Analysis of Communication Channel Characteristics of LUNA Lunar Base Based on Ray Tracing Method

  • 摘要: 在探月任务中,创建月球基地是一项重要任务。为了满足月球基地获取高清晰度视频和科学数据的高速数据传输需求,以及宇航员和月球探测车等设备支持高容量数据速率通信的需求,需要充分利用太赫兹频段的频谱资源。太赫兹频段的频谱资源相对较为丰富,可以提供更大的带宽和更快的通信速率。本文以LUNA月球基地为研究对象,采用信道建模的方法,对该场景下的太赫兹频段信道特性进行了仿真和分析。通过对该信道特性的评估,为未来的月球基地通信系统方案设计提供链路等方面的性能评估。首先本文对LUNA月球基地的工作模块和居住模块的构造进行了详细的研究。采用了射线追踪法和单刃形衍射模型的混合建模方法,建立了一种适用于月球基地内近距离通信场景的多射线信道模型。最终推导出了适用于该场景链路的信道容量模型。其次本文对LUNA月球基地的工作模块LUNA大厅和居住模块FLEXHab进行了建模,并借助太赫兹信道模拟器CloudRT进行信道仿真。对信道的大尺度衰落特性和小尺度衰落特性进行了分析。最后为了估算信道容量,采用了注水功率和等功率分配两种不同的分配方式。所提出的信道模型可用于评估太赫兹频段月球基地内通信系统的性能,并对月球基地通信系统的建设提供理论依据和参考。

     

    Abstract: ‍ ‍Creating a lunar base is an important task for lunar exploration missions. To meet the high-speed data transmission requirements for obtaining high-definition videos and scientific data from the lunar base, as well as the communication needs of equipment such as space suits and lunar rovers, including high-capacity data rates, it is necessary to make full use of the spectrum resources in the terahertz frequency band. These are relatively abundant and can provide a larger bandwidth and faster communication rates. This study used the channel modeling method to simulate and analyze the terahertz frequency band channel characteristics in the LUNA lunar-base scenario. Evaluating the channel characteristics provided a performance evaluation of the link and other aspects, which can be utilized in the future design of the lunar-base communication system. First, a detailed study was conducted on the construction of the working and living modules for the LUNA lunar base. A multiray channel model suitable for short-range communication scenarios in the lunar base was established by using a hybrid modeling method that included ray tracing and a single edge diffraction model. Finally, a channel capacity model that was suitable for this scenario was derived. Second, the LUNA Hall working module and FLEXHab residence module of the LUNA lunar base were modeled, and a channel simulation was performed with the help of the terahertz channel simulator CloudRT. The characteristics of large- and small-scale fading were analyzed. Finally, two different allocation methods, water injection power and equal power allocation, were used to estimate the channel capacity. The proposed channel model could be used to evaluate the performance of the lunar-base communication system in the terahertz band, and provide a theoretical basis and reference for the construction of the lunar-base communication system.
