Welcome Message from the General Chairs
On behalf of the Organising Committee and the Technical Program
Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2016
edition of 8th Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference
and 14th Signal Processing for Space Communications Workshop
(ASMS/SPSC 2016) in Palma de Mallorca (Spain).
ASMS/SPSC 2016 brings together researchers from all over the world
to discuss the latest advances in satellite communications and
networking technologies, from advanced transmission schemes to
novel random access schemes, but also reserving a particular
attention to satellite system design and validation. Peculiarity of the
ASMS/SPSC is thus to conjugate papers about the newest
theoretical findings with others addressing specific design activities
for practical implementation in the context of satellite and space
communications.
The technical program of ASMS/SPSC 2016 consists of 8 technical
sessions, 3 special tracks, as well as 4 tutorials. The conference also
features 4 keynote speeches, which will highlight industry and
academic perspectives on satellite and mobile communications,
putting particular emphasis on the roadmap towards 5G
technology as well as the most attractive applications and
scenarios for the integration of satellite technology.
The result is a vibrant technical program for the entire duration of
the conference, consisting of technical presentations of very high
quality and invited talks given by brilliant and renowned speakers in
the panorama of satellite and terrestrial wireless communication.
We expect many discussions to continue outside of the technical
sessions and believe that our venue and program provide plenty of
space and opportunities, in that respect.
We would like to thank all Panel and Tutorial Chairs, all the members
of the Technical Program Committee, the numerous external
reviewers for their dedication and last not least all paper authors,

New Satellite Architectures and Services: a Holistic
Approach
Abstract: In the design of new satellite system architectures, and of
any new telecommunication system architecture in general, very
often the focus of new proponents is concentrated on the
advantages of one or a few elements in the value chain. This
approach has many times led to the conception of new systems
and services that have difficulties in finding a sound business thus
limiting the commercial and financial return to companies investing
in the new ventures.
Historically a technology push coming from satellite manufacturers
has very often been challenged by service operators looking for a
good level of return on necessary investments and so far resulted in
a continuous growth in the satellite market in the last decades.
Much less attention has been dedicated to the development of
innovative and cost effective ground segment equipment since the
big manufacturers of chipsets and terminals are not interested in
developing solutions for niche markets, like the one of satellitepowered systems. The only large-scale exception to this
disadvantageous situation has so far been the one represented by
16
Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference / Signal Processing for Space
Communications Workshop
ASMS/SPSC 2016
digital satellite broadcasting where DVB standard equipment and
chipsets have been and are produced in hundreds of millions of
units.
When analysing the opportunity cost of a service for a specific
market the overall costs including the ground segment and user
segment are normally taken into account. You should also take into
account the overall operational costs including licensing, marketing
and product distribution strategy as well as operational cost related
to the business model.
In analysing, for example, the costs in a typical HTS system
architecture you will easily discover that the total CAPEX at terminal
and ground segment level is often equal if not higher than the one
at space segment level. This becomes even more evident in the
case of LEO systems where the terrestrial gateway network and in
particular the end user terminal CAPEX dominates once the costs of
self-pointing terminals are taken into account. To reduce the impact
of the end user terminal costs the obvious solution proposed by
some proponents is to use the satellite to feed wide area terrestrial
gateways, 3G/LTE or future 5G gateways, and reduce in this way
the individual CAPEX per end customer. As a result, you will have to
take into account the optimization of a hybrid infrastructure,
including operational and maintenance costs, to obtain a real
advantage in terms of actual tariffs charged to the end users that
should remain competitive with those of native terrestrial solutions.
A similar cost structure has been so far proposed when dealing with
alternatives to GEO or LEO based solutions and in particular in the
case of high altitude balloons or platforms (HAPs) of various kinds. In
both cases the very limited on board payload mass and power
impose a more sophisticated and expensive terrestrial gateway
terminal that should track the HAP and that should interface with a
local wide area network gateway. For every system of these latter
categories the presence of a local operator taking care of
marketing and commercial operations for the proposed service(s)
17
Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference / Signal Processing for Space
Communications Workshop
ASMS/SPSC 2016
is key for a successful service deployment. Its proactive interest in
supporting technologies being part of the infrastructure under its
control, become therefore key in helping the deployment of any of
those services.
A variation to the typical Telco approach is the one experimented
by Facebook where they try to propose to potential customers a
“free” service where only a subset of internet contents is accessible.
In this way the overall business model can be sustained by the
advertising revenues generated by the very large number of
customers potentially attracted by a “free to air service”. This model
has been so far experimented using “voluntary” terrestrial operators
supporting Facebook efforts. Facebook has recently been
challenged by the Indian government mainly because the actual
return for any local entity becomes difficult to demonstrate. It seems
therefore key to look for business models which provide enough
local return to sustain part of the cost of the local operators.
In the proposed presentation an analysis of some key architectures,
combined or not with terrestrial infrastructures, and related
advantages and drawbacks will be presented.

