Abstract

En 中文

The rapid expansion of non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellites alongside existing geostationary orbit (GSO) systems has intensified spectrum congestion and inter-system interference, placing stringent demands on real-time interference management to sustain reliable coexistence in next-generation communication networks. While existing machine learning (ML)-based reconstruction models have made strides, they remain constrained to an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.83 due to fixed thresholds, causing unacceptable false alarm rates that undermine critical link reliability. Additionally, their decoupled training paradigm neglects cross-domain dependencies, limiting time and frequency-domain AUCs to 0.83 and 0.71, respectively. To address these limitations, this paper introduces a semi-supervised satellite interference detection framework named Agon, employing a novel two-stage hybrid learning paradigm. Agon integrates masked autoencoder (MAE) pre-training of a dual attention transformer (DAT) with multi-task fine-tuning to optimize a direct binary classifier, effectively eliminating unstable thresholds. Furthermore, it incorporates high-order statistics (HOS)-augmented attention and wavelet regularization to bolster noise robustness and structural fidelity. Extensive validation on public NGSO-GSO dataset and a high-fidelity NGSO-NGSO dataset demonstrates that Agon achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) detection performance, with a 25.3% improvement in AUC. Moreover, the multi-task learning (MTL) framework facilitates accurate modulation classification with accuracies exceeding 90%, while simultaneously maintaining optimal detection performance across diverse scenarios characterized by varying off-axis angles and interference-to-noise ratios (INRs).
