Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Satellite communication networks have attracted considerable attention in the public and civil domains. However, current advancements face several technical challenges in hybrid network topology, dynamic routing protocols, intermittent links and energy conservation. Accordingly, this Special Issue aims to publish the latest contributions in the development of mechanisms, methods and applications for satellite communication networks. Researchers, developers and industry practitioners working in this area are invited to present their latest views on the new systems, trials and state-of-the-art solutions. Topics covered include the following:
- Satellite systems
- Satellite communication
- Satellite networks and interoperability
- Artificial intelligence for satellite networks
- Routing protocols
- Energy conservation
- Broadcast/communication/navigation services
- Description of new systems, operations and trials
- Performance analysis
