Descripción

Non-Terrestrial Networks: Paving the Way Towards Global Connectivity presents technologies that are important for NTNs - from LEO satellite communication, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)/flying platforms assisted wireless networking, the use of machine learning, edge computing, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, multiple access, wireless backhaul/fronthaul, integrated access and backhaul, integrated sensing and communications, and high frequency channel modeling such as terahertz, sub-terahertz, and millimeter wave. These technologies are essential in providing a paradigm shift from current wireless standards and will usher in the development of exciting new vertical frameworks.

This book gives students and researchers in academia an understanding of the fundamentals, technologies, systems and techniques for the next generation NTNS. In addition, it gives industry engineers insights into interdisciplinary findings on many open issues and trends in NTN standardization.

Puntos claves

  • Presents how different systems and techniques can be employed for the next generation NTNs to fulfill the vision and objectives of the latest trends of standardization on NTN internet-of-things (IoT) performance enhancement
  • Gives a structured and integrated presentation along 5 key themes: Architectures for NTN, Networking techniques for NTNs, Physical Layer techniques for NTN, Emerging technologies for NTN, Use cases for NTN, including public safety
  • Presents methods and algorithms useful for the deployment of NTNs
  • Outlines future directions for research
