Exploiting Hybrid Terrestrial/LEO Satellite Systems for Rural Connectivity
Satellite networks are playing an important role in realizing global seamless connectivity in beyond 5G and 6G wireless networks. In this paper, we develop a comprehensive analytical framework to assess the performance of hybrid terrestrial/satellite networks in providing rural connectivity. We assume that the terrestrial base stations are equipped with multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technologies and that the user has the option to associate with a base station or a satellite to be served. Using tools from stochastic geometry, we derive tractable expressions for the coverage probability and average data rate and prove the accuracy of the derived expressions through Monte Carlo simulations. The obtained results capture the impact of the satellite constellation size, the terrestrial base station density, and the MIMO configuration parameters.
