In mega-constellation Communication Systems, efficient routing algorithms and data transmission technologies are employed to ensure fast and reliable data transfer. However, the limited computational resources of satellites necessitate the use of edge computing to enhance secure communication.While edge computing reduces the burden on cloud computing, it introduces security and reliability challenges in open satellite communication channels. To address these challenges, we propose a blockchain architecture specifically designed for edge computing in mega-constellation communication systems. This architecture narrows down the consensus scope of the blockchain to meet the requirements of edge computing while ensuring comprehensive log storage across the network. Additionally, we introduce a reputation management mechanism for nodes within the blockchain, evaluating their trustworthiness, workload, and efficiency. Nodes with higher reputation scores are selected to participate in tasks and are appropriately incentivized. Simulation results demonstrate that our approach achieves a task result reliability of 95% while improving computational speed.

With the development of the transportation industry, the effective guidance of aircraft in an emergency to prevent catastrophic accidents remains one of the top safety concerns. Undoubtedly, operational status data of the aircraft play an important role in the judgment and command of the Operational Control Center(OCC). However, how to transmit various operational status data from abnormal aircraft back to the OCC in an emergency is still an open problem. In this paper, we propose a novel Telemetry, Tracking,and Command(TT&C) architecture named Collaborative TT&C(CoTT&C) based on mega-constellation to solve such a problem. CoTT&C allows each satellite to help the abnormal aircraft by sharing TT&C resources when needed, realizing real-time and reliable aeronautical communication in an emergency. Specifically, we design a dynamic resource sharing mechanism for CoTT&C and model the mechanism as a single-leader-multi-follower Stackelberg game. Further, we give an unique Nash Equilibrium(NE) of the game as a closed form. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed resource sharing mechanism is effective, incentive compatible, fair, and reciprocal. We hope that our findings can shed some light for future research on aeronautical communications in an emergency.

The mega-constellation network has gained significant attention recently due to its great potential in providing ubiquitous and high-capacity connectivity in sixth-generation(6G)wireless communication systems.However,the high dynamics of network topology and large scale of mega-constellation pose new challenges to the constellation simulation and performance evaluation.In this paper,we introduce UltraStar,a lightweight network simulator,which aims to facilitate the complicated simulation for the emerging mega-constellation of unprecedented scale.Particularly,a systematic and extensible architecture is proposed,where the joint requirement for network simulation,quantitative evaluation,data statistics and visualization is fully considered.For characterizing the network,we make lightweight abstractions of physical entities and models,which contain basic representatives of networking nodes,structures and protocol stacks.Then,to consider the high dynamics of Walker constellations,we give a two-stage topology maintenance method for constellation initialization and orbit prediction.Further,based on the discrete event simulation(DES)theory,a new set of discrete events is specifically designed for basic network processes,so as to maintain network state changes over time.Finally,taking the first-generation Starlink of 11927 low earth orbit(LEO)satellites as an example,we use UltraStar to fully evaluate its network performance for different deployment stages,such as characteristics of constellation topology,performance of end-to-end service and effects of network-wide traffic interaction.The simulation results not only demonstrate its superior performance,but also verify the effectiveness of UltraStar.

The rejuvenation of non-geostationary orbit(NGSO)satellite communication holds the promise of seamless and ubiquitous broadband access from the space.However,the NGSO constellations must share the scarce radio spectrum resources with geostationary orbit(GSO)satellite systems,which results in dynamically changing and unevenly distributed interference to GSO systems.In this context,the ultra-large-scale NGSO constellation incurs a more complicated interference environment with GSO systems,which raises urgent demands on inter-system interference evaluation.In this case,we investigate the inter-system downlink interference from a NGSO satellite mega-constellation to a GSO earth station.Specifically,we consider the scenario where the NGSO and GSO earth stations are co-located,and apply a novel visibility analysis method in the interference modeling to reduce computation redundancy.The interference evaluation is then performed through comprehensive simulations,in which the Starlink constellation with more than 4000 satellites is examined for the first time.The simulation results demonstrate various states of interference on the GSO earth station at different deployment locations.It reveals that the number of visible satellites could influence the angle between the main lobe directions of NGSO satellites and the GSO earth station antenna,which further affects the interference level.

Satellite constellations are promising in enabling the global Internet.However,the increasing constellation size also complicates tracking,telemetry and command(TT&C)systems.Traditional groundbased and space-based approaches have encountered significant obstacles due to,e.g.,the limited satellite visible arc and long transmission delay.Considering the fast development of intersatellite communications,synergy among multiple connected satellites can be exploited to facilitate TT&C system designs.This leads to networked TT&C,which requires much less predeployed infrastructures and even performs better than traditional TT&C systems.In this paper,we elaborate system characteristics of networked TT&C compared with traditional ground-based and spacebased TT&C,and propose the unique security challenges and opportunities for networked TT&C,which includes secure routing and trust mechanisms.Furthermore,since networked TT&C is a novel scenario with few relevant researches,we first investigate the current researches on secure routing and trust mechanisms for traditional terrestrial and satellite networks,and then accordingly deliver our security perspectives considering the system characteristics and security requirements of networked TT&C.
