During the past decades, the single- usersatellitelinkwasgraduallyoptimized,reachingclose-to-Shannonperformances throughstate-of-the-artstandards,suchasDVB-S,DVB-SH,andDVB-RCSfamilies. This process is well documented in current literature, and further improvements usually provide limited performance increments.

It has been just about 50 years since the first Geostationary (GEO) earth satellite waslaunchedtorelaycommunicationdata(Telstar1962).Afewyearslater(1969), thefirstglobalcommercialsatellitesprovidingbroadcastingandtelephonetrunking services were successfully launched by Intelsat, starting a new era for satellite communications(satcom).Inthesameyearthisglobalsatellitenetworktransmitted inrealtimetelevisionimagesofthemoonlandingaroundtheworld.Arecord500 milliontelevisionviewersworldwidesawNeilArmstrong’sfirststepsonthemoon. Theevolutionofsatcomsystemswasrapidandinacoupleofdecadesthecreation of Inmarsat (1979) allowed the development of a system with worldwide mobile satellitecoverageinitiallyservingshipsandairplanesaswellnomadicusers. During this time, technological advances in satcom systems have always been motivatedbyservicedemand.Ononehand,thedemandforsomeservicetypes,e.g., telephonetrunkingacrosscontinentsandmobiletelephonygraduallyattenuatedwith the advent of underwater telephone cables and terrestrial cellular systems. On the other hand, some service types persisted since the dawn of satcoms and have been increasingly supporting the technological progress of satellite systems. The most prominent example in this context is television broadcasting, which still represents themosteconomicallyrelevantapplicationforthesatelliteindustry.Inthemeantime, new services such as broadband internet have surfaced creating new challenges in designing and implementing satcom systems. Nowadays, the demand for fixed and mobile broadband access is ever increasing with various applications in business, education,andentertainment.Theprojectionsfortheincreaseofbroadbanddemand are exponential and all telecom sectors have been struggling to accommodate the needsthroughviabletechnicalsolutionsandsustainablebusinessmodes.Themain cause behind this trend has been the advent of new demanding traffic applications originating in social networking, on-demand multimedia consumption, and cloud computing. The explosion of machine-to-machine applications in the Internet of Things era is also opening new perspectives to satellite in extending the terrestrial networkscoverageforthesekindsofapplications. However, the available frequency resources are becoming scarce due to the spectrum segmentation and the dedicated frequency allocation of the standardized wireless systems. This has become evident during the last decades through the fiercebattlesintheWorldRadioConferenceforsecuringrightstoprimefrequency allocations. In addition, the power consumed by current communications systems xix xx Cooperative and cognitive satellite systems hasbecomealimitingfactorinthefaceofglobalwarming,leadingtotheconceptof greenandsustainableradio.Therefore,itbecomescrucial todefineandinvestigate newnetworkarchitectureswhichhavetheabilitytosupporthighersystemthroughput andenergyefficiency,whileprovidinglarge-scalecoverageandavailability. Inthisdirection,cooperativeandcognitivesatellitesystemsconstituteinnovative and promising network architectures, which can improve the desired performance metrics. Cooperative satellite networks operate by jointly processing multiple data streamswhichmightbelongtomultipleusersororiginatingfrommultipleradiating elements.Inthiscontext,advancedencodinganddecodingtechniquescanbeutilized tomaximizethespectralandenergyefficiency.Inessence,thisisachievedbyemploy- ingmoreaggressivefrequencyreusewhileminimizingtheintrasysteminterference amongthedatastreamsofusers.Ideally,theadditionalsignalprocessingrequiredfor thosetechniquesshouldbeimplementedonthegroundstationinordertomaximize the satellite lifetime and reliability, while minimizing the mass. On the other hand, cognitive satellite systems are based on the coexistence of satellite system with another incumbent system over a common frequency band. This concept is mainly motivated by spectrum scarcity and the underutilization of assigned frequencies. Focusingonaterrestrialincumbentservice,hybridcognitivenetworkscancombine a ground and a satellite component operating over the same frequency bandwidth. Based on cognitive techniques, both ground and satellite components can commu- nicate simultaneously with users without the need of (Frequency Division) orthog- onalization,minimizingadditionalbandwidthrequirements.Furthermore,cognitive satellitenetworkscanbeevenenvisagedontopofanincumbentsatelliteservicein ordertoaddresstheorbitalslotscarcity. This book attempts to provide an overview of recent R&D results and open issues related to cooperative and cognitive satellite systems.

