Performance Analysis of Amplify-and-Forward Hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial Networks with Cochannel Interference
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward hybrid satellite-terrestrial co-operative network in the presence of cochannel interference (CCI). More specifically, we assume that both the satellite-destination and the ...
