Abstract
In recent years, as giant satellite constellations grow rapidly worldwide, the co-existence between constellations has been widely concerned. In this paper, we overview the co-frequency interference (CFI) among the giant non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) constellations. Specifically, we first summarize the CFI scenario and evaluation index among different NGSO constellations. Based on statistics about NGSO constellation plans, we analyse the challenges in mitigation and analysis of CFI. Next, the CFI calculation methods and research progress are systematically sorted out from the aspects of interference risk analysis framework, numerical calculation and link construction. Then, the feasibility of interference mitigation technologies based on space, frequency domain isolation, power control, and interference alignment mitigation in the NGSO mega-constellation CFI scenario are further sorted out. Finally, we present promising directions for future research in CFI analysis and CFI avoidance.
