In this paper, we investigate the uplink transmission in a satellite-aerial-terrestrial network
(SATN), where an aerial platform acts as an amplify-and-forward relay assisting the …

This paper analyzes the outage performance of a satellite-aerial-terrestrial network (SATN),
where the satellite-aerial and aerial-terrestrial links utilize free space optical (FSO) with …

To the best of our knowledge, this article represents the first attempt toward robust
beamforming design for multiuser downlink communications in intelligent reflecting surface …

Satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) integrated networks (SUINs) are considered as
a promising method to offer various Internet of Remote Things (IoRT) applications. In this …

Free space optical (FSO) inter‐satellite links could often be non‐reliable due to the imperfect
line of sight (LOS) links. To achieve more reliable communication, the authors propose …

This paper addresses the design of hybrid free-space optical/radio frequency (FSO/RF)
systems for a high-altitude platform (HAP)-aided relaying satellite communication for mobile …

Mixed usage of radio frequency (RF) and free-space optical (FSO) transmissions can
improve the reliability and throughput of future satellite communication (Satcom) systems. To …

This letter investigates the multiuser downlink transmission performance of an asymmetric
free space optical (FSO)/radio frequency (RF) link. Here, the satellite delivers signal to the …

Nonterrestrial networks have been attracting much interest from the industry and academia.
Satellites and high-altitude platform station (HAPS) systems are expected to be the key …

This paper investigates the massive access for a satellite-aerial-terrestrial network (SATN),
where a high-altitude platform (HAP) is deployed as a relay to assist the uplink transmission …
