This book constitutes selected papers of the Second International Conference on Advanced Communication Systems and Information Security, ACOSIS 2019, held in Marrakesh, Morocco, in November 2019. The 10 full papers and 10 short papers were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 94 submissions. The papers are organized accroding to the following topical sections: wireless communications and services; vehicular communications; channel coding; construction of error correcting codes; intrusion detection techniques; wireless and mobile network security; applied cryptography.

Advances in Communication Systems: Theory and Applications, Volume 2 focuses on laser transmission, stochastic approximation, optical techniques, adaptive compression, and synchronous satellite and manned space-flight communication systems. The selection first offers information on a study of multiple scattering of optical radiation with applications to laser communication and a recursive method for solving regression problems. Discussions focus on the mathematical model of the optical communication system; numerical characterization of transmission channel; computational aspects of the equation of radiative transfer; and applications to communications problems. The text then examines the optical techniques in communication systems, as well as optics fundamentals and applications to communications. The manuscript takes a look at synchronous satellite communication systems and the theory of adaptive data compression. Topics include system compression ratio, open-loop mean square error, synchronous satellites, anticipated developments in synchronous satellite technology, and closed-loop mean square error. The text also elaborates on manned spaceflight communications systems and the orbiting geophysical observatory communication system. The text is a valuable reference for researchers interested in laser transmission, synchronous satellite and manned space-flight communication systems, and adaptive compression.
