Cluster Reception of DVB-S2 Signals for Mobile Terminals
Luca Simone Ronga, E. Del Re, Fabrizio Gandon · 2007
The problem addressed in this work is the direct reception of DVB-S(2) satellite signals from mobile terminals equipped with low gain (non directive) antennas. DVB-S2 is broadcasted with GEO satellites and mobile receivers usually need great antenna gains in order to compensate the large pathloss encountered in the downlink. Cooperation strategies can help in this context. In the paper we show analytical and simulated performances of a physical level link cooperation conducted by a cluster of mobile users in the vicinity of the current active user.
