Multi-beam satellite communication systems are promising architectures in the future. A packet is transmitted by multi-satellite and multi-beam cooperatively, which can provide efficient spectrum utilization, improve system throughput, and guarantee Quality of Services (QoS). In multi-beam satellite communication systems, multi-layer and multi-dimensional radio resources change dynamically, which leads to the discontinuity of optimal resources and the lack of mapping balance between packets and radio resources. To deal with these problems, we propose a cross-layer and cross-dimension radio resources optimization model based on the weighted discrete firefly algorithm and an adaptive packet segmentation scheme based on the irregular gradient algorithm. The cross-layer and cross-dimension radio resources optimization model based on the weighted discrete firefly algorithm simulates cross-layer and cross-dimension optimization for the high-dynamic and multi-dimensional radio resources by considering the channel state information (CSI) and QoS in the multi-beam satellite communication system. The optimal resources are taken as the weight of irregular gradient algorithm to segment packets and map packets to radio resources, which can realize the mapping balance between packets and radio resources and ensure the efficiency and reliability of communication. The simulations show that the new transmission scheme improves the normalized system throughput and user satisfaction index by 18.7% and 6.2%, respectively.

The technical aspects of the main promising projects in the segments of medium and low-orbit satellite communication systems are considered, as well as the project of the domestic low-orbit information and telecommunications system using the terahertz range, which is based on the use of satellite platforms of the micro- and nanosatellite class and the distribution of functional blocks of complex satellite payloads more high-end on multiple functionally related satellites. The proposed system of low-orbit satellite communications represents the groupings of low-orbit spacecraft (LEO-system) with the architecture of a "distributed satellite", which include the groupings of the root (leading) satellites and satellite repeaters (slaves). Root satellites are interconnected in a ring network by high-speed links between the satellites. The geometric size of the “distributed satellite” is the area around the root satellite with a radius of about 1 km. The combination of beams, which are formed by the repeater satellites, make up the service area of the LEO system. The requirements for the integrated service area of the LEO system (geographical service area) determine the requirements for the number of distributed satellites in the system as a whole. In the proposed system to reduce mutual interference between the grouping of the root (leading) satellites and repeater satellites (slaves) and, accordingly, minimizing distortions of the information signal when implementing inter-satellite communication, this line (radio channel) was created in an unlicensed frequency (e.g., in the terahertz 140 GHz) range. In addition, it additionally allows you to minimize the size of the antennas of such a broadband channel and simplify the operation of these satellite systems.
