Abstract:

Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite becomes an important part of the space-air-ground integrated network for its low transmission loss and little terrestrial interference. Due to the large delay of satellite-to-ground transmission link, the existing satellite communication process cannot achieve real-time channel state information interaction, which leads to the system's inability to adapt to the change of channel status. To solve this problem, an signal to noise ratio (SNR) prediction method based on long short-term memory (LSTM) network is proposed. Modulation and coding scheme (MCS) can be adjusted based on the predicted SNR to match the rapidly changing channel. Simulation results show that the proposed SNR prediction method based on LSTM network can achieve high accuracy, and the adjustment of MCS based on the predicted SNR in real-time can greatly improve the overall throughput of the system.

Key words: low orbit satellite communication, system throughput, signal to noise ratio (SNR) prediction, long short-term memory (LSTM) network, modulation and coding scheme
