A study on the coexistence of fixed satellite service and cellular networks in a mmWave scenario

The use of a larger bandwith in the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum is one of the key components of next generation cellular networks. Currently, part of this band is allocated on a co-primary basis to a number of other applications, such as the fixed satellite services (FSSs). In this paper, we i...

Description
Summary:The use of a larger bandwith in the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum is one of the key components of next generation cellular networks. Currently, part of this band is allocated on a co-primary basis to a number of other applications, such as the fixed satellite services (FSSs). In this paper, we investigate the coexistence between a cellular network and FSSs in a mmWave scenario. In light of the parameters recommended by the standard and the recent results presented in the literature on the mmWave channel model, we analyze different BSs deployments and different antenna configurations at the transmitters. Finally, we show how, exploiting the features of a mmWave scenario, the coexistence between cellular and satellite services is feasible and the interference at the FSS antenna can be kept below recommended levels.
