An abstract of the presentation follows.

ABSTRACT:

Satellite communications will play a central role towards ful_lling next generation 5G communication requirements. As a matter of fact, anytime-anywhere connectivity cannot be conceived without the presence of the satellite segment. Indeed, the satellite industry is not only targeting areas without backbone connectivity (maritime, aeronautic, rural,) but also high dense populated scenarios with an existing communication infrastructure where the satellite will become an essential element to decongest the terrestrial wireless network.

This study deals with the problem of precoding and linear filtering receiving methods for multibeam satellite systems when full frequency reuse is considered (i.e. all beams share the available spectrum). Concretely, we consider the particular restrictions of satellite communications which, in contrast to terrestrial communication systems, suffer from additional drawbacks.

SPEAKER:

Vahid Joroughi (Iran) received his Bachelor and Master degrees in Electrical Engineering in Iran during 2003-2009. At the same time, he also worked for Iran Telecommunication Company as a switching manager. Since January 2012 he has been pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Telecommunication Engineering at CTTC (Centre Tecnòlogic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya) and at Signal Theory and Communications Department of UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya), Barcelona, Spain.
