Intelligent Interference Management and Secure Communications for Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated Systems
 
Facing the ubiquitous connection requirements of all-terrain, all-weather, full scenes, satellite communications play an important role in Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated (STI) systems, as hopefully will happen if 5G/6G architectures will definitively include satellites as valuable elements. As well as wireless terrestrial communications, satellites are susceptible to be jammed and intercepted but the reference link is on the Earth-sky direction. The STI systems are faced with serious challenges in safety and reliability. L, S, C, Ku and Ka bands used in satellite communication systems are overlapped with those used in terrestrial 5G/6G system, so that self-interference problems in Satellite-Terrestrial communication systems deserve careful attention.
This special issue mainly investigates the novel structure, interference analysis and management, and secure communication for Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated systems, and focuses on interference model and analysis, artificial intelligence, physical-layer security and beamforming technologies. In addition, this special issue also focuses on interference avoidance and performance optimization, intelligent anti-jamming onboard and network anti-jamming. Through the research of this special issue, we hope to realize the object of spectrum plan and coordination, intelligent interference sensing and decision, interference management and anti-interference and physical-layer security enhancement.
 
This special issue includes, but not limited to, the following topics:
Novel structure of the Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated Systems
Spectrum Sensing and intelligent decision with Satellite-Terrestrial collaboration 
Jamming detection and intelligent decision onboard
Interference avoidance and cancellation
Beamforming and beam hopping technologies for multibeam satellite systems
Intelligent anti-jamming onboard
Secure communication models and access technologies for Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated Systems 
Physical-layer and Cross-layer secure technologies for Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated Systems
Performance optimization for Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated Systems

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
This feature topic “Intelligent Interference Management and Secure Communications for Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated Systems” welcomes submissions of high-quality novel research results capturing the state-of-the-art advances in 4G/5G/6G mobile network security. All submissions will be anonymously peer reviewed and will be evaluated on the basis of their technical content. Potential topics of interest include, but not limited to areas listed above.
 
Papers should be submitted in two separate .doc files (preferred) or .pdf files: 1) Main Document (including paper title, abstract, key words, and full text); 2) Title page (including paper title, author affiliation, acknowledgement and any other information related with the authors’ identification) through the Manuscript Central. Please register or login at http://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/chinacomm, then go to the author center and follow the instructions there. Remember to select “Feature Topic: Intelligent Interference Management and Secure Communications for Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated Systems, July Issue 2022” as your manuscript type when submitting; otherwise, it might be considered as a regular paper.
