SaT5G - Satellite And Terrestrial network for 5G

Contributing to the 5GPPP use case “Broadband access everywhere”, SaT5G will foster the implementation of solutions enabling the “plug and play” integration of satellite communications in 5G networks

To this aim, SaT5G will research and validate the key technology enablers through validation and demonstration in live 5G testbeds

SaT5G impact is for the satellite industry to join the European initiative in the deployment of a competitive and ubiquitous 5G network globally

Backhaul via Transport Network

• Based on 3GPP system specifications: satellite transport network is built to meet 5G requirements

• Not based on 3GPP system specifications: satellite transport network is adapted to support 5G

requirements

Backhaul via Relay UE: Managed by the 5G core Relay UE is always visible by the 5G core and aggregates the traffic of several 5G UE via a 3GPP or non-3GPP access.

• 3GPP access: NR implemented over satellite

• Trusted non-3GPP access: Satellite not implementing NR and considered as trusted access

• Untrusted non-3GPP access: Satellite considered as untrusted

Multicast approaches to push content to the EDGE:

• 5G Multicast techniques within the 3GPP network: flows from a CDN

server go through the 5G network which uses the satellite to multicast

flows towards MECs using eMBMS.

• Multicast techniques out of the 3GPP network: flows from a CDN

server are directly multicasted towards MECs via satellite link.
