Satellite communication systems play a pivotal role in enabling global connectivity, but their
energy consumption presents significant challenges in terms of sustainability and …

Integrated satellite, aerial, and terrestrial networks (ISATNs) represent a sophisticated
convergence of diverse communication technologies to ensure seamless connectivity …

This paper investigates the secure communication of a cognitive satellite terrestrial network
with software-defined architecture, where a gateway is acting as a control center to offer the …

Traditional satellite networks depend on the closed and planned architecture. Thus, there
are many challenges such as configuration update, new communication and networking …

In this paper, we propose a generalized code index modulation (CIM) technique for direct-
sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) communication. In particular, at the transmitter, the bit …

Satellite networks are drawing more and more attention, since they can provide various
services to everywhere on the earth. Communication devices in satellites are typically …

With the ever increasing spectrum demand of broadband multimedia services, cognitive
satellite terrestrial networks have emerged as a promising paradigm for future space …

Small satellite networks (SSNs) are playing an increasing role in nowadays earth
observation due to their less development cost and energy consumption. In SSNs, it is …

Allowing frequency reuse between satellite and terrestrial networks, the integrated satellite-
terrestrial network can spatially optimize the usage of scarce spectrum resource and is thus …

Although the Internet of Things (IoT) will play a key role in the development of next
generation information, network, and communication technologies, many are still unclear …
