Outage and Intercept Performance in THz LEO-Ground Communication With Satellite Selection

Abstract

Satellite communication and THz communication systems are some of the methods that aim to meet the demand of increasing data rates. With an importance growing alongside increasing data amounts, data security is on its way to a position that cannot be neglected when building systems. In this study, it has been shown that secure data transmission can be made possible through the use of THz frequencies in a link between LEO satellites and a ground station. Proposed scenarios data transmission performance have been analyzed. It has been shown that selection transmission have improved both data transmission and security performances.
