Description

This paper investigates a novel closed-form non-iterative precoding technique for multicast multibeam satellite systems. Next-generation satellite systems will be benefited from the flexible use of the satellite resources especially its power flexible allocation among beams. Intending to obtain a low-computational complexity design, we revisit the well-known signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio design for multicast transmission. Two alternatives are introduced considering both the physical meaning of the ratio and certain multicast channel vector mapping. We observe the benefits of these techniques in satellite flexible payloads. The proposed technique shows a substantial gain compared to the benchmark according to the numerical simulations. Intuitive insights on the precoding behaviour are also presented. © 2021 European Signal Processing Conference. All rights reserved.
