| contents | Direct satellite uplink is severely constrained by limited link budgets, which hinder the exploitation of wideband resources, and ultimately limit the throughout. This paper presents a pilot-less coded modulation scheme based on sparse superposition coding (SSC) to enable efficient wideband usage in coverage-limited scenarios. This scheme leverages the structured Zadoff-Chu quasi-orthogonal (ZC-QO) dictionary to support scalable transmission. To address decoding complexity, the SSC transmitted signal embeds root index information via indicator sequences, allowing the receiver to restrict the decoding search space. In addition, a multi-codeword transmission framework with repetition and stop-feedback is developed, enabling reliable communication and better resource utilization. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves throughput gains compared to a more conventional narrow-band multi-dimensional constellation-based approach. |
