Very High Throughput Satellite (VHTS) systems are characterized by a multi-beam footprint covering wide areas and providing service to large numbers of users. Multicasting comes naturally to exploit the multiuser diversity in VHTS systems, where the data of different users are multiplexed in a single PHY frame. Following the DVB-S2(X) standard, the resulting PHY frame is encoded using a single codeword. The latter brings some practical implementation challenges when precoding is considered, as the precoder can no longer be designed on a user-by-user basis. Avoiding overambitious and impractical precoding designs, our work focuses on the low-complexity MMSE-based precoding, which has been considered as the baseline for early satellite over-the-air precoding tests. While the multicast scheduling has been widely investigated in the literature, we will show in this work that its performance is significantly impacted by the equivalent multicast channel calculation. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze and report the impact of the user scheduling (i.e., selection of users to be multiplexed together in a single PHY frame) as well as the methodology employed for the equivalent multicast channel considered for the precoding computation.
