Performance Analysis of Spectrum Sensing Based on Distributed Satellite Clusters under Perturbation

In this paper,we investigate the spectrum sensing performance of a distributed satellite clusters(DSC)under perturbation,aiming to enhance the sensing ability of weak signals in the coexistence of strong and weak signals.Specifically,we propose a cooperative beamforming(BF)algorithm though random antenna array theory to fit the location characteristic of DSC and derive the average far-field beam pattern under perturbation.Then,a constrained optimization problem with maximizing the signal to interference plus noise ratio(SINR)is modeled to obtain the BF weight vectors,and an approximate expression of SINR is presented in the presence of the mismatch of signal steering vector.Finally,we derive the closedform expression of the detection probability for the considered DSC over Shadowed-Rician fading channels.Simulation results are provided to validate our theoretical analysis and to characterize the impact of various parameters on the system performance.

Selective PNC in Satellite-Terrestrial Network over Non-Identical Fading Channels

We analyze the performance of a twoway satellite-terrestrial decode-and-forward(DF) relay network over non-identical fading channels.In particular,selective physical-layer network coding(SPNC) is employed in the proposed network to improve the average end-to-end throughput performance.More specifically,by assuming that the DF relay performs instantaneous throughput comparisons before performing corresponding protocols,we derive the expressions of system instantaneous bit-error-rate(BER),instantaneous end-to-end throughput,average end-to-end throughput,single node detection(SND)occurrence probability and average end-to-end BER over non-identical fading channels.Finally,theoretical analyses and Monte Carlo simulation results are presented.Evaluations show that:1) SPNC protocol outperforms the conventional physical-layer network coding(PNC) protocol in infrequent light shadowing(ILS),average shadowing(AS) and frequent heavy shadowing(FHS) Shadowed-Rician fading channels.2) As the satellite-relay channel fading gets more sewere,SPNC protocol can achieve more performance improvement than PNC protocol and the occurrence probability of SND protocol increases progressively.3) The occurrence probability increase of SND has a beneficial effect on the average end-to-end throughput in low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) regime,while the occurrence probability decrease of SND has a beneficial effect on the average end-to-end BER in highSNR regime.
