Abstract:
This presentation is discussing about current technology
used in communication and drawbacks of that and how
integration of satellite into 5G will fill those gaps in
current technology. Also discuss about some uses
cases, performance and future of satellite
communication.
Introduction:
5G is the next generation of communication technology that much

of the world is moving to. By supporting in which “anyone and
anything will be connected at anytime and anywhere”.
5G is expected to enable new applications in various domains,

including media and entertainment, health, automotive, transport
and industry.
The Evolution of 5G:
Scope for Social Relevance:
❏ This is era of internet.
❏ Using terrestrial network for providing homogeneous

connection across the world still challenging one.
❏ A single GEO (geostationary Earth orbit) satellite can

provide communication downlinks over wide areas, such
as entire countries or continents.
❏ Constellations of non-geostationary satellites can deliver

high‐capacity services to localized areas with low latency
that some applications require.
❏ Providing wide coverage to
complement and extend dense
terrestrial cells.
❏ Complementing connectivity for

mobile nodes (ships, airplanes,
vehicles, and trains).
❏ Offloading a temporarily congested network.

❏ Providing backhauling services to fixed or moving base
stations.
❏ Providing emergency response/disaster recovery

communications.
Existing Method:
4G with terrestrial networks.

Core networks(ex data
center) are connected to
edge networks(ex base
stations) using fiber cables.
From base stations to user, data is transmitted as RF signals.

This network consists of stationary connections.
Drawbacks of Existing Method:
❏ Unreliability
❏ More open to interference.
❏ Increased chance of jamming.
❏ Transmission speed is comparably less.
❏ Not suitable for moving base stations.
❏ Not efficient during disaster and bad
weather.
❏ Can’t serve some geographical areas.
Proposed Method:
Integration of 5G and Satellite networks
5G is giving the convergence of terrestrial and satellite-based

networks a major boost.
Two approaches to effectively integrating satellites into

cellular networks: backhaul or direct access.
Backhaul - using satellites to connect cellular base stations

on the ground.
Direct Access - direct connectivity between satellites and

5G-enabled user equipment (UE).
5G Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
➔ 1,000× capacity,
➔ 10 to 100× higher typical user data rate,
➔ better/increased/ubiquitous coverage,
➔ service creation in minutes and
➔ end‐to‐end (E2E) latency of <1 ms.
The 5G infrastructure will be an ecosystem of networked

networks.Many organizations recognize that satellite
networks will be an element of the 5G infrastructure.
Why Satellites?
Ubiquity: Satellite provides high‐speed capacity across the globe using

the following enablers: capacity in‐fill inside geographic gaps, overspill
to satellite when terrestrial links are over capacity, general global wide
coverage, back‐up/resilience for network fall‐back, and especially
communication during emergency.
Mobility: Satellite is the only readily available technology capable of

providing connectivity anywhere on the ground, in sea, or air for moving
platforms, such as airplanes, ships, and trains.
Broadcast (simultaneity): Satellite can efficiently deliver rich
multimedia and other content across multiple sites simultaneously by
using broadcast and multicast streams with information centric
networking and content caching for local distribution.
Security: Satellite networks can provide efficient solutions for secure,

highly reliable, rapid, and resilient deployment in challenging
communication scenarios, such as emergency response.
Not only can satellites provide ubiquitous, anytime coverage, but they
can provide cost‐effective coverage to many areas of the globe, which
might otherwise go unserved.
SaT5G Concept, Objectives And Research
Pillars:
SaT5G is a European Commission H2020 5G PPP Phase 2

project, kicked‐off in June 2017 with 30‐month duration, whose
vision is to develop cost effective “plug and play” SatCom
solutions for 5G to enable telecom operators and service
providers to accelerate 5G deployment in all geographies and at
the same time create new and growing market opportunities for
SatCom industry stakeholders.
SaT5G focuses primarily on backhaul via satellite.

