Safeguarding Satellite Communications: Issues, Challenges, and Solutions

An up-to-date discussion about the mitigation of satellite communications vulnerabilities

In Safeguarding Satellite Communications: Issues, Challenges, and Solutions, a team of distinguished researchers deliver an expert discussion of the most relevant issues in contemporary satellite communications security. Over 13 chapters, the authors discuss key vulnerabilities in satellite communications, including potential security attacks and reliability risks. They also explain proposed solutions based on artificial intelligence technologies, blockchain, terahertz, and spaceborne laser communication.

The book describes several promising research directions – like integrated sensing and computer vision-aided communications – and highlights ISAC-aided secure transmission, CV-aided space communications, mega-constellation security problems, and commercialization issues.

Readers will also find:
• A thorough introduction to satellite communication vulnerabilities and how to mitigate them
• A comprehensive performance evaluation method of satellite communication systems in the presence of randomly distributed terminals
• Practical discussions of the relationship between satellite communication network performance and system factors
• Complete treatments of inter- and intra-system interference in satellite communication systems

Perfect for professionals working in satellite communications and engineers designing and developing satellite communication systems, Safeguarding Satellite Communications will also benefit researchers and students interested in areas like wireless communications, telecommunications engineering, and computer engineering.
