Abstract

Abstract

Satellite communication has become a popular study topic owing to its inherent advantages of high capacity, large coverage, and no terrain restrictions. Also, it can be combined with terrestrial communication to overcome the shortcomings of current wireless communication, such as limited coverage and high destructibility. In recent years, the integrated satellite-unmanned aerial vehicle-terrestrial networks (IS-UAV-TNs) have aroused tremendous interests to effectively reduce the transmission latency and enhance quality-of-service with improved spectrum efficiency. However, the rapidly growing access demands and conventional spectrum allocation scheme lead to the shortage of spectrum resources. To tackle the mentioned challenge, the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme and cognitive radio technique are utilized in IS-UAV-TN, which can improve spectrum utilization. In our paper, the transmission capacity of an NOMA-enabled IS-UAV-TN under overlay mode is discussed, specifically, we derive the closed-form expressions of ergodic capacity for both primary and secondary networks. Besides, simulation results are provided to demonstrate the validity of the mathematical derivations and indicate the influences of critical system parameters on transmission performance. Furthermore, the orthogonal multiple access (OMA)-based scheme is compared with our NOMA-based scheme as a benchmark, which illustrates that our proposed scheme has better performance.

The scenario of CIS-UAV-TN may be represented as follows: $ S $ is a geostationary orbit (GEO) satellite, $ U_i $ denotes equipment for DVB-SH, while $ R $ and $ D $ are UAV base station and user established due to temporary activities, which is not allocated authorized spectrum.
The utilization of the single antenna is to reduce the complexity of the system, and our research can be easily extended to multi-antenna scenarios, which will be analyzed in our future work.
Two-user group scheme can reduce user interference and complexity of receivers. At the same time, this paper can be extended to multi-user scenarios, which only needs to divide multi-user into two-user pairs.
This assumption is reasonable and has been adopted in DVB-S2. Besides, our main motivation is to investigate the EC of the proposed system, and the case of imperfect CSI will be considered in our future work.
SR fading can well model satellite-UAV and satellite-terrestrial links due to its accuracy and easy calculation [17]. Moreover, Nakagami-m fading can simulate a variety of wireless fading channels by adjusting channel fading parameters $ m $ [26].
The received signals of two phases are combined in $ U_i $ by utilizing maximal-ratio combining (MRC).
Imperfect SIC is beyond the research scope of this paper. We will consider it in our follow-up research.
