Satellite Infrastructure Sharing: Orbit-Structured Stochastic Geometry Modeling and Connectivity Analysis in Heterogeneous Satellite Networks

Abstract

This paper develops an analytical framework to evaluate the feasibility and performance of satellite infrastructure sharing among multiple low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite operators. Motivated by the growing demand for universal connectivity under limited satellite resources, the proposed model captures uncoordinated deployments where independently operated constellations coexist without predefined orbital agreements. To describe such heterogeneous configurations, the spherical Cox point process is employed to jointly generate orbital structures and satellites. Then, each satellite is further assigned a random communication range, reflecting variations in coverage capability across operators. The overall coverage region is modeled through a spherical Cox-Boolean model that captures the spatial overlap of individual satellite spherical footprints on Earth. Using the proposed framework, the feasibility and benefits of satellite infrastructure sharing are mathematically analyzed, and closed-form expressions are derived for key performance metrics such as the connection probability, connection number, and downlink signal characteristics including the nearest serving distance, total received signal power, and the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) distribution in the interference-limited regime. The analytical results, validated through system-level simulations, provide a tractable characterization of how orbital geometry governs coverage, connectivity, and interference, and reveal the inherent trade-offs induced by coverage overlap in heterogeneous satellite constellations.

Fundamental Scaling Laws of Covert Communication in the Presence of Block Fading

Covert communication is the undetected transmission of sensitive information over a communication channel. In wireless communication systems, channel impairments such as signal fading present challenges in the effective implementation and analysis of covert communication systems. This paper generalizes early work in the covert communication field by considering asymptotic results for the number of bits that can be covertly transmitted in $n$ channel uses on a block fading channel. Critical to the investigation is characterizing the performance of optimal detectors at the adversary. Matching achievable and converse results are presented.

Sequence Reconstruction over the Deletion Channel

In this paper, we consider the Levenshtein's sequence reconstruction problem in the case where the transmitted codeword is chosen from $\{0,1\}^n$ and the channel can delete up to $t$ symbols from the transmitted codeword. We determine the minimum number of channel outputs (assuming that they are distinct) required to reconstruct a list of size $\ell-1$ of candidate sequences, one of which corresponds to the original transmitted sequence. More specifically, we determine the maximum possible size of the intersection of $\ell \geq 3$ deletion balls of radius $t$ centered at $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_{\ell}$, where $x_i \in \{0,1\}^n$ for all $i \in \{1,2,\dots,\ell\}$ and $x_i \neq x_j$ for $i \neq j$, with $ n \geq t+\ell-1$ and $t \geq 1$.

A generalization of the map $χ$

The mapping $ χ_n:\mathbb{F}_2^n \to \mathbb{F}_2^n$ defined by $y=χ_n(x)$ with $y_i = x_i + x_{i+1}x_{i+2} + x_{i+2}$, where the indices are computed modulo $n$, has been widely studied for its application in lightweight cryptography. In this paper, we generalize this mapping and completely characterize all these shift-invariant permutations of the form $y_i=x_{i+u}+x_{i+v}(x_{i+w}+a_i)$, where $0\le u, v, w<n$ and $a_i\in \mathbb{F}_2$, $1\le i\le n$.
