Context and Token for Satellite Communications Investment Research Knowledge Base Construction

Satellite communications investment research data primarily comes from public orbital ephemeris databases, satellite operator operation reports

What the data for this category looks like

Satellite communications investment research data primarily comes from public orbital ephemeris databases, satellite operator operation reports, industry regulatory frequency band documents, and third-party link test documents. Data update cadence falls into two categories: scheduled and real-time. Orbital parameters are updated quarterly. Frequency band allocation documents are updated irregularly alongside regulatory adjustments. Link test data is updated with project progress. Document formats include structured Excel tables with fields such as orbital inclination, downlink frequency, and bandwidth (units: degrees, GHz, MHz), PDF-format ephemerides and research reports, and a small amount of JSON-formatted real-time status data.

The multi-field structured nature of satellite communications investment research data leads to higher token consumption per associated document than general investment research categories. Total token count for context windows must be controlled appropriately. Frequently updated data sources require frequent refreshes of knowledge base-associated context to avoid outdated orbital or frequency band data. Inconsistent units across different documents increase token overhead for context unification verification. Unit conversion must be completed during the preprocessing stage. Splitting long-text ephemerides and research reports must retain associations between fields, otherwise the context will lose critical link logic.

How to set the configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended Value RangeRationale
maxContextTokens8000–12000Satellite communications investment research documents include multi-field structured tables and long-text research reports. Token consumption per associated data item is higher than that of general investment research categories
chunkSize1000–1500 charactersBalances the integrity of structured fields and token utilization, avoids losing critical parameters such as link budget during single-segment splitting
recallCountTop 8–10 itemsSatellite communications investment research data has strong relevance. A sufficient number of associated documents must be recalled to cover the complete link of orbital, frequency band, and operation data
rerankTopNTop 4–6 itemsFilters low-relevance redundant satellite orbital data, reduces invalid token consumption
tokenLimitPerChat15000–20000Investment research conversations require multiple calls to associated documents. The token upper limit for a single conversation must cover context and reply content
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS300 secondsParsing large satellite orbital ephemeris tables takes a long time. Extending the parsing timeout period prevents task failure

The parameter values provided on this page are conventional recommendations used as a starting point for configuration. Actual values are affected by material format, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require individual analysis. It is recommended to test against your own samples before finalizing settings.

Three common configuration mistakes

  • When calling the workflow API, the returned reply does not carry historical context, and the log shows that the context_id field is empty. Cause: The correct session token is not carried in the request body or request header of the API request, or the workflow does not have the global context binding configuration enabled.
  • When deploying the BGE reranking model, the AC_APP_ID related parameters are missing from the environment configuration in docker-compose.yml. After startup, the reranking service returns a 401 Unauthorized error. Cause: Authentication parameters required for model access are not configured correctly, preventing normal invocation of reranking capabilities.
  • After switching teams and initiating a conversation, the context is still bound to the knowledge base content of the original team, and the recalled documents displayed on the interface are not updated. Cause: The team_token field of the current team is not carried in the session request, causing the knowledge base range associated with the context to not be switched synchronously.

How to confirm the configuration is properly set

  • Initiate a test conversation that includes satellite orbital inclination and downlink frequency, verify that the fields referenced in the reply match the uploaded original documents.
  • View the session context log, confirm that the token consumption of the current session does not exceed the configured maxContextTokens upper limit.
  • Check the running log of the reranking service, confirm that the number of returned associated documents matches the configured rerankTopN parameter.
  • Switch teams and initiate a new conversation, verify that the recalled knowledge base content belongs to the satellite communications investment research dataset of the current team.
