Objectives 5G-HOSTS-SAT focuses on experimental validation of various vertical services in 5G environments enhanced with satellite technologies. The final aim is to identify business drivers, technical challenges and practical solutions to foster and facilitate the creation of new applications in sectors that particularly benefit from the integration of satellite in 5G networks. This is achieved…
Objectives OpenSatRange is an open cyber range for cyber security training of satellite system and network operators. The project aims to develop a cyber range offering an environment in which a customizable space system can be reproduced to support training courses in cyber security. The OpenSatRange (OSR) platform will be designed to integrate an…
Objectives The objective of the SATIABLE project is to study the impact of the satellite (GEO, MEO, and LEO), and in general NTNs, in an IAB scenario, envisaging a new topology in which the satellite can be integrated as an IAB-node or an IAB-donor. The study considers the low-level protocols of the 3GPP-NR stack for…
Objectives Softwarization and virtualization are recent network technologies expected to be more and more adopted in next-generation networks and already intensively used in current terrestrial infrastructures, from cloud environments to mobile networks. They operate in synergy by decoupling network functionalities from the underlying hardware. When used together, they allow the creation of software instances of…
Objectives The goal of the QUICoS project is to study, define, implement, and evaluate, in a satellite-based network testbed, possible enhancements in congestion control, flow control and retransmission mechanisms to be included within the UDP-based QUIC protocol, which is the basement of HTTP/3. These enhancements are driven by the most recent versions of TCP which…
Objectives 5G-EMERGE is a digital transformation project, converging satellite services with online delivery, making use of the 3GPP 5G specification as convergence technology. The project envisages an open multi-tenant ecosystem that seamlessly integrates Near Edges well connected to Satellite Teleport with distributed Far Edges through a virtualised satellite connection to 5G- base stations. This solution…
Challenge Connectivity on-board of Ferry Vessels has always been a challenge, mainly due to the satellite bandwidth bottleneck, causing limited and expensive IT and telecom services. Recent technologies like High Throughput Satellites and 5G allow to use in a more efficient way the available resources, enabling new classes of services and more affordable communications, for…
Objectives The main INN3SCO objective is to develop, validate and demonstrate the integration of non-3GPP satellite networks with 5G Core Networks (CN). The current 5G specifications (release 15 and 16) allow accessing to a 5G CN via non-3GPP networks with specific Network Functions (NFs): N3IWF (Non-3GPP Inter-Working Function), TNGF (Trusted Non-3GPP Gateway Function), TWIF (Trusted…
