New Trends in Networking for Satellite Communications

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, we have seen a growing interest in the fundamental theory, key technology, and applications of satellite communication and networks, which are regarded as fundamental for 6G to provide global coverage to a wide range of technological applications requiring high availability and high resilience. In particular, the integration of satellites with future aerial or terrestrial networks has motivated the study of new communication, networking, and computation paradigms and attracted significant interest from both academic and industrial communities. This Special Issue therefore aims to bring together original research and review articles on new trends in the field of satellite communications and networking.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• AI-driven design in networking for satellite communications;
• Integrated sensing and communications in satellite communication networks;
• Next-generation multiple access for satellite communication networks;
• Delay-tolerant networking for satellite networks;
• Advanced coding, modulation, and synchronization schemes for satellite communications;
• Satellite edge computing;
• Antennas for satellite communications;
• Satellite and space communications and networking;
• Advanced MIMO designs for satellite communications;
• The standardization of 6G for satellite communication and networking.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
