In this paper, we investigate the transmission schemes of space data systems for optimized
network capacity in an integrated terrestrial-satellite network (ITSN) with a two-layered …

Earth observation systems play important roles in many critical applications. The rapid
increase of the number of satellites and their sensing capability, however, makes it …

In this letter, we propose an analytical framework for resource-limited small satellite
networks. To handle the challenges raised by the intertwined impacts of energy budgets …

Non-Geostationary satellite networks have many advantages to enable ubiquitous wireless
environments such as, extensive coverage, disaster-resistance, and efficient power …

Dual Connectivity is a key approach to achieving optimization of throughput and latency in
heterogeneous networks. Originally a technique introduced by the 3rd Generation …

There is a growing number of resource-constrained small satellites that are currently
performing and are proposed to accomplish novel science and technology missions. These …

As the spaceborne resources are heterogeneous and the satellite network topology
changes constantly, various time-varying derivative graphs are designed to represent the …
