Direct reception of DVB-S (2) satellite signals from mobile terminals equipped with non directive antennas is becoming of great interest among manufacturers and operators. Low orbit constellations are technically preferred for mobile terminal reception due to the reduced path loss. Economical issues however, have recently redirected the interest to medium and geostationary constellations, eventually assisted by high altitude platforms. The satellite power is limited by technology and the maximum allowable mass of satellites. This work explores the opportunity of application of link cooperation techniques for downlink reception of DVB-S (2) bitstreams.
