Precoded High Throughput Satellite Systems

Authored by Puneeth Jubba Honnaiah, Eva Lagunas, Symeon Chatzinotas, and Jens Krause

In this paper, we focus on the user scheduling design for precoded satellite systems, where both co-channel interference and user demands are taken into account.

In particular, we first classify the sectors in each beam according to the interference they may cause to neighboring beams. Next, we formulate the scheduling problem such as the activation of neighboring beam sectors is avoided while proportionally dwelling on the sectors based on their traffic demands.

The supporting numerical results for different demand distribution profiles validate the effectiveness of proposed interference-aware demand-based user scheduling over conventional scheduling techniques.
