A Dynamic and Reconfigurable Satellite-to-ground Communication System Research Based on LoRa Technology

A dynamic and reconfigurable satellite-to-ground communication system research based on LoRa technology is proposed in this paper. Starting from the application background of the internet of things (IoT) on the low earth orbit (LEO) satellite, this paper proposes a modulation parameter dynamic and reconfigurable technology for the Long Range (LoRa) signal, so as to improve the reliability of the IoT used in the satellite-to-ground communication system. Then, a parameter reconstitution method is designed in detail according to the satellite-to-ground communication link budget, and this method has the advantages of low complexity and less resources. Meanwhile, in this communication system, a desired bit rate can be selected based on the parameter reconstitution method to support different application. Simulation results show that the dynamic and reconfigurable satellite-to-ground communication system can work as expected, and this research possesses a great guidance in making the space-based IoT.
