CubeSats have attracted increased interest from the academic community in recent years due to their relative low cost and rapid development cycle. As is the case with all autonomous spacecraft, CubeSats rely on radio communications with ground stations to receive commands for performing scientific missions, and to transmit telemetry and measurement data back to Earth for processing. This paper discusses the radio link design for the Old Dominion University (ODU) CubeSat communication system that is scheduled to be launched in 2019 as part of the Virginia CubeSat Constellation (VCC) project. The presentation includes an overview of the system and the RF link budget analysis, along with salient design aspects including impedance matching for the CubeSat radio, a custom interface for the ground station radio, and an outline of the link layer protocol used.Mobile crowdsensing (MCS) has gained significant attention in recent years and has become an appealing paradigm for urban sensing. For data collection, MCS systems rely on contribution from mobile devices of a large number of participants or a crowd. Smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices are deployed widely and already equipped with a rich set of sensors, making them an excellent source of information. Mobility and intelligence of humans guarantee higher coverage and better context awareness if compared to traditional sensor networks. At the same time, individuals may be reluctant to share data for privacy concerns. For this reason, MCS frameworks are specifically designed to include incentive mechanisms and address privacy concerns. Despite the growing interest in the research community, MCS solutions need a deeper investigation and categorization on many aspects that span from sensing and communication to system management and data storage. In this paper, we take the research on MCS a step further by presenting a survey on existing works in the domain and propose a detailed taxonomy to shed light on the current landscape and classify applications, methodologies, and architectures. Our objective is not only to analyze and consolidate past research but also to outline potential future research directions and synergies with other research areas.
