SatNEx III - TN 2.4 "Dissemination and Future R&D Lines"

This document is aimed at highlighting the possible open issues for future R&D lines when satellite networks are applied in the field of wireless sensors networks, based on the findings summarized in TNs 2.2 and 2.3 and starting from the architectural assumptions in T.2.1. In particular, the attention is devoted to selected scenarios, where the applicability of satellite technologies requires a careful analysis of technological & performance issues that may rise when so different technologies, i.e., sensors and satellites, are joined together. Last point is finally dedicated to the dissemination activity resulted from this study, thus showing and motivating the research activity in this field.
