Whenever multibeam satellite systems target very aggressive frequency reuse in their coverage area, inter-beam interference becomes the major obstacle for increasing overall system throughput. As a matter of fact, users located at beam edges suffer from large even moderately planning reuse-2. Although solutions management have been investigated terminal, it turns out that performance improvement does not justify increased terminal complexity and cost. In this article, we pay attention to...

Under these conditions channel frequency response cannot be modeled flat at a subcarrier level. implies that techniques originally devised OFDM do not restore orthogonality between subcarriers when they are directly applied FBMC. Aiming circumventing this problem we propose design of two FBMC schemes, which on new subband processing. The figures merit govern...
