The aim of the present document is to compare the link level performances of several radio interfaces (HSPA@ LTE and mobile WiMAX) in geostationary based mobile satellite systems operating in S band or L band. The document provides a high level description of the radio interfaces to be compared. It then identifies their key characteristics and defines the propagation channel used for the comparison. Link level performances are compared in terms of required signal to noise ratio ( Eb/N0 ) for a given block error rate (BLER) and data rate. The document concludes on the respective qualitative benefits and drawbacks of the considered radio interfaces.
