End-to-End Precoding Validation Over a Live GEO Satellite Forward Link

Jevgenij Krivochiza et al.

Summary: In this paper, we demonstrate end-to-end precoded multi-user multiple-input single-output communications over a live GEO satellite link. Precoded communications enable full frequency reuse schemes in satellite communications to achieve broader service availability and higher spectrum efficiency. We develop a novel over-the-air test-bed for end-to-end precoding validations and successfully demonstrate precoded communications over an actual geostationary orbit multi-beam satellite. The developed system exhibits improved SINR and increased total system goodput, highlighting the benefits of precoding in aggressive full frequency reuse scenarios.

Millimeter-Wave UAV Coverage in Urban Environments

Seongjoon Kang et al.

Summary: Research shows that in urban environments, standard downtilted base station deployments can provide satisfactory UAV coverage, thanks to the combination of antenna sidelobes and strong reflections. As deployments become sparser, coverage is guaranteed only at progressively higher UAV altitudes. The incorporation of base stations dedicated to UAV communication, rooftop-mounted and uptilted, could strengthen the coverage if their density is comparable to that of the standard deployment.
