Spectrum Database for Coexistence of Terrestrial Fs and Fss Satellite Systems in the 17.7-19.7 Ghz Band
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we develop a database-based spectrum access for the Ka band, allowing fixed satellite services (FSS) receivers to coexist with the terrestrial fixed services (FS) system, thus increasing the downlink capacity of the satellite system. The main focus of this paper is to study FS interference to FSS user terminal receivers in the 17.7-19.7 GHz band as the interference from FSS to FS stations has been found to be minimal. We analyse the FS spectrum use in Finland using the information from the national FS registry, which adds novelty to our approach but, more importantly, makes our analysis realistic and in line with practical systems. The main results regarding spatial distribution, used link distances, transmission powers, antenna heights, and bandwidths are given. This provides a clear view on spectrum sharing possibilities in the band. Obtained information is used in designing secondary use, assuming the FSS system has access to the band at the locations, frequencies, and times where interference-free operation is possible. Coexistence simulations using the ITU-R path loss model P.452-15 and the database design taking into account practical parameters and findings from the FS registry analysis show that the FSS system could clearly increase its capacity.

Resource allocation for cognitive Satellite Communications in Ka-band (17.7-19.7 GHz)
In this paper, we consider the problem of resource allocation in the context of cognitive Satellite Communications (SatCom). In particular, we focus on the cognitive downlink access by Geostationary (GEO) Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) terminals in the band 17.7-19.7 GHz, where the incumbent users are Fixed-Service (FS) microwave links. Assuming a multiple Low Noise Block Converter (LNB) satelli...

This paper addresses the cognitive Geostationary Orbit (GSO) satellite uplink where satellite terminals reuse frequency bands of FixedService (FS) terrestrial microwave links which are the incumbent users in the Ka 27.5-29.5 GHz band. In the scenario considered herein, the transmitted power of the cognitive satellite user has to ensure that the interference impact on potentially present FS link...

Herein, we study the spectral coexistence of Geostationary (GEO) Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) downlink and Broadcasting Satellite Services (BSS) feeder links in the Ka-band (17.3 − 18.1 GHz) which is primarily allocated for BSS feeder links. Firstly, a novel cognitive spectrum exploitation framework is proposed in order to utilize the available band efficiently. Subsequently, based on the int...

Broadband access by satellite in the Ka band is currently constrained by spectrum availability. Cognitive radio has emerged as a promising paradigm to improve the spectrum usage efficiency and cope with spectrum scarcity problems through dynamically detecting and re-allocating white spaces in licensed (incumbent) radio band to unlicensed (cognitive) users. In this context, the EU FP7 project Co...
