In this paper, the detection of LoRa signals from a low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite is considered. The use of a LEO satellite to collect messages from the terminals, as an alternative to terrestrial base stations in rural areas, represents a major challenge due to the specific impairments of this scenario, e.g., Doppler effects and interfering sign...

We study the benefits arising from the exploitation of interference in two satellite communications scenarios. We show that promising gains, with respect to the classical interference avoidance approach, can be achieved by applying non-orthogonal transmission schemes together with advanced transceiver architectures. We demonstrate that the non-orth...

We investigate the problem of increasing the spectral efficiency of current high rate telemetry systems in two different scenarios, which exploit one and two channels, respectively. We will analyze several techniques aimed at improving different stages of the transceiver scheme. We will optimize the transmission parameters and apply advanced receiv...

The second-generation specification of the digital video broadcasting for satellite (DVB-S2) was developed in 2003 with the aim of improving the existent broadcasting standard DVB-S. The main new features introduced by DVB-S2 included increased baud rates, higher cardinality constellations (up to 32 points), and more efficient binary codes. The ext...
