| contents | To achieve ubiquitous wireless connectivity, low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks have drawn much attention. However, effective beam management is challenging due to time-varying cell load, high dynamic network topology, and complex interference situations. In this paper, under inter-satellite handover frequency and satellite-terrestrial/inter-beam interference constraints, we formulate a practical beam management problem, aiming to maximize the long-term service satisfaction of cells. Particularly, Lyapunov framework is leveraged to equivalently transform the primal problem into multiple single epoch optimization problems, where virtual queue stability constraints replace inter-satellite handover frequency constraints. Since each single epoch problem is NP-hard, we further decompose it into three subproblems, including inter-satellite handover decision, beam hopping design and satellite-terrestrial spectrum sharing. First, a proactive inter-satellite handover mechanism is developed to balance handover frequency and satellite loads. Subsequently, a beam hopping design algorithm is presented based on conflict graphs to achieve interference mitigation among beams, and then a flexible satellite-terrestrial spectrum sharing algorithm is designed to satisfy the demands of beam cells and improve spectral efficiency. Simulation results show that our proposal significantly improves service satisfaction compared with baselines, where the average data queue length of beam cells is reduced by over 50% with affordable handover frequency. |
