VDL talk on ” Advanced Satellite Networking and IoT Applications ”

(Abstract: Future 5G/6G mobile communication systems are expected to integrate various radio access technologies, including the satellite component. 3GGP release 17 is now frozen and includes the satellite and aerial part under the name of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). In this framework, terrestrial services can be augmented with the development of novel satellite systems (namely, UHTS GEO and mega-LEO constellations) to meet the needs of service in those areas that terrestrial 5G systems cannot cover. A first part of this lecture will survey the most common satellite systems (operational or planned). Then, advanced satellite networking concepts will be considered like 3D architectures, gateway diversity, Internet-centric networking, QoS, network coding, and mobile edge computing. A second part of this talk will address satellite IoT. In particular, different architectures and sensor technologies (e.g., NB-IoT, LoRa, and SigFox) will be considered. These systems will also envisage drones/UAVs to receive IoT data via opportunistic connectivity with the sensors on the ground. Some applications for satellite IoT will also be reviewed for remote area monitoring, fire alarm detection, smart agriculture, animal tracking, and plant disease control, to name a few.)
