This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7thInternational Conference on Wireless and Satellite Services, WiSATS 2015, heldin Bradford, UK, in July 2015. The conference was formerly known as theInternational Conference on Personal Satellite Services (PSATS) mainly coveringtopics in the satellite domain. As the scope of the conference widened toinclude wireless systems, the conference was renamed to WiSATS.The 29 revised papers were presented at theconference in three technical sessions and one special session on “Network Codingfor Satellites”. WiSATS 2015 also hosted two workshops along with the mainconference: The first workshop, Communication Applications in Smart Grid (CASG2015), focused on the merging area of using communication technology within theelectricity power grid for smart monitoring and control. The second workshop,Advanced Next-Generation Broadband Satellite Systems (BSS 2015), focused on theuse of satellite systems for providing next-generation broadbandservices.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Wireless and Satellite Services, WiSATS 2016, held in Cardiff, UK, in September 2016. The conference was formerly known as the International Conference on Personal Satellite Services (PSATS) mainly covering topics in the satellite domain. As the scope of the conference widened to include wireless systems, the conference was renamed WiSATS. The 22 revised papers were selected from 32 submissions and cover a broad range of related state-of-the-art topics in antennas and mobile terminals, symbol precoding and network coding schemes, energy efficient strategies in satellite communication and cloud radio access networks, smart grid communication and optimization, security issues in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) and delay tolerant net-works (DTN), interference mitigation in high throughput geostationary and non-geostationary satellite systems.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Wireless and Satellite Services, WiSATS 2017, held in Oxford, UK, in September 2017. The conference was formerly known as the International Conference on Personal Satellite Services (PSATS) mainly covering topics in the satellite domain.  The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners from around the world in the field of wireless and satellite systems. The theme of WiSATS 2017 was on the means of using the wireless and satellite services directly to the user for personal communications, multimedia and location identification.
