Abstract
In this paper, cislunar integrated communication architecture is proposed for future lunar explorations, which builds a communication network with Earth stations, lunar orbiters, lunar relay satellites, manned spaceships and lunar surface explorers, to support the operation of the robotic and crewed lunar research station planned on the South Polar Region. The proposed cislunar integrated communication system is divided into two segments, which are cislunar space communication subsystem and lunar surface communication subsystem. Key design elements are analyzed for each subsystem in detail, including frequency allocation, modulation and channel coding schemes, multiple access, space data link protocols and network protocols. Based on the design parameters of Chinese previous lunar exploring missions, design suggestions are provided for follow-up cislunar communications.