The New Maritime VHF Data Exchange System The Satellite Element Definition and the Norsat-2
SDR Satellite
Abstract: The maritime Automatic Identification System (AIS) has
been a great success and is used by more than 150,000 ships
globally. Even though satellite reception of these signals was not
envisaged, several satellite receive these ship transmissions and the
messages are used by Costal Administrations and other entities to
improve safety and efficiency of shipping. AIS is now extensively
used not only for collision avoidance, but also for costal two way
communications, and this traffic can in the future overload the
system. The VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) currently being
20
Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference / Signal Processing for Space
Communications Workshop
ASMS/SPSC 2016
defined by the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities
(IALA) is refining the ITU 2092-0 standard. VHF frequencies for the
terrestrial part and two channels for satellite (ASM) were allocated
at WRC 2015, additional frequencies for the two-way satellite will be
addressed at WRC-19.
It is expected that AIS and VDES will be combined as one piece of
equipment carried by most commercial ships in the future to
support a number of services related to electronic navigation.
The presentation will address the VDES-SAT design parameters and
considerations (physical layer and up) based on the latest updates
from the IALA working group and the Norwegian Norsat-2 satellite
scheduled for launch early 2017 which carries a VDES Software
Defined Transceiver and an 8 dBi deployable crossed Yagi antenna.
Short Biography: Mr. Haugli has played and worked with electronics
from the age of 8. During nearly 15 years at ESA and Inmarsat he
has been involved in propagation measurements, system design,
testing and operations of 6 mobile satellite communications
systems. As Chief Engineer at Vistar Telecom (now Skywave) he was
responsible for the GlobalWave system used to monitor and track
mobile assets on five continents using low cost battery operated
terminals.
He now works for Space Norway who under an ESA contract have
been active in defining the satellite part of the VDES system, Space
Norway has also procured a VDES test payload from Kongsberg
Seatex that will fly on Norsat-2 made by UTIAS, this payload will be
used by the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment to
characterize the VHF propagation channel.

Extremely High Speed Avenues for Space
Communications: Optical & W-band Waves
Abstract: The current telecommunications marketplace is
experiencing an ever increasing demand for high-speed services,
and the traffic demand for satellite broadband is expected to grow
six-fold by 2020. As part of the continuous migration towards higher
frequency bands, Optical & W-band waves offer the promise of
unprecedented bandwidth compared to current commercial
solutions, leveraging enough bandwidth capable to cope with mid
and long-term requirements. Together they can realize extremely
high speed avenues for space communications in inter-satellite and
feeder link applications. This tutorial focuses on giving a thorough
overview of the different aspects and challenges to be taken into
account when implementing GEO feeder links in the optical
domain and W-band waves, including physical layer, channel
model, modem, satellite payload and system level aspects.
Particular attention is given to the feeder uplink scenario, which—as
part of the forward link—presents itself as critical for the successful
22
Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference / Signal Processing for Space
Communications Workshop
ASMS/SPSC 2016
implementation of future extremely high throughput satellite
systems.
The tutorial will attempt to stress the practical challenges of these
high frequency RF and optical technologies, proposing also ways
forward in terms of necessary space and ground technology
development, as well as open research directions.

