Abstract: Accurate Doppler frequency estimation for Low Earth Orbit (LEO)-based Signals of Opportunity (SoOP) positioning faces significant challenges from extreme dynamics (±40 kHz Doppler shift, 0.4 Hz/ms fluctuation) and severe SNR fluctuations induced by multi-beam switching. Empirical analysis reveals that phased-array beamforming generates three-tiered SNR fluctuation patterns during unpredictable beam handovers, rendering conventional single-algorithm solutions fundamentally inadequate. To address this limitation, we propose KDFE (KNN-Driven Fusion Estimator)—an adaptive framework integrating the Rife–Vincent algorithm and MLE via intelligent switching. Global FFT processing extracts real-time Doppler-SNR parameter pairs, while a KNN-based arbiter dynamically selects the optimal estimator by: (1) Projecting parameter pairs into historical performance space, (2) Identifying the accuracy-optimal algorithm for current beam conditions, and (3) Executing real-time switching to balance accuracy and robustness. This decision model overcomes the accuracy-robustness trade-off by matching algorithmic strengths to beam-specific dynamics, ensuring optimal performance during abrupt SNR transitions and high Doppler rates. Both simulations and field tests demonstrate KDFE's dual superiority: Doppler estimation errors were reduced by 26.3% (vs. Rife–Vincent) and 67.9% (vs. MLE), and 3D positioning accuracy improved by 13.6% (vs. Rife–Vincent) and 49.7% (vs. MLE). The study establishes a pioneering framework for adaptive LEO-SoOP positioning, delivering a methodological breakthrough for LEO navigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
