CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
The next generation satellite services will cater the demands of
personal services by bringing the satellite terminals directly to the
hands of the user hence providing satellite personal services directly
to the user. Technological advances in satellite communications have
made it possible to bring such value added satellite services directly
to the user by reducing the overall cost as well as addressing many
technological challenges such as achieving mobility, having miniaturized
antennas and terminal sizes, and providing high data rate links. With
the unique broadcast nature and ubiquitous coverage of satellite
networks, the synergy between satellite and terrestrial networks
provides immense opportunities for disseminating wideband multimedia
services to a wide range of audiences over large numbers of
geographically dispersed people. It is evident that the satellite will
play a complementary, but essential, role in delivering multimedia and
telecommunication services to infrastructure-less region where the
terrestrial high-bandwidth communication infrastructures are practically
unreachable. In such a context we introduce a new category claimed to
be defined as Personal Satellite Services (PSATS) by means of extending
the satellite services directly to the user for personal services such
as communications, multimedia and location identification. Such
opportunities are also currently fueling accelerated research in PSATS
enabled systems which we cover in this conference. The services enabled
by PSATS not only cover the requirements of an ordinary citizen but also
provide defense personal services such as tracking, visualization and
virtualization in a highly secure communication environment.
The conference will explore such techniques, and aims to serve as a
premier international forum for discussions, bringing together academic
and industrial researchers, practitioners, and students interested in
future techniques relating to the satellite communications, networking,
technology, systems, and applications.
The conference will consist of diverse technical tracks:
General Track:
--------------
- Satellite antenna designs, modulation and coding
- Synchronization, equalization and channel estimation
- Channel modeling for satellite communications
- MIMO communications for satellites
