Fifth-generation (5G) telecommunication systems are expected to meet the world market
demands of accessing and delivering services anywhere and anytime. The Non-Terrestrial …

This paper investigates the physical layer security of a satellite network, whose downlink
spectral resource is shared with a terrestrial cellular network. We propose to employ a multi …

The integration of cooperative transmission into satellite networks is regarded as an effective
strategy to increase the energy efficiency as well as the coverage of satellite …

This paper investigates the performance of a cognitive hybrid satellite-terrestrial network,
where the primary satellite communication network and the secondary terrestrial mobile …

In this letter, we investigate the performance of a multiuser amplify-and-forward (AF) hybrid
satellite-terrestrial relay network (HSTRN) with opportunistic scheduling. Specifically, we …

Virtually all aspects of modern life depend on space technology. Thanks to the great
advancement of computer vision in general and deep learning-based techniques in …

This article investigates the security and reliability analysis for a novel satellite-terrestrial
network. Specifically, a satellite attempts to transmit confidential information to a ground user …

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy performance against eavesdropping of a land
mobile satellite (LMS) system, where the satellite employs the spot beam technique, and …

The hardware impairments of transceiver nodes that generate signal distortions degrade the
reliability performance of communication systems. This paper investigates the impact of …
