Session rationale and content:
It is foreseen that about 50000 new LEO satellites will orbit overhead within ten years in order to support a variety of applications such as broadband and low-power long-range communications, remote sensing, and possibly navigation services. For example, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are at significantly lower altitudes than GNSS and operate at higher speed, and thus they have the potential to deliver several benefits over GNSS satellites in terms of navigation, precise point positioning & timing (PNT), as well as location-enabled communications. LEO capabilities as Signals of Opportunity as well as new LEO constellation designs are of high relevance nowadays.
In this special session, we solicit novel papers related (but not limited to)
- system studies of LEO-based PNT systems to complement a GNSS solutions
- studies on interoperabilities between LEO-PNT and GNSS
- design of new LEO constellations
- LEO as SoO for positioning
- ground- and space-segment design for future LEO-PNT solutions
- receiver architectures for code and Doppler-based positioning with LEO signals
- AOA and AOD -based localization with LEO signals
- LEO satellite design for RF convergence (communications, sensing, and positioning)
