Non-terrestrial Networks (NTNs) have become an appealing concept over the last few years and they are foreseen as a cornerstone for the next generations of mobile communication systems. Despite opening up new market opportunities and use…

The quest for ubiquitous mobile coverage has catalyzed two fundamentally distinct architectural paradigms: Direct-to-Cell (D2C) and standardized 3GPP Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). D2C, pioneered by SpaceX Starlink and AST SpaceMobile,…

Evolving 5G New Radio (NR) to support non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), particularly satellite communication networks, is under exploration in 3GPP. The movement of the spaceborne platforms in NTNs may result in large timing varying Doppler…

To achieve global coverage and ubiquitous connectivity, the non-terrestrial network (NTN) has been regarded as a key enabler in the sixth generation (6G) network, which includes uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), high-altitude platforms…

5G New Radio (NR) promises to support diverse services such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC), and massive machine-type communication (mMTC). This requires spectrum, most of which is…

A non-terrestrial network (NTN), a term coined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), refers to a network utilizing airborne or spaceborne payload for communication. The use of NTN has the potential of facilitating providing…

The recent and upcoming releases of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project's 5G New Radio specifications include features that are motivated by providing connectivity services to a broad set of verticals, including the automotive, rail, and…

Non-terrestrial network (NTN) communication has garnered considerable attention from government entities, industries, and academia in recent times. NTN networks encompass a variety of systems, including Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites,…

Next-generation wireless networks require massive connectivity and ubiquitous coverage, for which non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are a promising enabler. However, NTNs, especially non-geostationary satellites bring about challenges such as…

While 5G delivers high quality services mostly in a two dimensional terrestrial area covering our planet's surface, with 6G we aim at a full exploitation of three dimensions. In this way, 6G includes all kinds of non-terrestrial networks.…

While 5G networks are being rolled out, the definition of the potential 5G-Advanced features and the identification of disruptive technologies for 6G systems are being addressed by the scientific and academic communities to tackle the…

Researchers are currently speculating about what the role of beyond fifth-generation (B5G) or sixth generation (6G) wireless systems will be. Several use cases and applications are proposed, ranging from enhanced mobile broadband…

Since 5G new radio comes with non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) versions in 3GPP, research on 6G has been on schedule by academics and industries. Though 6G is supposed to have much higher capabilities than 5G, yet there is no clear…
