“…However, it is impossible to be equipped with large antennas and high power supply for mobile terminals that need to communicate with each other around the world, such as handsets; the idea of employing lower altitude satellites is put into practice.

In LEO mobile satellite network, the L/S frequency availability is an essential task for global communication but entails several major technical challenges: high sampling rate required for wideband sensing, limited power and computing resources for processing load, and frequency-selective wireless fading. This paper investigates the issue of frequency availability in LEO mobile satellite system, and a novel wideband spectrum compressed signal detection approach is proposed to obtain active primary users (PUs) subbands and their locations that should be avoided during frequency allocation. We define the novel wideband spectrum compressed sensing method based on discrete sine transform (DST-WSCS), which significantly improves the performance of spectrum detection and recovery accuracy compared with conventional discrete Fourier transform based wideband spectrum compressed sensing scheme (DFT-WSCS). Additionally, with the help of intersatellite links (ISL), the scheme of multiple satellites cooperative sensing according to OR and MAJ decision fusion rules is presented to achieve spatial diversity against wireless fading. Finally, in-depth numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme in aspect of signal detection probability, reconstruction precision, processing time, and so forth.

“…Satellite networks usually cover a large area; many of them could provide global coverage. Based on the different orbit heights from low to high, communication satellite orbits could be classified as Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) [4]. The hybrid network of MANET and satellite network, with the advantage of global coverage and high flexibility and mobility, could be an ideal selection, sometimes the only selection, for providing a reliable communication network for disaster sites.…”

Abstract-Communication technologies are very important for disaster management. Satellite network's advantage of large coverage and Mobile Ad hoc Network's (MANET) advantage of high flexibility could be ideal for disaster management. In this paper, the authors propose a novel scheme for providing reliable wireless communications in disaster sites with a hybrid network of terrestrial MANET and satellite network. In comparison with normal wireless routing approaches, i.e. AODV and AOMDV, the proposed scheme could achieve higher packet delivery ratio, higher throughput and lower delay; meanwhile it could also balance traffic loads at gateways to maximum satellite links' utilization.

In this paper, the ergodic channel capacity of the downlink is analyzed for a hybrid satellite-terrestrial cooperative system, which consists of a satellite (the source), a mobile terminal (the destination), and several gap fillers (the relays) located at the ground. The links between the satellite and the relays and the link between the satellite and the destination experience independent shadowed Rician fading, and the links between the relays and the destination experience Rayleigh fading. The maximal ratio combining technique is used at the destination to combine the direct signal received from the satellite and the relayed signals from relays with different cooperative protocols, namely amplifyand-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF). The moment generating function (MGF)-based approach is adopted to derive the closed-form expressions of the ergodic downlink channel capacity of the hybrid satellite-terrestrial cooperative system. The numerical results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations and numerical results calculated with the existing analytical expressions. Comparison results show that the analytical expression derived with the MGF-based approach can achieve a higher accuracy in the low signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) regime for the single relay scenario, and significantly reduce the computational complexity with a little loss of accuracy for multiple relays scenario. On other hand, the ergodic downlink channel capacity of the hybrid satellite-terrestrial DF cooperative system is generally higher than that of the AF cooperative system. Moreover, the ergodic channel capacity of the hybrid satellite-terrestrial cooperative system decreases as the number of participating relays increases, which can be overcome using the best relay selection strategy. In addition, the ergodic downlink channel capacity of the hybrid satellite-terrestrial cooperative system increases when the channel condition of the link between the satellite and the relay goes better, and is larger than that of the no relay land mobile satellite system when the transmitted SNR is below a certain value.
