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).

“…The employment of Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Services (MBMS) [23] in the scenario depicted previously can enhance the overall system performance, because multicast emergency transmissions can be delivered to groups of receivers at the same time, thus avoiding data duplications both in the core network and over the air interface. Previous research works [23][24][25] investigated the feasibility of using HAPs for providing multicast services in rural and/or emergency areas, where the HAPs were either utilized as base stations in the sky (standalone case) or as an overlapping coverage (integrated system case). In [23], a survey on inter-working scenarios where HAPs operate in synergy with the UMTS terrestrial and satellite segments for providing mobile users with MBMS services is presented.…”

“…This implies that, when multiple multicast groups are present in the system, they rapidly saturate the available radio resources and cause blocking of new calls. An alternative approach to overcome this issue is through the aid of self-organizing mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), as proposed in [24]. In a scenario wherein the preexistent UMTS terrestrial network is not available, FR teams are equipped with multi-mode end devices able to cooperatively exchange data over a short-range radio interface (e.g., WiFi).…”

SUMMARY This paper deals with the cooperative strategies, which can be adopted in emergency scenarios by integrating space and terrestrial segments, and communication and localization services. First, the cooperative solutions for integrated Navigation and Communication systems are reviewed and an effective software‐defined radio implementation is described. Then, cooperative systems for broadcast and multicast communications in Incident Area Network are proposed and evaluated: in the broadcast scenario, low‐complexity relaying techniques are adopted to overcome the propagation impairments and the performance degradation; in the multicast system, radio resources management techniques for group communications are designed to allow the efficient use of scarce resources and improve connectivity and reliability of the overall system. The technical solutions have been studied and tested in the framework of the Italian National Research Project SAtellite‐assisted LocalIzation and Communication system for Emergency services [1].

“…This network can be split into two different subnetworks based on their coverage features: a long-range network (LRN) and a short-range network (also called incident area network, IAN). The LRN comprises Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and HAP systems that enable communication between the incident area and the external zones [7]- [9], while the IAN is a self-forming temporary ad hoc network deployed on the scene of an incident to replace the damaged network infrastructure and is able to support personal and local communications among different public safety end users. In the following, possible cooperative solutions for both hybrid satellite terrestrial systems and high altitude platforms -mobile ad hoc network (HAP -MANET) networks are defined and studied and the behavior of coexisting air interfaces in the IAN is analyzed.…”
