Global connectivity cannot be guaranteed by terrestrial networks due to the lack of infrastructure in rural areas. Neither can satellite networks assure this due to lack of signal penetration and capacity coverage issues in densely populated areas. To bridge this gap, we propose an orthogonal frequency domain (OFDM) based hybrid architecture where users are provided service by existing mobile networks in urban areas and are served by satellite in the rural areas. In such a system terrestrial and satellite networks can reuse the portion of spectrum dedicated to each of these systems resulting in significant increase in overall capacity, wider coverage and reduced cost. This frequency reuse induces severe cochannel interference (CCI) at the satellite end and our work focuses on its mitigation using OFDM based adaptive beamformin
