This school aims at addressing these aspects of the future’s satellite systems, presenting opportunities, challenges, and possible future directions.
The Italian National Consortium for the Telecommunications (CNIT) – University of Siena and the National Research Council – Information Science and Technologies Institute are two consolidated research entities in the panorama of satellite communications and have historical participation in SatNEx activities since the foundation of the Satellite Network of Excellence. In the past ISTI-CNR hosted many SatNex Summer Schools in 2005, 2007, and 2008. Moreover, the University of Siena, Department of Information Engineering and Mathematics, hosted the summer school in 2011. A deep and consolidated partnership between the two institutions has produced significant research results in these years both on scientific and didactic terms, fostering the professional growth of Ph.D. students also under the support of SatNEx, becoming today’s established researchers.
This school will also take advantage of the link established in the last four years with satellite research groups around the world by the IEEE Future Network (International Network Generations Roadmap)- Satellite Working Group (https://futurenetworks.ieee.org/) , co-chaired by G. Giambene, University of Siena. This research team has provided three reports and organized a recent workshop addressing future challenges and solutions for satellite 5G/6G. This could also facilitate joint initiatives / events for the students, as explained above.
5G-STARDUST’s Project Coordinator, Tomaso de Cola (DLR) will be speaking at the event.
