Preface
The 7th International Conference on Wireless and Satellite Systems (WiSATS) was
held at the Norcroft Centre at the University of Bradford, Bradford, UK, during July
6–7, 2015.
This conference was formerly known as Personal Satellite Services (PSATS) and
catered mainly for research in the satellite domain. Recent technological advances in
bothwirelessandsatellitecommunicationshavemadeitpossibletobringvalue-added
services directly to the user by reducing the overall cost as well as addressing many
technological challenges such as achieving seamless mobility, security, having
miniaturized antennas and terminal sizes, and providing high data rate links. The
synergy between satellite and terrestrial wireless networks provides immense oppor-
tunities for disseminating wideband multimedia services to a wide range of audiences
over large numbers of geographically dispersed people. The services enabled by
wirelessandsatellitesystemsnotonlycovertherequirementsofanordinarycitizenbut
also have applications in various areas such as defence, vehicular field, health, etc.
Thereforethescopeoftheconferencehasbeenwidenedtocoverwirelesssystemstoo.
And WiSATS was born! The two-day event explored such techniques and provided a
platformfordiscussionbetweenacademicandindustrialresearchers,practitioners,and
students interested in future techniques relating to wireless and satellite communica-
tions, networking, technology, systems, and applications.
WiSATS 2015 boasted two outstanding keynote speakers. We were fortunate to
have Prof. David Koilpillai, Dean (Planning) of the Indian Institute of Technology
Madras,India,andDr.SastriKota,PresidentSohumConsultants,USA,asourkeynote
speakers. The keynote speakers set the tone of the topic during the two days of the
conferencewithonefocusingonthenext-generation5Gwirelesscommunicationsand
the other focusing on the emerging areas of satellite communications.
WiSATS 2015 included two workshops along with the main conference. The first
workshop, Communication Applications in Smart Grid (CASG 2015), focused on the
mergingarea ofusing communication technology withintheelectricity powergridfor
smart monitoring and control. It had six papers and two invited talks. The second
workshop, Advanced Next-Generation Broadband Satellite Systems (BSS 2015),
focused on the use of satellite systems for providing next-generation broadband ser-
vices. This workshop had six accepted papers from eminent experts in the area.
WiSATS 2015 included three technical sessions consisting of 18 high-quality reg-
ularpapersandonespecialsessiononnetworkcodingforsatellitecommunicationsthat
had five papers. WiSATS 2015 also included a panel discussion session on “Future
MaritimeVHFDigitalExchangeSystem(VDES):ACombinedTerrestrialandSatcom
System.” This panel brought together experts involved in the VDES standardization
activities worldwide for presentations and discussion on the current situation, the
challenges, sharing options for the VDE terrestrial and satellite components, the user
and regulative needs, and viewpoints on this new digital maritime communications.
VI Preface
The conference had close to 60 participants both from industrial and academic
sectorsfromvariouspartsoftheworldincludingIndia,France,Germany,Greece,UK,
The Netherlands, and Italy. The conference provided tea and coffee breaks as well as
lunch at the Norcroft Centre for all the participants throughout the conference. A gala
dinnereventwasalsoorganizedonthefirstdayoftheconferenceattheNationalMedia
MuseuminBradford.Thequalityofthevenue,servicesprovidedbythecenter’sstaff,
and especially the quality of the food and drinks were all highly spoken about during
the conference by the participants and the Organizing Committee.
Lastbutnotleast,wewouldliketothanktheOrganizingCommitteemembers,session
chairs, Technical Program Committee members, all the authors and speakers for their
technical contributions, and the attendees for their participation. Also on behalf of the
OrganizingCommitteeandtheSteeringCommitteeofWiSATS,wewouldliketothank
our sponsors, the University of Bradford, CREATE-NET, and EAI for their generous
