Integration of Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks for Automotive: challenges and perspectives within the S11 RESTART project

The Integrated Terrestrial And Non-Terrestrial Networks (ITA NTN) project, in the framework of the PNRR Research Program, is here described; it will study the integration of Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks, where space network entities cooperate with conventional and emerging terrestrial communication architectures to provide ubiquitous, resilient, and three-dimensional wireless connectivity around the world, supporting heterogeneous services (e.g., improving better coverage, user ex...

Technologies and infrastructures for a sustainable space

The space is going to become an unsafe place to operate. The amount of active and passive space objects (satellites and debris) that are concentrated in some orbits represents a treat. In such a crowded environment, spectrum management becomes more complex and the probability to operate with high level of interference increases. It is becoming more and more clear that actions are needed to make the space more sustainable. Much of the effort is nowadays in reducing the risk associated to the a...

A roadmap to future space connectivity: satellite and interplanetary networks

Space and terrestrial systems are more tightly related then anyone can suspect. A part from the obvious cooperation and synergy that must exist between the space and terrestrial components of an integrated infrastructure, another subtended relationship characterizes terrestrial and space activities: the virtuous osmosis of architectures and technologies adopted on Earth to space and vice versa. It is perhaps more instinctive to expect a from-Earth-to-space osmosis of technologies and arch...
