Global Mobile Satellite Communications Theory For Maritime Land And Aeronautical Applications 2Ed (Hb 2017) Hardcover

This book explores the latest theories in global mobile satellite communications (GMSC) for maritime, land (road and rail), and aeronautical applications. It examines how these technologies facilitate connections between moving objects—such as ships, vehicles, and aircraft—and ground-based telecommunications networks. Through satellites, ground earth stations, terrestrial telecommunication networks (TTN), internet service providers (ISP), and other wireless and landline providers, seamless global connectivity is achieved. This new edition highlights recent advancements in GMSC, including emerging land and aeronautical applications, as well as the development of new satellite constellations in non-geostationary orbits and hybrid satellite systems. It presents current trends, mobile system concepts, and network architectures in a clear and accessible style, supported by technical explanations, illustrations, graphics, and mathematical equations. Originally part of Global Mobile Satellite Communications (Springer, 2005), this second edition was divided into two volumes—one focusing on applications and the other on theoretical foundations. This book provides a thorough discussion of the theoretical aspects of GMSC, making it an essential resource for researchers, engineers, and professionals in the field.
