Abstract

The Internet of Remote Things (IoRT) supported by Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites has provided great convenience to specific intelligent productions, such as smart ocean and remote mining. To enhance system security and reduce the probability of interception, the terminal transmission power is limited to a lower level, resulting in satellite receivers operating under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. To overcome this challenge, communication by multiple collaborative LEO satellites is proposed to improve the SNR through coherent combination. However, different channel conditions cause the signals to arrive at collaborative satellite receivers with various random phase offsets, significantly impacting coherent combining gain. To address this, an iterative distributed phase offset estimation method based on cross-entropy is proposed, enabling the estimation and compensation of phase offsets in collaborative satellites without relying on prior knowledge or introducing redundant symbols. Simulations based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Binary Phase Shift Keying (DSSS-BPSK) modulated signals demonstrate that the algorithm outperforms the SUMPLE algorithm regarding combining gain.
