[en] Deploying high throughput satellite systems in Ka band to accommodate the ever increasing demand for high data rates hits a spectrum barrier. Cognitive spectrum utilization of the allocated frequency bands to other services is a potential solution. Designing a cognitive zone around incumbent broadcasting satellite service (BSS) feeder links beyond which the cognitive fixed satellite service (FSS) terminals can freely utilize the same frequency band is considered in this paper. In addition, we show that there is a rain rate called rain wall, above which cognitive downlink communications becomes infeasible.
