5G-EMERGE

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…

INN3SCO

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…

ANChOR

Objectives ANChOR objectives are focused on the design and implementation of an integrated infrastructure for 5G Satellite-Terrestrial networks, with data-driven orchestration techniques applied to the optimization of the multi-domain network. The project aims to investigate satellite-based extensions to 5G architectureand use cases, targeting eMBB and mMTC services, analyzing new business models and multi-domain deployments combining…

oneTcall

Objectives of the service The objective of the proposed service, enabled by the satellite TLC, is related to the voice communications in an isolated environment, as a remote area, a ship or an airplane. The service allows end users to continue using their smartphone with their mobile phone number without modifying their user experience in…

NB-IoT4Space

Objectives Preliminary analysis have shown that the NB-IoT standard can be used by satellite systems in non-geostationary orbits under certain constraints. However, to enable the integration of user sensors employing this technology, it is necessary to develop an on-board evolved node B (eNB) capable of using a standard not originally conceived for satellite communications with…

5G4Space

Objectives In the past three years, 5G was born. The principal arena where this effort has been worldwide coordinated is the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) that has recently standardized its release 15 containing the first phase of 5G, dubbed as New Radio (NR) by 3GPP. The first phase addressed mainly the so called eMBB…

VIBES

Objectives The high-level project objective was to provide a tailored architectural and technological solution for performance optimization of end-to-end IP-based services, when a satellite component is present in the communication path. Target scenarios are compliant to upcoming 5G use-cases. VIBeS project outcomes allow to review the role of Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) agents, redesigned as…

SHINE

Objectives SHINE is focused around the design and implementation of an end-to-end secure infrastructure for the delivery of multimedia content over integrated satellite-terrestrial networks. The overall security architecture of the SHINE project is comprised of two main building blocks: a satellite-enabled broadcast distribution backbone leveraging network and a MPEG-DASH/WebRTC-enabled edge distribution network. In-between such building…
