The protocol processing function of traditional satellite communication systems is generally placed in the ground station system for processing, with poor flexibility and low efficiency. As a result, a reconfigurable digital satellite-borne base station architecture design is suggested, allowing for separation of the hardware and software of the satellite-borne base station and flexible programming and dynamic loading of the satellite-borne base station\u2019s functions by software. Meanwhile, a fast adaptive migration algorithm based on multi-dimensional environment awareness is proposed on top of the reconfigurable digital base station, and migration precomputation and real-time computation are added in order to realize rapid deployment of the digital base station system network. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in enhancing system stability and decreasing real-time calculation costs associated with system network migration under conditions of high dynamic changes for each network element in a star-loaded environment. In conclusion, a digital satellite-borne base station system that effectively addresses the issues of low flexibility and high dynamic changes of nodes in the resource-constrained satellite environment can be created by combining the adaptive migration algorithm and the reconfigurable digitized satellite-borne base station architecture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23177591","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,1]],"date-time":"2023-09-01T09:12:22Z","timestamp":1693559542000},"page":"7591","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Reconfigurable Digital Satellite-Borne Base Station Design and Virtual Function Fast Migration Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Yuanji","family":"Shi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Telecommunications and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ping","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Telecommunications and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaorong","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Telecommunications and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongbo","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Telecommunications and Information Engineering, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2021).
