Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
B5G (Beyond 5G) is currently leading the next-generation communication technology trend. It is concerned with the development of low-orbit satellites and the deployment of high-frequency bands, so that low-orbit satellite communications can also support high-speed, low-latency, and multi-connection features. In addition, low-orbit satellites enjoy the advantage of wide signal coverage, which is beneficial to integration with 5G networks. That is, they complement 5G networks to meet seamless networking needs in rural areas, deserts, seas, and air.
The development of next-generation communication technology will promote the emergence of new applications, and will also promote the progress of more new technologies, e.g., satellite Internet of Things (consisting of maritime, Internet of Vehicles, and aviation), satellite communication applications (e.g., disaster relief and military backup communications), and satellite broadband services. Smart Internet of Vehicles technology will be applied to the information exchange between vehicles. In addition to self-driving vehicles being able to exchange road information via the Internet, they can also obtain high-resolution maps or real-time road conditions to make driving safer. Maritime applications for ships are used for instant notification of disasters; marine fishery safety; production management; ship business (e.g., inshore and pelagic fisheries, offshore operations, and leisure and entertainment); the safety of the marine environment; and maritime positioning, search, and rescue. Therefore, we kindly invite researchers and practitioners to contribute their high-quality original research or review articles on these topics to this Special Issue.
