Awards and grants

  • Harry Rowe Mimno award

    Awarded by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society in recognition of outstanding contributions to applied electromagnetics and radio wave propagation, with direct impact on satellite communication systems.

  • IEEE fellow

    Elevated to IEEE Fellow, the highest grade of IEEE membership, for exceptional contributions to the profession. Fewer than 0.1% of IEEE members hold this distinction.

  • EURASIP best paper award

    Best Paper Award for the EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking (JWCN) 鈥 recognising the most impactful research published in one of the field’s leading peer-reviewed journals.

  • Distinguished contributions to Satellite Communications award

    Presented by the IEEE Communications Society Satellite and Space Communications Technical Committee, the highest recognition in the satellite communications discipline worldwide.

Tools

Two different tools were developed within .

SatComm carrier aggregation

CADSAT SW Tool 1: CA validation for single user with PHY-layer details and GSE encapsulation implemented. The presence of other users is artificially generated with XFECFRAME zero-padding. Used to validate the PDU scheduler and merging traffic at the user side.

H. Al-Hraishawi, N. Maturo, E. Lagunas, S. Chatzinotas, 鈥淪cheduling Design and Performance Analysis of Carrier Aggregation in Satellite Communication Systems鈥, , 2021.

CADSAT SW Tool 1
CADSAT SW Tool 2

CADSAT SW Tool 2: System level simulation consisting of multiple users located in different beams and with different demands. CA is enabled in certain users to face the instantaneous peak demands.
