Abstract

In this paper, we present physical layer and system level techniques that can increase the capacity of a multi-beam high throughput satellite (HTS) communication system. These include advanced predistortion and equalization techniques for the forward link, synchronization and non-linear distortion minimization techniques for the return link waveforms. Interference management techniques such as precoding, multi-user detection (MUD), interference cancellation and coordination are evaluated under realistic co-channel interference (CCI) conditions. Interference-aware radio resource management (RRM) algorithms are presented for the forward and return links with full frequency reuse. These include satellite-switched smart gateway diversity, interferenceaware scheduling (IAS) for the forward link and scheduling based on multi-partite graph matching for the return link. The capacity enhancing techniques are evaluated in the Broadband Access via Integrated Terrestrial and Satellite Systems (BATS) framework.
