Architecture Options for Satellite Integration into 5G Networks

Experimental Performance Evaluation of TCP Over an Integrated Satellite-Terrestrial Network Environment

“…8 and 10) that improve performance and capacity utilisation. Hybla implementation achieved a higher transmission rate R H (t) of up to 100 Ksegs/sec (819200 Kbits/sec) and total data transmitted T H D (t) of over 300 Ksegs, all independent of the RT T values as in analytical expressions (8) and (9).…”

“…Therefore, the final objective of Hybla to achieve maximum data transmission rate (i.e achievable Throughput), independent of a long RTT of channels such as satellite is accomplished by looking at (8).…”

Use cases and scenarios of 5G integrated satellite‐terrestrial networks for enhanced mobile broadband: The SaT5G approach

“…To this end, note that the scenarios for the selected SaT5G use cases drive mainly the design of backhauling architectures where there is satellite connectivity between the 5G core network and the radio access network (RAN). The architecture design for the given scenarios corresponds to currently ongoing work within the SaT5G project, whose results will be reported in future publications (see eg, Tiomela Jou et al 26,27 ). As such, it is beyond the scope of this paper.…”

Time Series Irradiance Synthesizer for Optical GEO Satellite Downlinks in 5G Networks

“…Next generation networks such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) Advanced Pro, 5G are expected to have rigorous specifications concerning the connectivity so that every user globally can connect to high bandwidth mobile internet for accessing a variety of services including live video streaming, remote healthcare and tutorship, Internet of Things (IoT), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Device-to-Device (D2D) communications [1][2][3][4]. Satellite communications in the upcoming 5G networks are planned to alleviate multimedia data traffic congestion by providing edge delivery services, effectively establishing fixed 5G backhaul links between terrestrial nodes to infrastructures and to optimize the backhaul links for high mobility means of transport, such as trains, airplanes and ships, by heavily improving the handover and user experience [1][2][3][4]. Future 5G satellite backhaul links operating along with terrestrial networks will ensure provision of broadband and highly reliable connectivity, full coverage as well as minimal delay by offering efficient data caching capabilities as proposed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards [3,4].…”
