We propose a new shadowed Rice (1948) model for land mobile satellite channels. In this
model, the amplitude of the line-of-sight is characterized by the Nakagami distribution. The …

As demands on the network continue to grow, it is increasingly important to upgrade the
existing infrastructure in order to offer higher bandwidth and service level guarantees to …

In this paper, a statistical model for the land mobile satellite (LMS) channel is presented. The
model is capable of describing both narrow-and wide-band conditions. The other relevant …

Central features of future 4G mobile communication systems are high-speed data
transmission (up to 1 Gb/s) and interactive multimedia services. For effective delivery of …

The work presented here describes the key design drivers and performance of a high
efficiency satellite mobile messaging system well adapted to the machine-to-machine …

Abstract Standardization activities on Digital Video Broadcasting–Satellite services to
Handheld Devices (DVB‐SH) have driven the need for a consolidated Land Mobile Satellite …

In this article, we investigate the impact of hardware impairments (HIs) on the performance of
non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based integrated satellite-terrestrial relay networks …

In this paper, we study the Symbol Error Probability (SEP) performance of a
hybrid/integrated satellite-terrestrial cooperative network. In particular, we focus on the case …

This paper reviews the state of the art and current trends towards 3G and 3G+ mobile
satellite systems that are being planned in parallel or within the International Mobile …

The present paper focuses on an IoT setting in which a large number of devices generate
time-stamped updates addressed to a common gateway. Medium access is regulated …
