Lunar missions pose unique challenges, such as signal propagation in the lunar environment, terrain elevation, and rover movement constraints. To address these challenges, we propose a hybrid communication and navigation system that leverages UWB technology for high-precision positioning and MB-OFDM for robust and high-throughput communication. We develop a realistic simulation framework that incorporates terrain elevation, obstacles, and rover movement constraints, along with a simple fading model for communication. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in navigating lunar rovers to their target locations while maintaining reliable communication links with a lunar lander. A novel approach based on game theory for rover navigation is also presented. The study provides valuable insights into the design and optimization of communication and navigation systems for future lunar missions, paving the way for seamless integration of advanced terrestrial technologies in extraterrestrial environments. 000145282 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIN/AEI/PID2021-122580NB-I00 000145282 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000145282 590__ $$a2.3$$b2023 000145282 591__ $$aMATHEMATICS$$b21 / 489 = 0.043$$c2023$$dQ1$$eT1 000145282 592__ $$a0.475$$b2023 000145282 593__ $$aEngineering (miscellaneous)$$c2023$$dQ2 000145282 593__ $$aMathematics (miscellaneous)$$c2023$$dQ2 000145282 593__ $$aComputer Science (miscellaneous)$$c2023$$dQ2 000145282 594__ $$a4.0$$b2023 000145282 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000145282 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-5844-7871$$aZarzà y Cubero, I. de 000145282 700__ $$aCalafate, Carlos T. 000145282 773__ $$g11, 18 (2023), 3835 [19 pp.]$$pMathematics (Basel)$$tMathematics$$x2227-7390 000145282 8564_ $$s1938757$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/145282/files/texto_completo.pdf$$yVersión publicada 000145282 8564_ $$s2502576$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/145282/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yVersión publicada 000145282 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:145282$$particulos$$pdriver 000145282 951__ $$a2024-10-15-10:51:34 000145282 980__ $$aARTICLE
