------------------ SECOND CALL ------------------------------------------

Satellites offer clear advantages with respect to cable networks: the
architecture is scalable; the diffusion throughout the land is wide; the
bandwidth availability is high, in particular in the Ka-band, and often less
affected by congestion than terrestrial networks; satellite links are often
private lines, unlike submarine and overland networks. As a consequence,
there is increasing commercial interest to use satellites in modern
telecommunications. Some satellite operators invest spatial resources to
operate on markets with a great growth potential as Latin America. A GEO
satellite may have a key position also to guarantee an intercontinental
backbone network and a satellite may cover from the East Coast of the USA and
Latin America, to Europe, Middle East and Central Asia. Applications over the
future satellites are a key point for the development of future technology.
The should not be limited to the Internet (or to the present Internet) but
also include new environments. The competitive advantage is both the
interactivity and the possibility of building networks and services adapted
to the different needs. From tele-learning to managing activity of the Public
Administration, from bank and financial services to industrial activity
located remotely. Many industries have open peripheral offices in East Europe
and Far East and have the need to guarantee the continuity of the productive
processes. As a consequence, small "light" specifically dedicated "all
satellite" networks may be built to join the main site with the peripheral
units.

In the same time, the strong commercial interest towards satellite
communications is balanced by the costs and by the satellite network
characteristics that amplify many problems already existing in terrestrial
networks. The Quality of Service (QoS) issue is only an example of particular
relevance in the satellite environment, involving the study of architectures,
protocols, access schemes, management, propagation, antennas. Differently
from cables in terrestrial networks, satellite channels vary their
characteristics depending on the weather and the effect of fading heavily
affects the performance of the whole system. The success of satellite
communications is heavily dependent on the efficiency of new solutions and on
the possibility of conveying industrial consensus on emerging standards and
investments on key technology. This issue of IEEE Wireless Communications is
aimed at individuating key space and ground technologies, new applications,
business and technical challenges that can make feasible the exploitation of
satellite networks. The papers are solicited from industries involved in
development of new satellite systems and of specific key technologies, from
vendors of satellite services, from operators, from venture capital companies
investing in satellite communications, from standardization groups as well as
from research centres and academia.

Papers are solicited in the following areas, but not limited to:
-    Improved physical layers
-    Power and bandwidth allocation solutions
-    Resource management and reconfigurability
-    Emerging satellite systems and architectures
-    Emerging standards: DVB-S2, DVB-RCS, IPoS, …
-    QoS-oriented solutions
-    Enhanced protocols
-    PEPs
-    Traffic management and tariffing
-    Satellite network control
-    New applications and services
-    Business opportunities

Prospective authors should submit an electronic version in Word, pdf or ps of
their papers to one of the Guest Editors.

The present Issue and the Issue "The Synergy of Space and Terrestrial
Communications in Next-generation Hybrid Wireless Systems" are complementary.
They will be prepared in conjunction and the Guest Editors of both Issues
will communicate during the whole paper handling process. Papers might also
be exchanged between the two Issues according to the addressed topics.
