Employment of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the healthcare field can contribute to recruiting heterogeneous medical devices and creating smart cooperation between them. This cooperation leads to an increase in the efficiency of the entire medical system, thus accelerating the diagnosis and curing of patients, in general, and rescuing critical cases in particular. In this paper, a large-scale IoT-enabled healthcare architecture is proposed. To achieve a wide range of communication between healthcare devices, not only are Internet coverage tools utilized but also satellites and high-altitude platforms (HAPs). In addition, the clustering idea is applied in the proposed architecture to facilitate its management. Moreover, healthcare data are prioritized into several levels of importance. Finally, NS3 is used to measure the performance of the proposed IoT-enabled healthcare architecture. The performance metrics are delay, energy consumption, packet loss, coverage tool usage, throughput, percentage of served users, and percentage of each exchanged data type. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed IoT-enabled healthcare architecture outperforms the traditional healthcare architecture.

“…B. Next 20 Years: On the Use of HAPS in the Next-Next-Generation Networks 1) Integration with Satellite Network: Vertical integration of HAPS system with the satellite networks, known also as multilevel satellite/HAPS architecture [259], [260], seems attractive and is deemed imperative to attain super connectivity. Such a reliance on the satellite communications is actually well-coming observing that many projects, e.g., SpaceX's Starlink, OneWeb, Amazon's Project Kuiper, Telesat, are geared toward providing worldwide 5G/6G coverage via satellite mega-constellations.…”

A High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) is a network node that operates in the stratosphere at an altitude around 20 km and is instrumental for providing communication services. Triggered by the technological innovations in the areas of autonomous avionics, array antennas, solar panel efficiency levels and the battery energy density, and fueled by the flourishing industry ecosystems, the HAPS exerts itself as an indispensable component of the next generations of wireless networks. In this article, we provide a vision and framework for the HAPS networks of the future supported by a comprehensive and state-of-the-art literature survey. We highlight the undiscovered potential of HAPS systems, and elaborate on their unique ability to serve metropolitan areas. The latest advancements and promising technologies in the HAPS energy and payload systems are discussed. The integration of the emerging Reconfigurable Smart Surface (RSS) technology in the communications payload of HAPS systems for providing a cost-effective deployment is proposed. A detailed overview of the radio resource management in HAPS systems is presented along with synergistic physical layer techniques, including Faster-Than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling. Numerous aspects of handoff management in HAPS systems are delineated. The notable contribution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in HAPS, including machine learning in the design, topology management, handoff, and resource allocation aspects are emphasized. The provided extensive overview of the literature is crucial for substantiating our vision that that depicts the expected deployment opportunities and challenges in the next 10 years (next-generation networks), as well as in the subsequent 10 years (next-next-generation networks).

“…Other notable scenarios include the Internet of Underground Things (IoUT) [9], the Internet of Cultural Things (IoCT) [10,11], the Internet of Arctic Things (IoAT) [12,13] and security and military affairs (the Internet of Battle Things, IoBT) [14,15]. In general, the organization of ubiquitous internet access using backhaul space communications is discussed in a wide range of research papers [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31].…”

“…As a result, plenty of algorithmic issues are still being researched, with authors presenting new methods of channel access [27,28,29], modulation techniques [2,25], routing mechanisms [17,23,29], load balancing [23,29], data transfer algorithms and protocols [6,20,26,28] and methods of increasing network throughput [19,31], as well as schemes of reducing power consumption of the network infrastructure [19] and lowering the cost of message transmission [23]. In addition, new architectures [12,21,22,30,31] of heterogeneous IoT-satellite networks, including the ones based on long range (LoRa) [18,25,32] and Iridium [3,13,15,17,33] have been proposed.…”

In the absence of traditional communication infrastructures, the choice of available technologies for building data collection and control systems in remote areas is very limited. This paper reviews and analyzes protocols and technologies for transferring Internet of Things (IoT) data and presents an architecture for a hybrid IoT-satellite network, which includes a long range (LoRa) low power wide area network (LPWAN) terrestrial network for data collection and an Iridium satellite system for backhaul connectivity. Simulation modelling, together with a specialized experimental stand, allowed us to study the applicability of different methods of information presentation for the case of transmitting IoT data over low-speed satellite communication channels. We proposed a data encoding and packaging scheme called GDEP (Gateway Data Encoding and Packaging). It is based on the combination of data format conversion at the connection points of a heterogeneous network and message packaging. GDEP enabled the reduction of the number of utilized Short Burst Data (SBD) containers and the overall transmitted data size by almost five times.
