Multi-satellite Non-cooperative Communication Based on Transform Domain Communication System

Abstract

Cognitive communication based on the unoccupied channels of transparent transponders in commercial satellites is a promising method to solve the shortage of satellite spectrum resource. However, most opportunity spectrum access systems cannot obtain real-time channel information from a commercial satellite. Although some systems can achieve non-cooperative communication, they usually utilize single satellite, which limits their overall performance. In this paper, to take full use of unoccupied satellite spectrum without disturbing primary users, a non-cooperative communication method by using satellites of different types is proposed based on transform domain communication system. Compared with existing methods, it is compatible with different transparent transponder parameters, such as frequency, bandwidth, primary user type, and delay. Besides, it also can achieve transmitting rate adaptation without signaling overhead.
