The Journal of Electronics (China) is pleased to announce that it will publish a special issue entitled “Special Issue on Space and Satellite Communications”. Recently, there has been a growing interest in space and satellite communications – the technology that promises to overcome the problem of wide range coverage and long distance communication. The objective of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-art research results of deep space and satellite communications. We target academic contributions dealing with fundamentals of satellite communication and deep space communication. Original contributions previously unpublished and not currently under review by another journal, are solicited in relevant areas including (but not limited to) the following:
 )) System Design and Optimization;
 )) Orbit and Constellation Design;
 )) Antenna and Propagation;
 )) Multiple Access Technology;
 )) Modulation and Coding;
 )) Channel Measurement, Modeling and Evaluation;
 )) Networking Technology;
 )) Admission Control and Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation;
 )) QoS Technology;
 )) Delay Tolerant Network(DTN) Routing;
 )) Interplanetary Networking;
 )) Cross-Layer Design;
 )) MIMO and Cooperative Communication Technology;
 )) Network Coding;
 )) Cognitive Radio;
 )) Privacy and Security;
 )) Payload Architectures and Techniques;
 )) Convergence and Integration among Satellite Networks, Terrestrial Networks and Space Platforms;
 )) All-IP technology;
 )) HAPS and HALO communications;

About Journal
Established 1984, published bimonthly until now, the Journal of Electronics(China) is to provide an opportunity for researchers from Engineering and Computer sciences background to reports on the exchange of knowledge from new observational, theoretical, experimental, and computational results, thus promoting the dissemination of information on all aspects of research and development in the field of Electronics and Information Sciences. Especially, the journal is to allow authors the publication of promising concepts and algorithms with either partial or without prior experimental evaluation which ensure that timely and accurate dissemination of ideas, but only original papers not jet published and not simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere can be accepted.
Contributions are invited in the following topics: Radar Systems; Remote Sensing and Avionics; Communication Systems; Computer Engineering; Electromagnetic Fields and Waves; Electronic Measurements and Instrumentations; Circuits, Signals and Systems; Opto-electronics; Guidance and Control.
Acceptance or rejection of a manuscript is based on the appraisal of the paper by editorial board members and external reviewers to ensure a high standard of quality. Only original papers not jet published and not simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere can be accepted. If you have any questions, please contact je@mail.ie.ac.cn.
