Abstract

Rain attenuation is one of the most dominant impairment factors that degrade the performance of satellite communications at Ka band and above. In order to solve the technical bottlenecks in the existing Ka-band satellite communication schemes, the authors has introduced the emerging Interleave Division Multiple Access (IDMA) technology into multi-beam satellite communication systems, and consequently, a novel power allocation algorithm is proposed for the emerging and promising system in this paper. The main goal of the proposed scheme is to provide sufficient transmission quality to as many mobiles as possible, even for the users suffering heavy rain attenuation. Analysis and simulation results show that compared to the traditional power allocation schemes, the proposed scheme can guarantee high power efficiency even in heavy rain attenuation conditions, illustrating the high efficiency of the Chip-by-Chip (CBC) Multi-user Detection (MUD) technique in IDMA. Furthermore, in virtue of the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) evolution technique, the proposed scheme can make accurate estimation of available resource on considering the effect of MUD, leading to low outage probability.
