摘要

摘要: 为了更好地平衡多波束卫星通信系统的频谱效率和能量效率，以及保证多用户服务场景下的用户服务公平性，该文提出一种基于公平效用函数的波束成形(BF)方案。具体而言，首先在同时考虑卫星发射功率最小化准则以及系统和速率最大化准则的前提下，建立一个多目标优化问题，并在最大化系统频谱效率的同时利用$\alpha $公平效用函数提升用户间的服务公平性。然后利用加权和方法对复杂的多目标问题进行转换处理，并提出一种联合使用循环坐标上升(CCA)方法以及回溯直线搜索(BLS)方法的波束成形方案，从而求得最优的波束成形权矢量以及最优的帕累托解集。最后计算机仿真结果验证了所提方案的用户服务公平性，以及分析一些典型参数对公平性能的影响。并通过与其他传统方案相比，验证所提方案能够获得更高的系统频谱效率。

Abstract: To balance the spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency of multi-beam satellite communication system, and guarantee the fairness of user service in multiusers scenarios, a fairness utility function-based BeamForming (BF) scheme is proposed. Specifically, considering the satellite transmit power minimization criteria and the system sum rate maximization criteria, a multi-objective optimization problem is first formulated, which adopts the $\alpha $-fairness function to improve the fairness of user service as maximizing the system spectrum efficiency. Then, the weighted sum method is used to transform the complexity multi-objective optimization problem, and a BF scheme based on the Cyclic Coordinate Ascent (CCA) method and the Backtracking Line Search (BLS) method is proposed to obtain the optimal BF weight vectors and the optimal Pareto set. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the fairness of user service of the proposed BF scheme, and the influence of some typical parameters on the system fairness performance are analyzed. Besides, in comparison with the conventional schemes, the proposed scheme is capable of enhancing the system spectrum efficiency.
