This paper considers the effect of co-channel interference on hybrid satellite-terrestrial relay network. In particular, we investigate the problem of amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying in hybrid satellite-terrestrial link, where the relay is interfered by multiple co-channel interferers. The direct link between satellite and terrestrial destination is not available due to masking by surroundings. The destination node can only receive signals from satellite with the assistance of a relay node situated at ground. The satellite-relay link is assumed to follow the shadowed Rice fading, while the channels of interferer-relay and relay-destination links experience Nakagami-m fading. For the considered AF relaying scheme, we first derive the analytical expression for the moment generating function (MGF) of the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). Then, we use the obtained MGF to derive the average symbol error rate (SER) of the considered scenario for M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) constellation under these generalized fading channels.

This work investigates the physical layer secrecy of a multi-antenna hybrid satellite-terrestrial relay networks (HSTRN) with jamming, in which a satellite aims to make communication with a destination user by means of a relay, along with spatially random eavesdroppers. In order to weaken the signals of eavesdroppers, the conventional relay can also generate intentional interference, besides forwarding the received signal. Shadowed-Rician fading is adopted in satellite link, while Rayleigh fading is adopted in terrestrial link, eavesdropper link and jamming link. The analytical and asymptotic formulas for the system secrecy outage probability (SOP) are characterized. Practical insights on the diversity order of the network are revealed according to the asymptotic behavior of SOP at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. Then, analysis of the system throughput is examined to assess the secrecy performance. In the end, numerical simulation results are presented to validate the theoretical analysis and point out: (1) The secrecy performance of the considered network is affected by the channel fading scenario, the system configuration; (2) Decrease of the relay coverage airspace can provide better SOP performance; (3) Jamming from the relay can improve secrecy performance without additional network resources.

지상 모바일 위성 통신에서 MRC 기법을 사용하는 하이브리드 위성-지상 중계기 네트워크는 위성으로부터 전송된 신호의 품질을 향상하는데 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 하이브리드 위성-지상 중계기 네트워크에서 TCP 처리율과 spectral efficiency 성능을 수식으로 도출해보고 다양한 환경의 TCP 성능 평가 결과에 대해서 분석해보았다. 분석 결과, MRC 덕분에 지상 중계기의 수를 증가하는 것으로 TCP 처리율과 spectral efficiency 성능을 향상할 수 있지만 채널 상태에 상관없이 고정된 지상 중계기 수를 적용하는 것은 오버헤드가 발생할 수 있다. 또한 TCP 성능은 패킷손실률에 민감하기 때문에 하이브리드 위성-지상중계기 네트워크에서 MRC 기법 적용만으로는 성능 향상에 한계가 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 추가적으로 오버헤드를 줄이고 네트워크 성능을 향상할 수 있는 솔루션들에 대해서도 토론해 본다.
