LEO Small-Satellite Constellations in Post-5G Connectivity
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) small-satellite constellations will play an increasing role in supporting various connectivity types set for 5G and beyond-5G wireless systems. As a starting point, the requirements for the three connectivity types associated with 5G (eMBB, mMTC and URLLC) need to be generalized by considering the physical context of satellite communications. This talk will cover the following aspects: 1) description of the small satellite impairments and the main characteristics of LEO constellations, and their role in 5G and post-5G connectivity; 2) a taxonomy for the physical/logical link types, with a special emphasis on Inter-Satellite Links (ISL); and 3) a systematic review of the relevant technologies to support different connectivity types through satellite constellations.
