Abstract :
An EHF satellite system for land-mobile applications to be integrated with a terrestrial cellular system is described. An approach to evaluate the carrier-to-cochannel interference occurring in multispot satellite coverage adopting frequency reuse is introduced, and results from the analysis are shown. Criteria for spectrum efficiency evaluation are also outlined along with traffic and link budget estimates. Possible options for payload implementation and mobile terminal design are presented