Satellite-Based Interference Localization
Techniques
Abstract: Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) represents a serious
threat for the satellite industry: it is the single most important
operational problem affecting customer services on geostationary
satellites, causing the SATCOM industry to lose millions of dollars per
year; and it is classified as a major threat to navigation systems and
their users. In this context, it is becoming of critical importance to
design space systems that are able to localize the interference
source, allowing taking actions (e.g., sending the authorities to the
place the interference originates from) that can prevent future
repetitions of similar behaviours.
This tutorial will give an overview of localization approaches that are
based on processing the signal sent by a target, covering aspects
such as: 1) the extraction of basic features from the received signal,
which define loci of points within which the target may be located;
2) the computation of a position fix from multiple loci of points; and
3) the challenges associated to a satellite based localization
approach, with particular emphasis to a single satellite architecture.
In addition to it, the localization results obtained with a software
simulator developed by Qascom will be shown and discussed.

Information-Centric Networking for Content
Distribution and Integration of Satellite
Communications into the Future Internet
Abstract: Inspired by the observation that the Internet is increasingly
used for the dissemination of, or access to information, rather than
for pair-wise communication between specific end hosts,
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is based on identifying
content, or information, at the internetwork layer and employing
information-awareness as the means for addressing a series of
limitations in the current Internet architecture. The Publish-Subscribe
Internet (PSI) architecture, a clean-slate ICN approach for the future
Internet, was designed to satisfy current and emerging user
demands for pervasive information delivery.
25
Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference / Signal Processing for Space
Communications Workshop
ASMS/SPSC 2016
After a brief introduction to ICN in general, this presentation will
provide an overview of the PSI architecture (developed through
two European projects, PSIRP and PURSUIT) and will also present an
overview of our current H2020 project POINT with goal to
demonstrate commercially viable deployment of existing services
over ICN. PSI provides native support for network layer caching,
multicast, multi-path and multi-source transport, security and
privacy, and seamless mobility, which make it an excellent platform
for ubiquitous multimedia information delivery for the future Internet.
We will also present as case studies support for a few different
applications and environments.
With video constituting the majority of all current Internet traffic and
its share increasing, any future Internet architecture should provide
tangible benefits for video and multimedia applications. ICN
architectures were designed with the specific goal of improving
content distribution on the Internet. We have considered and will
discuss to what extent various ICN architectures are appropriate
and ready for video traffic. We then will present how efficient
delivery of real-time multimedia information can be supported in
the PSI architecture, which places information at the heart of the
network layer and decouples the forwarding, path formation and
topology management functionalities. This design approach can
be highly beneficial for real-time communications, as it enables the
network to apply sophisticated mechanisms for multicast tree
construction, such as delivery over optimal Steiner trees. Initial
experiments with a proof-of-concept implementation of PSI
indicate the feasibility of realizing such optimization policies. Our
results show that significant bandwidth savings can be achieved at
the cost of small, un-noticeable to the end-users, delays in flow
establishment.
We also consider and illustrate key functionalities and gains when
using ICN, and PSI in particular, for integrating terrestrial and satellite
networks, still a major component for multimedia distribution today,
by jointly exploiting the advantages of each: transparent use of
terrestrial multicasting and satellite broadcasting, content-based
multipath transfer, and seamless mobility. Multipath content delivery
with Quality-of-Service (QoS) based routing is a powerful technique,
26
Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference / Signal Processing for Space
Communications Workshop
ASMS/SPSC 2016
offering bandwidth aggregation while keeping service latency low.
However, the realization of multipath QoS routing in IP networks is
not inherently supported and requires complicated extensions to
network operation. On the other hand, the PSI architecture natively
supports multicast, source routing and centralized path selection,
thus posing as promising terrain for QoS routing. Finally, in modern
access networks, ICN can be exploited in many ways to improve
performance and robustness in a flexible way. We will briefly present
two application scenarios that exploit key features of the PSI
architecture: secure publication proxy and multi-source mobile
video streaming.

