The terrestrial wireless backbone network and satellite communications system have been independently developed depending on their own purposes and operational concepts, which results in different characteristics in terms of network architecture and routing protocol operation. In this paper, we propose a method for structurally integrating them in consideration of routing mechanism in an autonomous system. Our approach is that the routers of satellite network operate the OSPF in PTP mode on their interfaces connected to the routers of terrestrial wireless backbone network with grid connectivity, whereas the OSPF in satellite network whose topology is of hub-spoke type runs in NBMA mode. We perform some simulations to verify that the satellite communications system can be integrated and interwork with the terrestrial wireless backbone network by our proposed approach. From simulation results, it is also found that the increases of network convergence time and routing overhead are acceptable.

A priority-based data communication approach, developed by employing cognitive radio capacity for sensor nodes in a wireless terrestrial sensor network (TSN), has been proposed. Data sensed by a sensor node-an unlicensed user-were prioritized, taking sensed data importance into account. For data of equal priority, a first come first serve algorithm was used. Non-preemptive priority scheduling was adopted, in order not to interrupt any ongoing transmissions. Licensed users used a nonpersistent, slotted, carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) technique, while unlicensed sensor nodes used a nonpersistent CSMA technique for lossless data transmission, in an energy-restricted, TSN environment. Depending on the analytical model, the proposed wireless TSN environment was simulated using Riverbed software, and to analyze sensor network performance, delay, energy, and throughput parameters were examined. Evaluating the proposed approach showed that the average delay for sensed, high priority data was significantly reduced, indicating that maximum throughput had been achieved using wireless sensor nodes with cognitive radio capacity.

In this paper, we use a quadrotor-based mobile sink to gather sensor data from the terrestrial deployed wireless sensor network. By analyzing the flight features of the mobile sink node, we theoretically study the flight constraints of height, velocity, and trajectory of the mobile sink node so as to communicate with the terrestrial wireless sensor network. Moreover, we analyze the data amount which the mobile sink can send when it satisfies these flight constraints. Based on these analysis results, we propose a data acquisition approach for the mobile sink node, which is discussed detailed in terms of network performance such as the transmission delay, packet loss rate, sojourning time and mobile trajectory when given the flying speed and height of the mobile sink node. Extensive simulation results validate the efficiency of the proposed scheme.

Currently several kinds of sensor localization methods have been developed for terrestrial wireless sensor networks. This study, in order to extend the field to underwater environments, a localization technique is studied for UWSNs (Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks). In underwater environments, RF (Radio Frequency) signal is not suitable for underwater usage because of extremely limited propagation. Because of that reason UWSNs should be constituted with acoustic modems. But, to realize underwater application, we can borrow many design principles from ongoing research for terrestrial environments. So, in this paper we introduce the modified localization algorithm using ToA method which is based on the terrestrial research. First of all, we study the localization techniques for terrestrial environments where we investigate possible methods to underwater environment. And then the appropriate algorithm is presented in the underwater usage. Finally the proposed underwater based localization algorithm is evaluated by using computer.

미래의 통신망은 지상 네트워크과 위성 네트워크가 결합하거나 협동 통신 하는 방향으로 진화할 것으로 예상된다. 위성/지상 통합 시스템에서 위성과 지상 무선 인터페이스 간 공통성은 단말의 비용을 고려했을 때 매우 중요하게 고려되어야 한다. 특히, 차세대 IMT-Advanced 시스템으로 LTE기반의 지상 시스템이 고려되고 있는 점을 감안했을 때, LTE 기반의 위성 시스템에 대한 연구가 절실히 요구된다. 현존하는 LTE기반의 지상 무선 통신 시스템의 프레임은 최대 100 km 크기의 셀에서 임의 접속이 가능하도록 설계되어 있다. 그러나 위성 시스템의 경우 수 천 km에 이르는 빔 커버리지를 갖기 때문에 최대 100 km의 셀 크기를 고려하여 설계된 LTE프레임 구조 내에서 지상 시스템을 위한 임의 접속 방법을 그대로 적용할 수 없다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 LTE기반 지상 시스템에서 지원하는 프레임 구조에서 시스템 latency를 줄이고 낮은 복잡도를 가지는 위성 시스템 환경에 적절한 임의 접속 절차를 제안하고자 한다.

오늘날의 다양한 무선 시스템을 통한 서비스의 공존은 간섭 문제를 야기시킬 수 있으며, 제한된 주파수 대역을 효율적으로 활용하기 위해서는 보다 정확하고 효과적인 주파수 공유 기술에 대한 연구가 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 특히 위성시스템이 가지는 광역성으로 인하여 지상시스템과의 주파수 공유는 필수적이다. Ka 대역 주파수를 사용하는 위성 시스템은 지향성 안테나를 사용하게 되므로 위성의 방위각을 고려한 주파수 공유 결과에 대한 분석은 주파수 효율성을 높이는데 매우 큰 역할을 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 위성망과 지상망과의 간섭을 안테나의 방위각을 고려하여 분석한 결과를 제시하고, 주파수 공유 시 요구되는 망간 최소 이격 거리를 분석한 결과를 제시함으로써 분석 결과가 실제 시스템 설계 및 구현에 활용될 수 있도록 하고 있다.

Sixth generation will exploit satellite, aerial, and terrestrial platforms jointly to improve radio access capability and unlock the support of on-demand edge cloud services in three-dimensional (3D) space, by incorporating mobile edge computing (MEC) functionalities on aerial platforms and low-orbit satellites. This will extend the MEC support to devices and network elements in the sky and forge a space-borne MEC, enabling intelligent, personalized, and distributed on-demand services. End users will experience the impression of being surrounded by a distributed computer, fulfilling their requests with apparently zero latency. In this paper, we consider an architecture that provides communication, computation, and caching (C3) services on demand, anytime, and everywhere in 3D space, integrating conventional ground (terrestrial) base stations and flying (non-terrestrial) nodes. Given the complexity of the overall network, the C3 resources and management of aerial devices need to be jointly orchestrated via artificial intelligence-based algorithms, exploiting virtualized network functions dynamically deployed in a distributed manner across terrestrial and non-terrestrial nodes.

As demands for the maritime communications increase, a variety of functions and information are required to exchange via elements of maritime systems, which leads communication traffic increases in maritime frequency bands, especially in VHF (Very High Frequency) band. Thus, effective resource management is crucial to the future maritime communication systems not only to the typical terrestrial communication systems. VHF data exchange system (VDES) enables to utilize more flexible configuration according to the communication condition. This paper focuses on the VDES communication system among VDES terminals such as shore stations, ship stations and aids to navigation (AtoN) to address efficient resource allocation. We propose a resource management method considering a MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technique in VDES, which has been widely used for modern terrestrial wireless networks but not for marine environments by scheduling the essential communication resources. We introduce the general channel model in marine environment and give two metrics, spectral and the energy efficiencies to examine our resource scheduling algorithm. Based on the simulation results and analysis, the proposed method provides a possibility to enhance spectral and energy efficiencies. Additionally, we present a trade-off relationship between spectral and energy efficiencies. Furthermore, we examine the resource efficiencies related to the imperfect channel estimation.
