The expected result of 6GSatNet is the contribution over 6G for the deployment of satellite networks in the paradigm of non-terrestrial networks (NTN). To this end, the project leverages the construction of a 5G core compatible with non-terrestrial networks, as well as the development of new routing and access medium protocols.
This subproject seeks to address multiple challenges in the ground segment that must be addressed before deploying Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). Among them, the subproject has focused on three:
