CALL FOR PAPERS

Technology advances in communications together with changes in the 
regulatory framework are paving the way for next generation satellite 
systems. Broadband on the move, improved spectrum efficiency, flexible 
payloads are the keywords. These evolutions foster advances both for the 
end-users and the satellite operators, yielding opportunities for new 
value added services including those that blur the frontiers between 
Earth observation, telecommunications and positioning. The legacy role 
of satellite communication as bearer of broadband and broadcast services 
is also confirmed as the need for global multimedia distribution rises.
In addition to that, the gap between terrestrial and the so-called 
space communication technologies is getting narrower. The space segment 
is now the natural bridge among heterogeneous networks provided flexible 
capacity wherever and whenever needed.
The Personal SATellite Service conference, confirms through its 5th 
edition that there is a need for a scientific forum where these 
evolutions are prepared. The conference provides a multifaceted floor 
for technology and networking where all R&D actors including academic 
and industrial researchers, practitioners and students can meet and 
discuss.

The conference will consist of diverse technical tracks:

General Track
- Satellite antenna designs, modulation and coding
- Synchronization, equalization and channel estimation
- Channel modelling for satellite communications
- MIMO communications for satellites
- Interference detection and mitigation techniques
- DVB and broadband access technologies
- Networking topologies for broadband over satellite links
- IP over satellite and QoS support
- Reliable multicast protocols, transport protocol over satellite
- Onboard switching and processing delay tolerant networking
- Radio resource management and packet scheduling
- Power control, hand-over issues and call admission control
- Emerging standardizations and issues
- Satellite navigation systems, services and tracking
- Real-time multimedia streaming, broadcast/multicasting
- QoS and RRM in the integrated satellite-WSN architecture
- Security related issues of satellite communications

Value added services and future systems

- Voice, broadband Internet, positioning
- IPTV, DVB,
- Infrastructure and network management
- IP over satellite and heterogeneous networks
- Quality of Service (QoS) issues
- Ka-band and emerging frequency bands
- Earth observation
