零速度曲面,证明了有界相对运动的存在。最后用数值仿真验证了上述结论。

Location-aware channel estimation for capacity gains on multibeam satellite links

Bandwidth is an expensive and scarce resource, thus its efficient exploitation is of paramount importance. Recent communication satellites feature sophisticated spatial access strategies through spot beams providing this way a total throughput in the range of 100 Gbit/s. Next generations of communication satellites, as postulated in the Satellite Communications Network of Experts (SatNEx) III, a project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) for advanced research in satellite communications, require technological developments to achieve the Tbit/s region. Multibeam architectures formed by a central gateway, a multibeam satellite, and an aggressive frequency reuse strategy can meet such ambitious design goals. Interference problems are tackled by appropriate countermeasures such as (joint) precoding and beamforming on the forward link as well as multi-user detection on the return link; these methods require accurate and timely knowledge of the channel state, which in turn necessitates suitable algorithms for channel estimation. This paper addresses performance issues related to channel state estimation on the symbol-synchronous forward link and the frame-synchronous return link. It highlights for both directions the potential performance gain by assuming a priori knowledge of the user position, in this context referred to as location-aware channel estimation.
