• Abstract: Direct Low Earth Orbit satellite-to-handheld links are expected to be part of a new era in satellite communications. Space-Division Multiple Access precoding is a technique that reduces interference among satellite beams, therefore increasing spectral efficiency by allowing cooperating satellites to reuse frequency. Over the past decades, optimal precoding solutions with perfect channel state information have been proposed for several scenarios, whereas robust precoding with only imperfect channel state information has been mostly studied for simplified models. In particular, for Low Earth Orbit satellite applications such simplified models might not be accurate. In this paper, we use the function approximation capabilities of the Soft Actor-Critic deep Reinforcement Learning algorithm to learn robust precoding with no knowledge of the system imperfections.

  This paper proposes a novel FL-SEC framework that empowers satellites to execute large-scale machine learning (ML) tasks onboard efficiently. Key components include personalized learning via divide-and-conquer, which identifies and eliminates redundant satellite images, and orbital model retraining, which generates an aggregated "orbital model" per orbit and retrains it before sending to the ground station. Our approach dramatically reduces FL convergence time by nearly 30 times, and satellite energy consumption down to as low as 1.38 watts, all while maintaining an exceptional accuracy of up to 96%.
