Performance analysis of antenna correlation on land mobile satellite based MIMO systems by Yuan LIN, Yuan-zhi HE, Jing-chao WANG, Han HAN

“…The joint effect of spatial correlation and shadowing of channels on the performance of land mobile satellite MIMO system was analyzed.With the help of contour integral,residue theorem and integral of special functions,closed-form approximations of the outage probability (OP) and the average symbol error rate (SER)were derived.The Monte Carlo simulations results were illustrated through several examples in order to assess the impact of correlation coefficient,the number of antenna and different modulation mode on the performance.It shows that although channel correlation and shadowing degrade system gain,significant performance gains can be obtained by multi-satellite MIMO systems compared to relevant single-input single-output (SISO) ones.…”

Application and performance of full-duplex cooperative multicast in NOMA system by Qiao WANG, Yanguo ZHOU, Xinjie YANG, Youming LI, Wei SHI, Bo CHEN

“…The application of cooperative multicast in a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system and its performances was studied where a mixed service scenario consisting of a number of the multicast users and one unicast user was employed.In such a system,a cooperative relay path selection strategy was used and a best channel conditioned multicast user was selected as relay user to relay the unicast user’s signal.The unicast user outage probability and the relay user’s capacity in closed-form were then derived.Mont Carlo simulation results validate the analysis and show that the proposed scheme significantly enhances outage probability for unicast user while maintaining the same ergodic capacity for the relay user.…”
