Exact and asymptotic ergodic capacity analysis of the hybrid satellite–terrestrial cooperative system over generalised fading channels

Physical layer security of hybrid satellite‐terrestrial relay networks with multiple colluding eavesdroppers over non‐identically distributed Nakagami‐ m fading channels

“…Such networks have become popular and essential in the full realisation and development of 5G networks owing to their compatibility in different areas such as military, disaster relief, and defence services [4]. In the recent years, researchers have made appreciable efforts towards the performance analysis of HSTRN and admired the importance of the integration of satellite system with terrestrial networks [5–11].…”

Hybrid Satellite–Terrestrial Networks toward 6G: Key Technologies and Open Issues

“…By considering a more-generalized HSTN with multiple relays and an available direct satellite–destination link, the authors of [ 80 ] addressed asymptotic analysis of the ergodic capacity for both AF and DF protocols based on MGF and proposed a simple relay-selection strategy requiring only statistical CSI with low system overhead.…”

“…For the DF mode, An et al investigated the capacity and OP of HSTNs in [151] and [152], respectively. Zhao et al analyzed the EC with AF and DF protocols and proposed a relay selection strategy to lower the overhead [153]. By taking the hardware impairment into account, the OP performance was analyzed in [154], [155].…”
