Descripción del proyecto
Integración perfecta de redes no terrestres en redes inalámbricas 6G
El sistema 6G incorporará de forma nativa un componente de red no terrestre (NTN, por sus siglas en inglés) que complementará a la red terrestre (TN, por sus siglas en inglés) para hacer frente a los retos sociales, económicos y ambientales. Se espera que la NTN 6G proporcione conectividad a los equipos de usuario para consumidores y sectores verticales, especialmente en zonas sin servicio o con servicio insuficiente, lo que ofrecerá un mayor rendimiento en términos de ancho de banda, latencia, fiabilidad, cobertura y densidad de conectividad. El equipo del proyecto 6G-NTN, financiado con fondos europeos, diseñará y validará habilitadores técnicos clave para la integración de componentes de NTN y TN en la 6G mediante la investigación de infraestructuras de red multidimensionales, protocolos de radio multimisión, redes de acceso radioeléctrico con múltiples restricciones y terminales multiusuario. El comité consultivo de 6G-NTN, formado por representantes de grupos de usuarios verticales, aportará casos de uso y requisitos de los usuarios. El trabajo del proyecto garantizará un sistema de TN y NTN 6G totalmente integrado.
Objetivo
The 6G-NTN project aims at researching and developing innovative technical, business, regulatory, and standardization enablers to achieve full and seamless integration of the Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) component into the 6G system and establish the European leadership in this domain. The vision is to extend coverage, resilience, and sustainability of next generation mobile networks, meeting needs and expectations of both vertical and consumer market segments, while unleashing new value chains and creating broad societal impact.
The proposed concept of full-fledged integration of the NTN component into 6G leverages multiple key project outcomes that will pave the way for a service roll-out in the 2030-35 time frame:
- a sustainable and resilient 3D multi-layered (GSO, NGSO, HAPS, drones) network architecture.
- a software defined payload adapted to all flying platforms and all frequency bands
- a very low Earth orbiting space segment
- a flexible waveform supporting terrestrial and non-terrestrial deployments.
- the support of smart phones and vehicle/drone mounted terminals
- the use of new spectrum (i.e. C and Q/V bands) in coexistence with the terrestrial network component
- high accuracy and reliable positioning solutions.
The newly designed NTN component will deliver: i.e. uRLLC (latency < 10 ms) and advanced eMBB (data rate up to several hundred of Mbps) services to vehicle, drone mounted ultra-small size devices, and battery activated nomadic terminals; ii. improved eMBB services to smartphones; iii. short emergency messaging services to smartphones in light indoor/in-vehicle environments; and iv. high accuracy (<10 cm) and reliable location service to both devices categories.
By pulling together leading players across all involved industrial, research and innovation areas, the 6G-NTN ambition is to become the flagship R&I project to define the 6G NTN component and to drive its standardization in 3GPP.
