Design and Improving Techniques for Uplink Reference Signal in LTE Compatible Mobile Satellite Communication System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Reference Signal (RS) is used for channel estimation and sounding in LTE uplink of terrestrial system to accomplish data demodulation. However, the situation in multiple-beam mobile satellite communication system is different. The Uplink Reference Signal (UL-RS) designed in terrestrial LTE doesn’t fit the satellite environment and may result to system performance degradation. In this paper, the UL-RS pattern used in GEO multiple-beam mobile satellite communication system is proposed, as well as two enhancement techniques, i.e., full bandwidth sounding, retransmit and combined receive. System performance index calculation and simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed design.
