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.

  • NTN
  • 5G+ Core
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Inter-Satellite Link
  • SDN over satellite
  • Cybersecurity

This subproject aims to contribute to the deployment of heterogeneous satellite networks in the Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) architecture. Among the different technological challenges that still remain to be resolved in this area, the subproject addresses the following:

  1. A multi-device Inter Satellite link Device (ISL) system with enhanced communications protocols
  2. An AI-based inter-satellite link device
  3. Contributions to security mechanisms for Intersatellite Communications
