Abstract

Next generation communication networks incorporate Land Mobile Satellite (LMS) systems in order to provide greater areas of coverage and higher throughput for specific applications. Cooperation between satellite communication networks and terrestrial relays is or increasing the system’s performance and availability. In this paper, the outage performance of a cooperative hybrid satellite and terrestrial system configuration is analytically evaluated assuming that the satellite links suffer from shadowed Rician fading, while the terrestrial link suffers from the Nakagami-m fading. Two cooperative relaying strategies are examined and the final formulas for the calculation of the outage probability are given. Moreover, a block diagram for the generation of time series for the reliable simulations of the outage probability of the cooperative hybrid land mobile satellite systems is given. The theoretical results and the simulation results almost coincide. Moreover, extended numerical results investigate the impact, of different shadowing conditions and more generally of the satellite links elevation angles, on the overall cooperative LMS system performance.
