Wireless and Satellite Systems

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th
International Conference on Wireless and Satellite Services, WiSATS 2015, held
in Bradford, UK, in July 2015. The conference was formerly known as the
International Conference on Personal Satellite Services (PSATS) mainly covering
topics in the satellite domain. As the scope of the conference widened to
include wireless systems, the conference was renamed to WiSATS.

The 29 revised papers were presented at the
conference in three technical sessions and one special session on “Network Coding
for Satellites”. WiSATS 2015 also hosted two workshops along with the main
conference: The first workshop, Communication Applications in Smart Grid (CASG
2015), focused on the merging area of using communication technology within the
electricity power grid for smart monitoring and control. The second workshop,
Advanced Next-Generation Broadband Satellite Systems (BSS 2015), focused on the
use of satellite systems for providing next-generation broadband
services.
