Description
This program explores modern satellite communications and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). It covers key principles, challenges, and technical limitations, including a look at different satellite orbits, as well as HAPS, HIBS, balloons, and drones.
The program then explores key use cases and their suitability for satellite and NTN. It surveys existing and emerging proprietary satellite systems and focuses on integrating 5G satellite systems into modern networks.
The program also covers different architectures, access technologies (5G New Radio, NB-IoT, and eMTC), and Direct-to-Device (D2D) services. Finally, it explores key challenges and their standardized (3GPP) solutions, such as doppler compensation, latency, and security.
