Increasing Long Range Coverage by Multiple Antennas for Maritime Broadband Communications

Hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial Communication Networks for the Maritime Internet of Things: Key Technologies, Opportunities, and Challenges

“…The authors in [124] used vertically spaced multiple antennas at the receiver side and proposed a frequency and time synchronization and scheduling scheme to overcome deep fading, assuming the two-path characteristic of maritime channels. The authors in [125] proposed a service-oriented framework for the management of MCNs and developed three policybased routing schemes using the framework.…”
