Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) are expected to be a critical component of 6th Generation
(6G) networks, providing ubiquitous, continuous, and scalable services. Satellites emerge as …

High-throughput satellite (HTS), with its digital payload technology, is expected to play a key
role as an enabler of the upcoming sixth-generation (6G) networks. HTS is mainly designed …

Due to the non-uniform distribution of the ground traffic demand and the high mobility of non-
geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellites, how to make full use of the limited beam resources to …

The growing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices brings enormous time-sensitive
applications, which require real-time transmission to effectuate communication services. The …

This paper surveys the application and development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Satellite
Communication (SatCom) and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). We first present a …

The proliferation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) has led to increasing demand for
diverse network applications. However, conventional terrestrial access networks (TANs) are …

Satellite communication with beam hopping is a promising approach to meeting wide-area
user traffic demands under on-board resource limitation. However, there is currently a lack of …

The advent of Satellite as a Service (SaaS) platforms has empowered satellite service
providers (SPs) to rent portions of satellite capacity from infrastructure providers (IPs) to cater …

The number of base stations (BSs) in remote areas is poor, and seamless coverage cannot
be achieved. This paper investigates a cognitive satellite-terrestrial network, including the …

Non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite communication system plays an important role in
achieving seamless global coverage and addressing the digital divide. The uneven …
