Abstract

In this paper, interference-aware radio resource management (RRM) algorithms are presented for the forward and return links of geostationary orbit (GEO) high throughput satellite (HTS) communication system. For the feeder link, satellite-switched smart gateway diversity is combined with two scheduling methods to improve the feeder link availability in rain conditions. For the user link, interference-aware scheduling (IAS) for the forward link and scheduling based on multi-partite graph matching for the return link are shown to enable full frequency reuse (FR) multi-beam satellite systems. The performance assessment of scheduling algorithms is carried out in a system-level simulator with realistic channel models and system assumptions. The improvements of the system capacity and user rates are evaluated.
