The utilization of extremely high-frequency (EHF) bands can achieve very high throughput in satellite networks (SatNets). Nevertheless, the severe rain attenuation at EHF bands imposes strict limitations on the system availability. Smart gateway diversity (SGD) is considered indispensable in order to guarantee the required availability with reasonable cost. In this context, we examine a load-sharing SGD (LS-SGD) architecture, which has been recently proposed in the literature. For this diversity scheme, we define the system outage probability (SOP) using a rigorous probabilistic analysis based on the Poisson binomial distribution, and taking into consideration the traffic demand as well as the gateway (GW) capacity. Furthermore, we provide several methods for the exact and approximate calculation of SOP. As concerns the exact computation of SOP, a closed-form expression and an efficient algorithm based on a recursive formula are given, both with quadratic worst-case complexity in the number of GWs. Finally, the proposed approximation methods include well-known probability distributions (binomial, Poisson, normal) and a Chernoff bound. According to the numerical results, binomial and Poisson distributions are by far the most accurate approximation methods.