The term cooperation has been used inawiderangeofcontexts,includingreceivercooperation,transmittercooperation, orcooperationthroughrelays.Inthisdirection,cooperationhasalsobeenexploited in satellite communications in order to push the boundaries of single-user link optimization.Morespecifically,noveltransceiverdesignapproacheshaveemployed multiuser, MIMO, and network coding models in order to reap the benefits of cooperation. In this context, a number of new techniques have been investigated in order to maximize frequency reuse while simultaneously mitigating intra- and intersystem interference. The following paragraphs summarize the contributions includedinthisbookandtheirinterconnection. Cooperative and cognitive satellite systems xxi Chapter1focusesonmultibeamjointdecoding,atechniquewhichisutilizedto mitigateinterbeaminterferenceonthereturnlinkoffullfrequencyreusemultibeam satellites. This work covers both fixed and mobile systems using a generic system model and studies the theoretical communication limits in terms of sum rate and outage capacity. Both linear and nonlinear detectors are considered, as well as the impact of practical aspects such as imperfect channel estimation, synchronization issues,andfeederlinklimitations. Chapter2continuesonthepathofChapter1bystudyingthereturnlink,butthis time random access (RA) schemes are motivated by the large terminal population, theburstytraffic,andtheneedforlowsignalingoverhead.Thesecharacteristicsmay apply to a large range of fixed and mobile services, such as consumer broadband access, machine-to-machine communications, supervisory control and data acqui- sition (SCADA), transaction, and safety of life applications. In this direction, this work reviews existing state-of-the-art RA schemes in the communication literature andexaminestheirapplicationtosatellitesystems.Furthermore,thecapacitybounds for spread-spectrum and non spread-spectrum RA schemes are investigated, while satellitesystemsandstandardswhichemployRAarereviewed. Chapter3complementsChapter1byexaminingtheforwardlinkoffullfrequency reusemultibeamsystems.Thistopichasreceivedattentionrecently,whentheDVB (digital video broadcasting) issued the DVB-S2 extension (DVB-S2X) with an optional specification that provides the necessary framing and signaling support to interferencemanagementtechniques.Inthiscontext,state-of-the-artprecodingand userschedulingtechniquesarereviewedandcompared,whileconsideringtheimpact of nonideal system aspects, such as channel phase offsets and imperfect/outdated channel estimates. In addition, practical constraints are discussed, such as frame- basedalgorithms,multiplegatewaysystems,andfeederlinklimitations. Chapter4considersthejointprocessingofmultiplecarriersinsteadofmultiple beams. Toenabletheefficient utilizationofsatellitetransponders,multiplecarriers have to be relayed through a single High-Power Amplifier (HPA). However, the nonlinearnatureoftheHPAresultresultsinadjacentchannelinterferenceandpeak toaveragepowerratio,whichlimittheexpectedperformancegains.Inthiscontext, this work studies signal processing techniques, i.e., predistortion at the gateway and equalization at the user terminal, which can mitigate the intercarrier nonlinear interferenceandimprovethesystemperformance. Chapter 5 investigates on-ground beamforming techniques for the forward and the return link of multibeam mobile satellite systems and is closely related to the conceptsofChapters1and3.Theuseofsuchtechniquesismotivatedbythereduction of the payload complexity, as well as the exploitation of advanced interference mitigation techniques. On the other hand, additional feeder link bandwidth and complexcalibrationprocessesarerequiredtoimplementsuchsystems.Thischapter investigatestheperformanceofon-groundbeamformingtechniquesforbothforward and return link and discusses the related trade-offs, including on-board payload complexityandcalibrationissues.
