Adaptive Slicing and High-Reliability Transmission Method for Spacecraft On-Orbit Data

Spacecraft On-orbit data are characterized by large volumes, stringent timeliness requirements, and heterogeneous data values, posing significant challenges to traditional satellite-ground transmission systems. To improve transmission efficiency and reliability under dynamic link conditions, this paper proposes an adaptive data slicing and collaborative reliability enhancement method. First, a joint evaluation model integrating Data Impact and Link Health is developed to evaluate data importance and transmission conditions. Based on the evaluation results, the slice size, priority allocation, and redundancy configuration are dynamically optimized. Second, a distributed collaborative verification mechanism combining Reed–Solomon erasure coding and multi-node arbitration is introduced to enhance data integrity and recovery capability. Furthermore, a mission-driven elastic scheduling strategy is designed to facilitate efficient resource allocation in multi-user transmission scenarios. Experiments were conducted on 100 telemetry files with a total volume of 1.9 GB in a simulated satellite-ground communication environment. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method improves average throughput by 25.3% and achieves a reconstruction success rate of 99.7% across 1,000 packet-loss reconstruction trials.
