Abstract

Security is a critical issue for multi-beam low earth orbit satellite constellations (MLLSCs). To secure the downlink transmission while considering the varying beam resources and limited on-board resource of the system, we propose a dynamic beam assignment-based secure beamforming scheme for the MLLSC. Specifically, we formulate an optimization problem to minimize the total transmit power of the satellite constellation while satisfying the secrecy rate constraints and signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) constraints of the users. Since the formulated problem is a complex nonconvex mixed-integer optimization problem, it is split into the solvable beam-forming coefficients optimization problem and beam assignment problem. Consequently, we propose a search algorithm based on genetic algorithm to jointly determine the optimal beam assignment vectors and beamforming vectors. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed scheme.
