Summary This paper presents initial results available from the European Commission Horizon 2020 5G Public Private Partnership Phase 2 project “SaT5G” (Satellite and Terrestrial Network for 5G). After describing concept, objectives, challenges, research pillars addressed by SaT5G project, this elaborates on selected use cases scenarios satellite communications positioning in usage scenario of enhanced mobile broadband.
Satellite communication has recently been included as one of the key enabling technologies for 5G backhauling, especially delivery bandwidth-demanding enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) applications in 5G. In this paper, we present a 5G-oriented network architecture that is based on satellite communications and multi-access edge computing to support eMBB applications, which investigated EU 5GPPP phase-2 terrestrial project. We specifically focus using proposed assure quality-of-experience...
Summary There is an ever present demand for increasingly higher data rates in multi‐spot beam satellite networks. This can be enabled, by shifting carrier frequencies to bands, such as the Q/V‐band, where more bandwidth available. Furthermore, available has used efficiently possible, which requires efficient capacity enhancing techniques. The paper identifies and analyzes ground segment techniques ultra high throughput networks operating Q/V‐band feeder link Ka‐band user link. impact of...
Summary In this paper, we present a satellite‐integrated 5G testbed that was produced for the EU‐commissioned Satellite and Terrestrial Networks (SaT5G) project. We first describe testbed's 3GPP Rel. 15/6‐compliant mobile core radio access network (RAN) have been established at University of Surrey. then detail how satellite NTN UE gateway components were integrated into using virtualization software‐defined orchestration. The element provides backhaul, which in concert with...
This paper looks at the implications, benefits and opportunities for integrating satellite links into Future Internet specifically to provide resilient backhauls in 5G networks that will emerge. analysis is based on study performed under ESA ARTES 1 "Service delivery over integrated terrestrial networks", contract 4000106656/12/NL/US. considered integration of with 4G networks. extrapolates this providing backhaul links. It identifies a number operator user such shows modern can be readily...
The H2020 project SaT5G [10] [13] is researching and developing the capability to seamlessly integrate satellite communication (satcom) backhaul links into 5G support enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB).Four relevant use cases a set of KPIs have been identified.A variety different integration architectures are described.These factors then reviewed allow business modelling for new paradigms brought by 5G, role bandwidth broker has identified.
The use of satellite as backhaul in 5G networks is currently the most mature approach for satellite/5G integration, extending coverage to underserved areas, beyond reach terrestrial infrastructures. This paper presents an actual implementation and over-the-air tests a Stand-Alone network, where link used interconnect Core with RAN. Furthermore, local breakout adopted enable edge computing at edge; this achieved by virtualizing off-loading 5GC User Plane Function edge. performance each...
Broadband access systems use electricity generated by power plants of which a proportion burn fossil fuels and release carbon dioxide (CO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> ) into the atmosphere. In Europe, Code Conduct for Access Devices provides voluntary targets maximum in-use consumption range devices with view to making year-on-year reductions as technologies mature. Less is known about CO released atmosphere during...
Summary One of the key performance targets on European Commission's Digital Agenda is to provide at least 30‐Mbit/s broadband coverage all households by 2020. The deployment existing terrestrial technologies will not be able satisfy requirements in most difficult‐to‐serve locations, either due a lack areas where revenue potential for service providers too low or technological limitations that diminish available throughput rural environments. In this paper, we investigate hybrid system...
This paper presents a framework for business interoperability with specific focus on the performance indicators and SLA models between terrestrial satellite operators. It discusses relevant metrics currently used in networks as well correlation them concludes that new KPIs enablers service delivery over an integrated network are required. We further introduce criteria comparison key issues to consider what could be bad fit good terrestrial-satellite architecture. believe this guide will also...
