Non-Terrestrial Networks: Paving the Way Towards Global Connectivity, 1st Edition, offers a specialized technical resource on non-terrestrial wireless communication frameworks. The text addresses key concepts involved in connecting spaceborne, airborne, and ground nodes. It details how these integrated infrastructure elements function together to provide ubiquitous global connectivity.

The volume organizes its technical analysis around five primary themes: Architectures, Networking techniques, Physical Layer techniques, Emerging technologies, and Use cases for NTN. Through these divisions, the text evaluates core engineering principles behind Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wireless networking. Readers explore fundamental layer mechanisms and architectural configurations designed for multi-tier network topologies.

In addition, the book highlights current NTN standardization trends alongside practical techniques for performance enhancement in NTN Internet of Things (IoT) networks. This structured overview provides graduate students and academic researchers with clear reference material for non-terrestrial communications.