Secure Communications: a Pillar for the Protection
of Space Missions
Abstract: This tutorial will introduce the audience to secure
communications as a fundamental building block of modern space
mission security engineering. We will start with an introduction to
security and security engineering as a systems engineering
discipline. We will present the typical organization of security
engineering methodologies. We will discuss the particular context
of space missions and their security problems. We will break down
the space mission security problem into its main elements: space
asset, ground asset and mission products protection. We will shortly
present the various types of missions like Earth observation,
28
Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference / Signal Processing for Space
Communications Workshop
ASMS/SPSC 2016
telecommunications and navigation, illustrating the particulars of
these mission domains with examples.
We will focus on the communications between the space and
ground segments, which play a critical role on mission operations
and mission products delivery and, therefore, can be the subject of
various threats. We will identify the most common security objectives
applicable to these communication links and will detail the various
security
services
with
corresponding
countermeasures
implemented to protect the communications. In particular, we will
present the data link layer (authentication, encryption and
authenticated encryption) and physical layer (linear and
cryptographic spread spectrum) security countermeasures.
Cryptography and key management are fundamental
complements of these countermeasures and we will discuss their
main tenets. We will introduce relevant secure communications and
cryptographic algorithm standards in support of space missions like
the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS)
Space Data Link Security (SDLS) protocol. This protocol provides a
modular add-on security service to the very popular CCSDS
Telecommand (TC), Telemetry (TM) and Advanced Orbiting Systems
(AOS) space link protocols.
To conclude we will outline current directions of space mission
security research of interest like physical layer security and network
security, the latter very relevant for future constellations with intersatellite links. Furthermore, we will outline the ongoing work on SDLS
extension.
As a complement of this tutorial we will provide ample bibliography
for those participants interested in further pursuing the study of this
fascinating engineering discipline.

ST1: Hybrid Terrestrial Satellite Networking and
Services
The continuously growing volume of mobile data, further assisted by
the densification of base stations & access points places an
increasingly heavy burden on the backhaul segment of the
network. Leveraging the satellite segment as a way to relieve some
of this burden is an approach that has been recently gained
traction. For example, LTE/4G access served by satellite backhaul
has been recently demonstrated, leading to a growing consensus
that satellites should be part of the 5G networks. This vision is further
exacerbated by the broadband and broadcast capabilities of
satellites, as well as their wide area coverage that enables access
at affordable cost and disaster resilience.
Based on the above, this proposed special track is focused around
the concept of hybrid satellite / terrestrial networks that can serve
jointly and in a better way the increasing backhauling needs of
current, emerging and future mobile networks. Given the immaturity
of the field, a number of key issues have yet to be explored, ranging
from the required network architecture to the modelling of the
involved channels (at 18GHz and 28 GHz) and interference, to the
development of interference avoidance / mitigation techniques,
possibly assisted by antenna arrays, to the definition of network
virtualization and software defined networking for better end-toend service provisioning.
31

The proposed special session is fueled by a number of recent results
in two EU (H2020) research projects that are active in these research
areas: SANSA (www.sansa-h2020.eu), which focuses on ensuring
high capacity and resilience of these types of hybrid networks
assisted by advanced antenna systems and VITAL (www.ictvital.eu), which targets SDN- based, federated resource
management for a unified control plane that would allow operators
to efficiently manage and optimise the operation of hybrid SatComTerrestrial networks.

