Project description
5G technology for European governmental satellite services
The rise of 5G non-terrestrial networks (5G-NTN), particularly satellite networks, is poised to handle a multitude of applications and serve numerous users. To ensure the efficient deployment of European governmental satellite services, there is a need for the end-to-end adaptation of 5G-NTN to meet EU-GOVSATCOM requirements. In this context, the EU-funded 5G-GOVSATCOM project aims to develop and test critical enabling technologies in real-world user environments. The overarching objective is to seamlessly integrate 5G-NTN into the EU-GOVSATCOM framework. Specifically, 5G-GOVSATCOM will focus on adapting radio access procedures for mobile terminals within the exclusive governmental X-band, facilitating seamless handover between terrestrial networks and NTN through a smart gateway. The project will validate its outcomes through experimental testing, with a particular focus on ubiquitous telemedicine in maritime areas.
Objective
5G non-terrestrial networks (5G-NTN) satellite networks will soon be able to handle all types of applications and provide service to a massive number of users. In this complex and dynamic network ecosystem, and end-to-end adaptation of 5G-NTN towards the EU-GOVSATCOM services, requirements and use cases is of capital importance to efficiently deploy European governmental satellite services. To enable such a vision, 5G-GOVSATCOM targets the development and evaluation in a natural user environment of different key enabling technologies that aim to provide full integration of 5G-NTN in the EU-GOVSATCOM framework. In the radio technologies domain, 5G-GOVSATCOM targets the development of necessary adaptions and enhancements of radio access procedures to attend to geostationary mobile terminals in the exclusive governmental X-band. Furthermore, the integration of 5G-NTN user equipment with an antenna operationally focused on on-the-move and on-the-pause scenarios are planned. In parallel, in the inter-networking segments, 5G-GOVSATCOM aims to provide a seamless handover between terrestrial networks and NTN via a smart gateway while enhancing core-network functionalities. Finally, all project developments are planned to be first validated in a controlled lab with satellite connectivity and, posteriorly, experimentally tested in close collaboration with final users. These latter tests will constitute the first 5G-NTN trials with final users devoted to i) ubiquitous telemedicine in maritime areas and ii) crisis management connectivity bubble.
