Various arrangements for cross-polarization interference mitigation are detailed herein. A baseline cross-polarization interference density limits of a user terminal (UT) and a baseline
throughput of the UT can be determined. An adjustment value can then be determined for an intended polarization (co-pol) isotropic radiated power (EIRP) density, such that the cross-polarization (x-pol) interference density limits are not exceeded. After determining the baseline
throughput, an effective co-pol EIRP density of the UT can be set based on the adjustment value. After adjusting the effective co-pol EIRP density of the UT, an adjusted
spectral efficiency of the UT can be determined resulting from the adjusting the EIRP density. Finally, an allocated bandwidth to the UT can be adjusted such that a resulting adjusted
throughput of the UT at the adjusted
spectral efficiency matches the baseline throughput.
