“…a selfforming temporary network infrastructure brought to the scene of an incident to support personal and local communications among different public safety end-users (fire brigades, police, medics, etc.) and their connection with a gateway [30]. In this context, the IAN can replace the damaged local terrestrial network infrastructure, and, when connected to a satellite network can provide communication with a remote crisis center.…”

This paper focuses on the use of satellite communication systems for the support of Internet of Things (IoT). We refer to the IoT paradigm as the means to collect data from sensors or RFID and to send control messages to actuators. In many application scenarios, sensors and actuators are distributed over a very wide area, in some cases they are located in remote areas where they are not served by terrestrial access networks and, as a consequence, the use of satellite communication systems becomes of paramount importance for the Internet of Remote Things (IoRT). The enabling factors of IoRT through satellite are: 1) the interoperability between satellite systems and sensors/actuators; 2) the support of IPv6 over satellite. Furthermore, radio resource management algorithms are required to enhance the efficiency of IoT over satellite. In this work we provide an integrated view of satellitebased IoT, handling this topic as a jigsaw puzzle where the pieces to be assembled are represented by the following topics: MAC protocols for satellite routed sensor networks, efficient IPv6 support, heterogeneous networks interoperability, quality of service management, group-based communications. Index Terms-Internet of Remote Things (IoRT), Internet of Things (IoT), Machine to Machine (M2M) communications, satellite communications, Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN).

“…Since UEs are connected to MRs, the problem becomes that of handing over the MRs, i.e., a lower number of more powerful devices. The handover problem in moving networks, especially in vehicular and public transport networks, has been studied extensively in the literature, e.g., (Morillo-Pozo et al, 2008;Araniti et al, 2009;Niyato and Wang, 2009;Trullols-Cruces et al, 2009;Borota et al, 2011;Sui et al, 2012a;Sui et al, 2012b;Sui et al, 2013). The handover with an MR on public transportation systems represents a complex scenario, since in these systems numerous macro, micro and picocells are installed at different urban locations, which might affect the handover.…”

Seven Challenges for Communication in Modern Railway Systems

To meet the increasing demands for passenger data rates, modern railway communication networks face significant challenges. The advent of 5G communications after the long-term evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems provides several technological advances to address these challenges. In this paper, after reviewing the main 5G communication aspects for modern railways, we describe seven main challenges faced by train connectivity, and discuss appropriate solutions. Specifically, we elaborate on techniques for ensuring connectivity and energy efficiency for the passengers' user equipment (UE) through the use of mobile relays (MRs) on top of the train wagons in conjunction with intelligent resource allocation.

“…Operators also provide priority telephones (Miyamoto et al ) and build redundant dense‐mesh networks (Kwasinski and Tang ) to ensure resilient connectivity immediately after an earthquake. Technological solutions that facilitate information exchange during the response and recovery phase, such as disaster area architecture (Phillip and Hodge ), disaster‐resilient network architecture (Sakano et al ), and incident area network architecture (Araniti et al ), have been proposed.…”

This paper examines the spatial clustering and correlation of epicentres of the 2015 Gorkha earthquake and its spatial relationship to the telecommunications infrastructure of Nepal. Ripley's K function analysis suggests that epicentres of the main earthquake shock and aftershocks and base stations of worldwide Interoperability for microwave access are generally clustered. However, the cluster patterns decline over distance. Moran's I statistics further suggested that the epicentres and base stations at the district level are spatially significant and positively correlated. As Nepal is one of the most earthquake‐prone countries in the world, this paper recommends that the Government of Nepal, operators, and other concerned parties should identify the importance of telecommunications infrastructure and develop a critical infrastructure plan including location and redundancy options to mitigate and minimize the detrimental impacts of earthquakes and other disasters on telecommunications services in the country.
