New
advances in 5G standards are creating opportunities to integrate
non-terrestrial networks (NTN) into a interoperable,
standardized wireless experience across the entire globe.
According to the white paper, 5G use cases for non-terrestrial
networks can include, but are not limited to connectivity
options for enhanced mobile broadband that includes fixed and
mobile cell, as well as multi-connectivity and wide and local
area IoT and public safety applications. Additional uses include
improved network resilience, edge network and mobile cell hybrid
connectivity for enhanced mobile broadband – as well as “Direct
to Node” broadcast.
“5G and Non-Terrestrial Networks” covers satellite-based
communication in detail that can potentially play an important
role in leveraging communication infrastructure to deliver 5G
services in the future and bridge the digital divide. Topics in
this white paper include:
Industry Overview and insight into how
satellite-based architecture leverages Geostationary
Earth Orbit (GEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Low
Earth Orbit (LEO) systems which can collectively provide
coverage across altitudes ranging from 36,000 km to 400
km.
Different potential use cases for NTN in a 5G
ecosystem
Standards evolution for NTN
Satellite-based NTN architectures
RAN
Impact covering core network impact, security in
NTN, end-to-end quality of service aspects and positing
in NTN
Deployment options with non-terrestrial networks
over satellites
Network service continuity
The white paper
also explains how 5G standards increasingly can make NTN and
satellite segments part of the 5G ecosystem and connectivity
infrastructure. The white paper examines additional factors like
different spectrum frequencies used by satellites, different
operating modes that allow for co-existence, roaming and data
sharing, and how moving and fixed-beam systems impact 5G
networks.