ST2: Ubiquitous Broadband Access
The satellite telecommunication market is currently living a
technology revolution thanks to the success of High Throughput
Satellites (HTS). The need for high speed interconnectivity
everywhere on the planet is driving the satellite operators to very
advanced technical solutions both at satellite and ground segment
level. In particular, the need to provide a cost competitive high
throughput connectivity to a wide geographical area with a typical
large traffic spatial and temporal variability, is driving the system
design to new paradigms in terms of flexibility of the resources as
well as satellite design and production methods.
In this special track, some of these key aspects are presented by
speakers representing some of the most successful and innovative
satellite operators.

The booming of applications in the areas of Internet of Things and
Machine to Machine will play a prominent role in the upcoming
development of 5G standard. Satellite telecommunication can
play an important role whenever truly worldwide availability, even
in very remote areas and across national borders is required.
Especially interesting are those applications scenarios where very

ASMS/SPSC 2016 Visitor Information
Palma de Mallorca is a modern
cosmopolitan city with a
wealth of things to do, and it
welcomes visitors with open
arms all year round. The city is
an
excellent
base
for
excursions and for discovering
the corners of the rest of the island. All of Mallorca’s attractions are
within about an hour by car, making getting around the island
comfortable and practical. This means that you can organise your
stay so that, from the capital, you can plan visits to the Serra de
Tramuntana mountains (with many hiking trails), the north of the
island, with its beaches and its enchanting scenery, the coves and
the natural wonders of the east of the island, the long sandy
beaches of the south and the rural and gastronomic world of the
interior. The choice is yours!
Monument: Consell Insular
The Consell Insular de Mallorca,
situated next to the City Hall, is
Mallorca's current governing body.
The building's origins can be traced
back to the old Provincial
Deputation, a state institution of
the early 19th century that had this
palace built, with a notable neoGothic façade designed by the
architect Joaquín Pavía y Birmingham, in 1882. The interesting
sculptural details are the work of the artist Llorenç Ferrer i Martí.

Mallorca Cathedral: La Seu
The Cathedral is Mallorca’s most
emblematic monument, as it
perfectly synthesises the last eight
centuries of its history. The image
of a great ship on the sea
dominating the bay of Palma with
its beauty and presence first
surprises visitors before arousing
their curiosity and becoming a
symbol of the island’s historical and spiritual heritage. Built next to
the Mediterranean, the Cathedral leads a monumental ensemble,
evoking the cultures that came before the conquest of Madina
Mayurqa, on 31 December 1229, by James I, the King of Aragon
and Count of Barcelona. James the Conqueror, following the habit
of the time, consecrated the old mosque to the Virgin Mary and
prepared to build a new church in the style of the era. There is
documentary evidence from 1230 relating to the work on the
Cathedral.
Historic Garden S’Hort del Rei
S’Hort del Rei was a mediaeval
garden located outside the
walls of the Almudaina palace
that existed until the 19th
century when the area was
developed. It enjoyed a
golden age in the early 14th
century in the times of King
James II of Mallorca, and there
were fruit trees, flowers and
vegetable gardens. Animals such as rabbits were also bred there. In
the 1960s, as part of the plan for restoring the surroundings of the
Almudaina palace, the buildings on this site were demolished in
order to put in new gardens in a historical style, designed by the
Mallorcan architect Gabriel Alomar. He combined traditional

elements of Mallorcan gardens, such as a pergola, with other
elements of Andalusian inspiration, like a pond with fountains
reminiscent of the one in the Alhambra. However, this new layout
has little relationship with the mediaeval one.
Palma de Mallorca City Hall
This building, with its 17th
century exterior and 19th
century interior is located in
Plaza de Cort, Palma’s focal
point. It was originally the seat
of the Jurados, the executive
branch of the old Kingdom of
Mallorca. With the changes in
the government, that took
place in the 18th century,
Palma council inherited the building as well as the furnishings of the
former University of the Kingdom. In its interior its picture gallery
stands out, especially its collection of paintings of notable figures of
the Kingdom of Mallorca.
