Abstract :
Satellite-MIMO, space-time coded for capacity gain, is investigated, and complementary cumulative distribution function outage and capacity predictions are provided using a verified physical-statistical MIMO land mobile-satellite channel model. Capacity results obtained for a single satellite, single antenna terminal (SISO), a dual satellite, single antenna terminal (2×1 MISO) and a dual satellite, dual antenna terminal (2×2 MIMO) system are compared, showing the benefit of satellite-MIMO.
