In this article, we introduce and design sparse constellations for direct-to-satellite Internet of Things (DtS-IoT). DtS-IoT does not require a ground infrastructure, because the devices are directly connected to low earth orbit satellites acting as orbiting gateways.

Direct-to-Satellite IoT (DtS-IoT) is a promising approach to deliver data transfer services devices in remote areas where deploying terrestrial infrastructure not appealing or feasible. In this context, low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites can serve as passing-by gateways which offload buffered to. However, transmission distances and channel dynamics, combined with highly constrained on the ground makes of DtS-IoT very challenging problem. Here, we present LoRa-based approaches realize scalable...
When faced with a choice between exploring an unknown option vs exploiting they know well, older adults explore less and exploit more than younger adults. Recent work has suggested that one driver of this age difference in exploration is reduction the extent to which use “random exploration” – driven by behavioral variability. Here we investigate potential mechanisms for age-related random through lens drift diffusion model (DDM) explore-exploit choice. In model, can be modulated two...
Existing Internet protocols assume persistent end-to-end connectivity, which cannot be guaranteed in disruptive and high-latency space environments. To operate over these challenging networks, a store-carry-and-forward communication architecture called Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) has been proposed. This work provides the first examination of performance robustness Contact Graph Routing (CGR) algorithm, state-of-the-art routing scheme for space-based DTNs. this end, after...
Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) have become a promising architecture for wireless sensor systems in challenged communication environments where traditional solutions based on persistent connectivity either fail or show serious weaknesses. As result, different routing schemes been investigated that take into account the time-evolving nature of network topology. Among them, contact graph has proposed space with predictable connectivity. In order to evaluate decisions, DTN nodes need know plan...

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) are the most widespread technology for Position and Timing (PNT). They have been traditionally deployed exploiting Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) or Geosynchronous (GSO) satellites. To meet future demands overcome MEO GSO limitations, GNSSs based on Low (LEO) constellations investigated as a radical system change. Although characterized by higher Doppler effect, PNT service supplied LEO satellites can provide received signals that about 30 dB stronger....
The design and launch of large-scale satellite networks create an imminent demand for efficient delay-minimising routing methods. With the rising number satellites in such constellations, pre-computing all shortest routes between times becomes more infeasible due to space time limitations. Even though distributed on-demand methods were developed specific LEO network configurations, they are not suited increasingly popular mega-constellations based on Walker Delta formations. contributions...
