Satellite-Aerial-Terrestrial Communications
摘要
In this work, a cooperative satellite-aerial-terrestrial communication (CSATC) system, which consists of a satellite transmitter (S), an aerial relay (R), and a group of terrestrial receivers ( \(\mathrm{{D}}_i\) , \(1 \le i \le N\) ), is considered, as shown in Fig. 4.1. Specifically, S delivers its information to terrestrial receivers via the help of R, due to the deep fading between S and D, and the hardware limitations of terrestrial receivers (e.g., wireless sensors and common mobile phones) on realizing large-size radio-frequency receiving front end. Decode-and-forward (DF) relay scheme is adopted at R to process and forward the received signals from S.
