The explosive growth of various services boosts the innovation and development in
terrestrial communication systems for the implementation of the next generation mobile …

Terrestrial communication networks mainly focus on users in urban areas but have poor
coverage performance in harsh environments, such as mountains, deserts, and oceans …

In this paper, we investigate the downlink transmission of a non-orthogonal multiple access
(NOMA)-based integrated terrestrial-satellite network, in which the NOMA-based terrestrial …

Future communication networksrequire higher bandwidth, greater coverage, and better
throughput. The Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network (SAGIN) has the advantage of wide …

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been extensively studied to improve the
performance of space-terrestrial satellite networks on account of the shortage of frequency …

In this paper, we investigate the downlink cooperative multigroup multicast transmission in
the integrated terrestrial-satellite network, in which base stations (BSs) and the satellite …

Satellite communication networks can provide the most comprehensive wireless coverage,
especially for low-density population areas, which can act as a complement of terrestrial …

In this article, we investigate the performance of a multiuser integrated satellite-terrestrial
relay network (ISTRN) with the threshold-based decode-and-forward protocol, where the …

Thanks to their inherent advantages including large radio coverage and less dependence
on terrestrial infrastructures, space and aerial networks can play an important role in 5G for …

A cloud-based terrestrial-satellite network (CTSN) is conceived for supporting ubiquitous
high-speed multimedia services. In the CTSN, the satellite and terrestrial base stations are …
