Abstract(in English) To yield a large communication capacity in future mobile satellite communication systems, a multi-beam system must be employed that has extremely high levels of frequency reuse. This paper proposes a novel resource allocation algorithm for multi-beam satellite communication systems that can dynamically offer the virtually maximum communication capacity. The algorithm optimizes frequency bandwidth, satellite transmission power, modulation level and coding rate to each beam to deal with the ever changing traffic distribution considering interference between beams. First, the optimal resource allocation is found by evaluating capacities for all possible resource allocation patterns. Although, this primitive search takes a huge amount of computer calculation power, the achieved communication capacities are higher than with conventional ones such as fixed resource system. In addition, the results of analysis clarify the the optimal condition by which all clusters have the same bandwidth allocation ratio. Second, we propose an optimal resource allocation algorithm utilizing the aforementioned condition as a constraint. By using our algorithm, which is based on sequential quadratic programming, the calculation amount can be drastically reduced. It is confirmed that the algorithm allocate the same bandwidth as that by the primitive search method for varieties of traffic model. This means that the proposed algorithm is applicable for multi-beam satellite resource allocation.
