This paper surveys the literature on point-to-point (P2P) links for integrated satellite-aerial
networks, which are envisioned to be among the key enablers of the sixth-generation (6G) of …

Non terrestrial networks (NTN) involving 'in the sky'objects such as low-earth orbit satellites,
high altitude platform systems (HAPs) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are expected …

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the research and development of
high-altitude airships. These systems provide a suspended platform using buoyancy at 17 …

Complex and dynamic control of radiated fields are advantageous for flexible radio systems,
which naturally move, roll, bend, twist, deform, and vibrate. Practical challenges hinder the …

The recently accentuated features of augmenting conventional wireless networks with high
altitude platform systems (HAPS) have fueled a plethora of applications, which promise to …

In this article, the physical-layer security of a dual-hop unmanned aerial vehicle-based
wireless network, subject to imperfect channel state information (CSI) and mobility effects, is …

The concept of the smart city relies on connectivity and is expected to revolutionize urban
living and create sustainable cities. However, while smart cities continue to evolve, small …

Terrestrial data centers suffer from a growing carbon footprint that could contribute with 14
percent to global CO2 emissions by 2040. High Altitude Platform (HAP) is a promising …

6G networks are envisioned to deliver a large diversity of applications and meet stringent
Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Hence, integrated Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial …

Information technology organizations and companies are seeking greener alternatives to
traditional terrestrial data centers to mitigate global warming and reduce carbon emissions …
