Robust Beamforming and Outage Performance of Uplink Multiuser Satellite-Aerial-Terrestrial Networks With Mixed RF-FSO Channels

In this paper, we investigate the uplink transmission in a satellite-aerial-terrestrial network (SATN), where an aerial platform acts as an amplify-and-forward relay assisting the communication between multiple users and satellite. The users send messages to the aerial relay via radio frequency (RF)...
