Fig1. Satellite Communication Networks: Resource Optimization
[Description]
Development and performance analysis of power and channel allocation strategies with beam sweeping for satellite communication networks. We design adaptive methods that select beam direction/schedule, allocate transmit power, and assign channels under time-varying links to improve throughput, coverage, and interference robustness.

Fig3. Satellite Communication Networks: Interference Analysis
[Description]
We conduct interference analysis for satellite communication networks by modeling and quantifying aggregate interference from coexisting systems under realistic deployment and propagation conditions. Based on metrics such as I/N and SINR, we evaluate protection criteria compliance and derive insights to support spectrum sharing, interference mitigation, and reliable network operation.
