Abstract

Abstract—The integration of cooperative transmission into satellite networks is regarded as an effective strategy to increase the energy efficiency as well as the coverage of satellite communications. This paper investigates the performance of an amplifyand-forward (AF) hybrid satellite-terrestrial relay network (HSTRN), where the links of the two hops undergo Shadowed- Rician andRayleigh fadingdistributions, respectively.By assuming that a single antenna relay is used to assist the signal transmission between the multi-antenna satellite and multi-antenna mobile terminal, and multiple interferers corrupt both the relay and destination, we first obtain the equivalent end-to-end signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the system. Then, an approximate yet very accurate closed-form expression for the ergodic capacity of the HSTRN is derived. The analytical lower bound expressions are also obtained to efficiently evaluate the outage probability (OP) and average symbol error rate (ASER) of the system. Furthermore, the asymptotic OP and ASER expressions are developed at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to reveal the achievable diversity order and array gain of the considered HSTRN. Finally, simulation results are provided to validate of the analytical results, and show the impact of various parameters on the system performance.
