Abstract(in English) This paper focuses on satellite MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output) technology to increase the capacity of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications. In previous research, LEO-MIMO communication requires control signals to estimate the Doppler frequencies of each satellite. The control signal is allocated a different frequency band to avoid inter-carrier interference with other signals. However, as the number of communication LEO satellites increases, the bandwidth of the control signal becomes wider and the bandwidth for the MIMO signal becomes narrower. In other words, the problem is that the capacity of LEO-MIMO decreases with the increase in the number of communication LEO satellites. Therefore, this study attempts to suppress the communication capacity reduction by superimposing control signals. This technique can improve the bandwidth of the control signal is constant regardless of the number of satellites, and suppress capacity reduction regardless the number of satellites. On the other hands, superimposed control signals technique degrades the Doppler frequency estimation accuracy due to inter-carrier interference. To tackle of the problem, we propose the novel Doppler frequency estimation using Deep learning techniques. This paper deal with Doppler shift estimation for control signals with three or more superimposed waveforms and unlearned waveforms. In order to improve the estimation accuracy, we employed convolutional neural networks in addition to deep neural networks and compared their performance.
