Gateway, user terminal, methods for operating the same and wireless communication network

A gateway is configured to communicate with a satellite so as to control the precoding/ pre-equalization of a communication between the satellite and at least one terminal based on a channel state of a channel between the terminal and the satellite. The gateway is configured for receiving a location-related information indicating a location of the terminal and for determining a predicted channel state information related to the channel state between the terminal and the satellite using the location-related information. The gateway is configured for controlling the signal processing so as to precode the communication according to the predicted channel state information.
