Terahertz Inter-Satellite Links: Motivation, Challenges and Opportunities

Inter-satellite links (ISLs) are essential to the evolution of next-generation satellite constellations, providing the foundation for low-latency, resilient, and globally scalable connectivity. While low radio-frequency (RF)-based ISLs offer technological maturity, they are increasingly constrained by spectrum scarcity...

Transmissive RIS-Assisted Vehicular Direct-to-Satellite Communications: Opportunities, Limitations, and Comparison with Phased Arrays

This article studies transmissive reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted architectures. It compares them with electronically steered phased arrays for the deployment of vehicular direct-to-satellite (D2S) communications in future satellite networks. Rather than treating RIS as a direct replacement for phased...

Stacked Intelligent Metasurfaces Assisted UAV Communications

Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed SIM-assisted architecture significantly improves spectral efficiency while maintaining low hardware complexity, and highlight the impact of the number of metasurface layers and size of each layer on system performance.

Energy Efficient Multi-User Beamforming and 3D Position Optimization for SIM-Assisted UAVs

This paper studies energy-efficient downlink multi-user transmissions with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication systems equipped with stacked intelligent metasurfaces (SIM), enabling wave-domain analog beamforming through multiple cascaded metasurface layers, while low-dimensional digital precoding is carried ou...
