Abstract:This paper studies multiple-access scenarios where users are cooperatively served by the satellite and terrestrial access points (APs). We derive the uplink ergodic throughput of scheduled users under practical conditions where maximumradio combining is exploited locally at the ground gateway and the APs. The analytical result explicitly unveils the effects of pilot contamination and channel conditions on the achievable throughput of each scheduled user in the uplink data transmission. The system can explicitl… Show more
