Learning to Optimize: Balancing Two Conflict Metrics in MB-HTS Networks

For multi-beam high throughput (MB-HTS) geostationary (GEO) satellite networks, the congestion appears when user's demands cannot be fully satisfied. This paper boosts the system performance by formulating and solving the power allocation strategies under the congestion control to admit users. A new multi-objective optimization is formulated to balance the sum data throughput and the satisfied user set. After that, we come up with two different solutions, which efficiently tackle the multi-objective maximization problem: The model-based solution utilizes the weighted sum method to enhance the number of demand-satisfied users, whilst the supervised learning solution offers a low-computational complexity design by inheriting optimization structures as continuous mappings. Simulation results verify that our solutions effectively copes with the congestion and outperforms the data throughput demand than the other previous works.
