Neural network joint capacity-power control strategy based on NSGAII-BP for interference suppression in LEO satellite uplinks

Due to the long distance between satellites and the earth, uplink users need considerable energy to achieve satellite communication. Therefore, the energy efficiency is very important for user terminals. In addition, multibeam Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks may cause cochannel interference between beams because of full frequency reuse. Moreover, power competition among users will easily occur if the users begin to privately increase the transmission power. Power competition limits capacity and reduces energy efficiency. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a power control strategy balancing capacity and energy efficiency. A dual-objective optimization model is established based on the maximum transmission power constraint and the minimum signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) constraint. The model is solved by a back propagation (BP) neural network based on the fast nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGAII). The neural network can adjust the optimization degree of the energy efficiency and capacity by preference factors. The simulation experiment results show that, while the user minimum transmission rate increases, the EE optimization of the NSGAII-BP neural network is better than that of the traditional weighting method.
