This letter investigates the return link performance of a high throughput satellite system with a feeder link using free-space optical technology and a user link employing radio frequency transmission. By combining rate splitting uplink non-orthogonal multiple access with beamforming in the user link, the spectral efficiency can be improved. The study derives a closed-form average throughput expression of the system with the proposed scheme and provides simulation results to demonstrate its superiority.
This letter investigates the return link performance of a high throughput satellite system, where the feeder link uses free-space optical technology while the user link employs radio frequency transmission. Based on the statistical channel state information, we first propose a scheme for combining rate splitting uplink non-orthogonal multiple access with beamforming in the user link to improve the spectral efficiency. Then, by assuming that the user link undergoes the shadowed-Rician fading while the feeder link experiences Malaga turbulence fading with nonzero-boresight pointing error, we derive a closed-form average throughput expression of the system with the proposed scheme. Finally, simulation results are provided to demonstrate the correctness of our theoretical analysis and the superiority of our proposed scheme to some previous works.
