The hybrid architecture of Terrestrial and Satellite networks discussed in this paper utilizes frequency reuse. However, at the same time the frequency reuse results in Co-Channel Interference (CCI). The CCI is caused by the mobile users to the satellite end because of the strong receiver on the satellite end. Mainly, this paper will focus on to tone down the CCI and would also show that how the OFDM based adaptive beamforming can be employed to mitigate this interference. The technique which is being used to mitigate this interference is Pre-FFT adaptive beamforming also called as time domain beamforming. In this paper, main task is to mitigate the CCI which is induced by the mobile users to the satellite end and will be considered that there are J users. Out of these J users there is one desired user and rest are interferers. When the interfered data is received at the satellite end, the Pre-FFT adaptive beamforming extracts the desired user data from the interferers by applying the complex weights to the received symbol. The weight for the next symbol is then updated by Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm and then is applied to it. This process is carried out till all the desired user data is extracted from the interference signal.
