Scope
Technological advances in wireless and satellite communications have made it possible to bring value added services directly to the user by reducing the overall cost as well as addressing many technological challenges such as achieving seamless mobility, security, having miniaturized antennas and terminal sizes, and providing high data rate links. The synergy between satellite and terrestrial wireless networks provides immense opportunities for disseminating wideband multimedia services to a wide range of audiences over large numbers of geographically dispersed people. The services enabled by wireless and satellite systems not only cover the requirements of an ordinary citizen but also has applications in various areas like defence, vehicular, health, etc. The conference will explore such techniques, and aims to serve as a premier international forum for discussions, bringing together academic and industrial researchers, practitioners, and students interested in future techniques relating to the wireless and satellite communications, networking, technology, systems, and applications. Topics: The conference will consist of various topics: Primary Topics Antenna designs, modulation and coding Synchronization, equalization and channel estimation Channel modelling for wireless or satellite communications Advances in Signal processing for wireless or satellite communications Beamforming and MIMO communications for wireless or satellites Interference detection and mitigation techniques DVB and broadband access technologies QoS provisioning and MAC protocols Self-organizing mesh networks and autonomic communications IP over satellite and QoS support Onboard switching and processing Power control, hand-over issues and call admission control Radio resource management and dynamic spectrum sharing Platforms/architectures for cognitive radio Intersatellite linksNanosatellites Propagation and mitigation techniques at Ku, Ka and V-bands Cross-layer air interface design Satellite architecture, subsystems and components Transport protocol performance over wireless or satellite IP over satellite Routing protocols Onboard switching and processing technologies Fade mitigation techniques Security, privacy, and trust Standardisation activities Secondary topics Value added services and future systems IP over satellite and heterogeneous networks Ka-band and emerging frequency bands Wireless or Satellite-based Emergency service assistance and disaster recovery Wireless or Satellite-based large-scale sensor-networks and Multisensor data fusion Wireless or Satellite-based smart power grids Wireless or Satellite-based remote e-Health Wireless or Satellite-based sensing and data mining Wireless or Satellite-based weather forecast Wireless or Satellite-based earthquake surveillance Wireless or Satellite-based environmental surveillance Wireless or Satellite-based Multimodal surveillance IT application in Space Communications Inter-planetary exploration Geographic Information and applications Geographic information systems Earth observation Global positioning systems Digital terrain modelling Principles of GNSS, inertial and multi-sensor integrated navigation systems GNSS applications Spectrum systems for GNSS GNSS devices for weak signals Wireless positioning technologies and applications Modern tracking systems Satellite navigation (GPS, Galileo, augmentation systems) Visibility analysis of a satellite, or satellite constellation Convergence of Satellite System and Emerging Technologies Convergence with Terrestrial, Wireless Access, and Sensor Networks Cooperative/distributed network architectures Quantum satellite communications Convergence with optical networks Terrestrial-airborne-space integration Unmanned aerial vehicles, navigation and satellite communications Publications Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNICST series and will appear in the SpringerLink, one of the largest digital libraries online that covers a variety of scientific disciplines, as well as in the ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL).
