PS-MADDPG-BGMPOA: Co-Channel Interference Avoidance for LEO Beam-Hopping Satellite Systems via Multi-Parameter Optimization of Beam Geometry
In Low Earth Orbit Beam-Hopping Satellite Systems (L-BHSS), co-channel interference among beams severely degrades communication quality. To address the inter-beam co-channel interference avoidance problem, this paper proposes a Parameter-Sharing Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient-Based Beam Geometry Multi-Parameter Optimization Algorithm (PS-MADDPG-BGMPOA) for the joint optimization of satellite beam geometric parameters. The effects of free-space path loss, atmospheric impairments, and Rician fading are comprehensively considered, and a beam geometric multi-parameter optimization model is formulated with the objective of maximizing the long-term Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR), incorporating beamwidth, beam center offset from the satellite nadir direction angle, inter-beam separation angle, and beam activation states. To tackle the resulting high-dimensional mixed action space, the proposed algorithm employs parameter sharing and grouped decision-making, which alleviates the dimensionality explosion problem and decouples the network scale from the number of beams, enabling efficient cooperative optimization with reduced training complexity. Simulation results show that, under various channel conditions and beam configurations, the proposed method effectively enhances communication quality and spectral efficiency while exhibiting superior real-time performance and stability.
