Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks (SAGINs)

EasyChair Preprint no. 14099

Abstract

Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks (SAGINs) represent a revolutionary approach to achieving seamless, ubiquitous connectivity by integrating space-based, aerial, and terrestrial communication systems. This research investigates the architecture, challenges, and potential solutions for developing robust SAGINs. By combining satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and traditional ground infrastructure, SAGINs aim to provide continuous, high-speed communication services across diverse environments, including remote and underserved areas. The study addresses key technical challenges such as dynamic network topology, spectrum management, latency, and interoperability between heterogeneous network components. It explores advanced techniques in network design, resource allocation, and mobility management to optimize performance and reliability. Additionally, the research evaluates the impact of emerging technologies like 5G/6G, artificial intelligence, and machine learning on enhancing SAGIN capabilities. Through simulations and real-world case studies, the findings demonstrate the potential of SAGINs to support a wide range of applications, from disaster response and environmental monitoring to global internet coverage and smart city implementations. This work underscores the critical role of SAGINs in the future of global communication networks, highlighting their ability to bridge connectivity gaps and enhance network resilience.