Satellite Network Role In 5G:
The 6 Principal Sat5g Project Objectives Are To:
❖ leverage relevant ongoing 5G and satellite research activities to assess and define
solutions integrating satellite into the 5G network architecture;
❖ develop the commercial value propositions for satellite ‐based network solutions for
5G;
❖ define and develop key technical enablers for the identified research challenges;
❖ validate key technical enablers in a lab test environment;
❖ demonstrate selected features and use cases with in ‐orbit GEO and MEO HTS
satellites;
❖ contribute to the standardization at ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards
Institute) and 3GPP (Third‐Generation Partnership Project) of the features enabling
the integration of SatCom solutions in 5G.
The Technical Challenges:
❖ Virtualization of SatCom network functions to ensure compatibility
with the 5G SDN (software defined networking)/network function
virtualization architecture;
❖ Developing the enablers for an integrated 5G‐SatCom virtual and
physical resource orchestration and service management;
❖ Developing link aggregation scheme for small cell connectivity
mitigating quality of service and latency imbalance between satellite
and cellular access;
❖ Deveraging 5G features/technologies in SatCom;
❖ Optimizing/harmonizing key management and authentication
methods between cellular and satellite access technologies;
❖ Optimal integration of the multicast benefits in 5G services for both
content delivery and VNF (virtual network function) distribution.
Research Pillars:
To rise to these challenges, the SaT5G concept

comprises 6 research pillars (RPs) and 3 horizontals as
shown in Figure 3. The horizontals address global issues
cutting across the whole project while the RPs have been
selected to address the deeper research enablers
relating to the identified challenges and needed to flow
into prototypes to be used in the validations and
demonstrations.
Selected Satellite Use Cases :
By definition, a 5G use case is a particular case of how the 5G system

is used, whereas a satellite use case in 5G is a particular case of how the
SatCom system is integrated within the 5G ecosystem.
SaT5G Use Case 1:
Edge delivery and offload for multimedia content and MEC
VNF software.
Description:
Providing efficient multicast/broadcast delivery to network edges for
content such as live broadcasts, ad‐hoc broadcast/multicast
streams, group communications, and MEC VNF update distribution .
Correspondence to Satellite Use Case Category:

Backhauling and tower feed.
Scenarios For Use case 1:
❖ Offline multicasting and caching of video content and VNF

software through satellite links.
❖ Online prefetching of video segments through satellite links.
SaT5G Use Case 2:
5G fixed backhaul.
Description:
Broadband connectivity where it is difficult or not (yet) possible to
deploy terrestrial connections to towers, for example, maritime
services, coverage on lakes, islands, mountains, rural areas, isolated
areas, or other areas that are best or only covered by satellites; across
a wide geographic region.

airplanes or vessels.

Communications on the move.
❖ Updating content for on‐board systems and grouped media

request by the moving platform company.
❖ Broadband access for passengers and individual media requests.
❖ Business and technical data transfer for the moving platform
company.
Performance Comparison:
Terrain
Satellite communication is best suited for rough terrains, poorly connected areas and places
where it is difficult to lay wires.
On the other hand, fibers are suited for urban areas with good infrastructures, where it is
convenient to lay communication lines.
Bandwidth
Fiber optic promises extremely higher bandwidth with negligible electromagnetic
interference. Satellites have lesser bandwidth and are prone to interferences.
Data Rate and Delay

The data rates in fiber optics are high with minimal propagation delays.
Data rates in satellite communications are much lower. The large distance from the earth to
the satellites introduces inadvertent delays in transfer.
Broadcasting
Satellites are inherently designed for broadcasting. Messages sent by a satellite can be
received by thousands of ground stations simultaneously.
Broadcasting by fiber optic cables consumes a lot of bandwidth.
Mobility
Fiber optics is immobile by design and their usage is limited within fixed locations.
Satellite communication facilitates mobile communications.
Future Works:
Starlink(SpaceX's satellite internet project):

Starlink is a satellite internet constellation being
constructed by SpaceX providing satellite Internet
access. The constellation will consist of thousands of mass-produced
small satellites in low Earth orbit, which communicate with designated
ground transceivers
5G From Space(Nokia): In the near future, 5G signals

will beam down from space and support our ‘terrestrial’ 5G
infrastructure on Earth. The end result is a new space race for
satellites - promising to offer customers a seamless wireless experience across
the entire globe.
Literature Survey:

areas. This aspect is reflected by recent commercial and
5G Systems standardisation endeavours. In particular, 3GPP recently initiated a
Incorporating Satellites Study Item for New Radio-based, i.e., 5G.
( IEEE,Jan 2019)
