Preface
We are delighted to introduce the proceedings of the ninth edition of the 2017
European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) International Conference on Wireless and
SatelliteSystems(formerlyPSATS),whichwasheldinthehistoriccityofOxford,UK,
during September 14–15, 2017.
The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers, developers, and prac-
titioners from around the world working in the field of wireless and satellite systems.
The theme of WiSATS 2017 was on the means of bringing wireless and satellite
services directly to the user for personal communications, multimedia, and location
identification.
ThetechnicalprogramofWiSATS2017comprised19fullpapers,includingseven
papersinthemainconferencetrack.Otherpaperswerepresentedaspartofaseriesof
workshops,including:Next-GenerationmmWaveandOpticalSatelliteSystems:From
Channel Modelling to System Performance Evaluation (SATPROP: five papers),
UnmannedAerialSystems(IWUAS:fivepapers),andCommunicationApplicationsin
Smart Grid (CASG: two papers). In addition to the high-quality technical paper pre-
sentations, the technical program also featured two keynote speeches, an invited talk,
and a panel session. The two keynote speeches were given by Dr. Hector Fenech
(Director of Future Satellite Systems at Eutelsat, France) and Vincenzo Pellegrini
(Senior Radiocommunication and SDR Systems Engineer at IDS, Ingegneria dei Sis-
temiS.p.A,Italy).TheinvitedtalkwaspresentedbyProf.FunHufromtheUniversity
of Bradford, UK, and the panel session was on the subject of “SatCom in 5G and
Beyond: Opportunities and Challenges.”
WewouldliketothankallmembersoftheOrganizingandSteeringCommitteesfor
their effective cooperation in putting together and delivering the conference. It was a
great pleasure to work with such an excellent team. In particular, the Technical Pro-
gram Committee, led by our TPC co-chairs, Giovanni Giambene and Miguel Ángel
Vázquez,whomanagedthepeer-reviewprocess.Wearealsogratefultoourconference
manager, Lenka Bilska, and her colleagues Erika Pokorna and Dominika Kalafutova
fortheirassistance.Wewouldliketothankalltheauthorswhosubmittedpaperstothe
WiSATS 2017 conference and contributed to its success. A special thanks also to all
the sponsors for their support.
We strongly believe that the WiSATs conference provides a good forum for all
researchers,developers, andpractitioners todiscussscienceandtechnology pertaining
to wireless and satellite systems. We expect that the next WiSATS conference will be
assuccessfulandstimulatingasthisedition,asindicatedbythecontributionspresented
in this volume.
