Free Download Modeling, Analysis, and Optimization for Space-Ground Integrated Networks
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031772776 | 155 Pages | PDF (True) | 7.3 MB
This book delves into the burgeoning field of space-ground integrated networks (SGINs), focusing on the evolution, architecture and application scenarios of large satellite constellations. As global communication demands surge, the next-generation SGINs are transitioning towards large-scale, hyperscale, and hierarchical constellations to address diverse user needs, such as ultra-long-haul, high-speed and instantaneous communications. Through an in-depth exploration of network working principles, traffic and link modeling, and performance analysis and optimization methods, this book offers substantial guidance to readers. It aims to uncover pathways for enhancing network service capability and to establish a solid theoretical foundation for the future development of mega-satellite constellations within the SGIN framework.

Free Download Martin Heidegger: Theorist of space By Theodore R. Schatzki

Free Download Global Governance of Space Cyber Security: Regulatory and Institutional Aspects
English | 2025 | ISBN: 103267184X | 189 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB
Focusing on the regulatory aspects, this book argues that the current international law cannot handle the threats posed by malicious cyber and space activities, as regulatory gaps exist owing to terminological ambiguities and legal loopholes. A law-making process in the space field is proposed with a focus on developing soft law instruments through multistakeholder platforms. To enhance the implementation and enforcement of laws concerning space cybersecurity, it is crucial to emphasise the roles of international organisations and industries. Furthermore, empowering existing international institutions with supervisory powers and promoting national legislation and domestic judicial systems are feasible approaches to enhance compliance with the law.
