IoT Applications and Services in Space Information Networks

The rate of traffic generated by MTC is growing at a very fast pace, putting strong pressure on existing network infrastructures. One of the most challenging tasks today is being able to support M2M/IoT data exchanges by providing connectivity between any pair of M2M devices all over the world. For this reason, we analyze the role of SINs in supporting MTC in this work. Horizontal solutions are analyzed herein in order to allow interworking by...
