Abstract

The integrated satellite-terrestrial network can provide broadband wireless access in a wide coverage, efficient, and cost-effective manner, and is regarded as one of the most promising infrastructures for future heterogeneous network toward fifth generation. With the development of next generation of high throughput satellites (HTS), the application of the millimeter-wave (mmWave) band HTS is viewed as a vital role in the future integrated satellite-terrestrial network. Considering the rain attenuation is the dominant fading factor of the mmWave channel, we first propose a practical time-varying rain attenuation prediction model based on the autoregressive-moving-average (ARMA) model. Then, we develop an adaptive coding transmission (ACT) scheme based on the analog fountain codes combine the ARMA mmWave channel prediction model. The key parameters are selected based on a tradeoff between the decoding failure probability, block length, and overhead for our ARMA-based ACT scheme. Simulation results show that our proposed ACT scheme can effectively improve the throughput.
