Description
Summary:Multi-beam satellite communication systems can improve the resource utilization and system capacity effectively. However, the inter-beam interference, especially for the satellite system with full frequency reuse, will degrade the system performance greatly due to the characteristics of multi-beam satellite antennas. In this article, the user scheduling and resource allocation of a multi-beam satellite system with full frequency reuse are jointly studied, in which all beams can use the full bandwidth. With the strong inter-beam interference, we aim to minimize the system latency experienced by the users during the process of data downloading. To solve this problem, deep reinforcement learning is used to schedule users and allocate bandwidth and power resources to mitigate the inter-beam interference. The simulation results are compared with other reference algorithms to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
