The impact of this aspect extends to both wired and wireless networks and, among the latter, to Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) as well, and implies a reconsideration of management and control techniques to include the trade-off between energy and performance KPIs. This talk will touch upon some topics relevant to NTN/TN integration in this respect: conveying energy consumption information and adjustment capabilities; energy/performance tradeoff over multiple time scales; role of virtualization; multiple orchestration levels; exploiting O-RAN functional splitting in NTN edge extension; role of AI/ML.<br></i><br>- <b>2nd talk: "Evolving Non-Terrestrial Networks from 5G to 6G"</b><br>by Alessandro Guidotti (CNIT-University of Bologna, Italy)<br>Abstract: <i>The integration of a Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) component in the global telecommunications infrastructure is now a reality, thanks to 3GPP Rel. 17. This opened the door for the seamless integration of air-/space-borne network elements in the 5G system, achieving ubiquitous and continuous connectivity. In this framework, it is globally recognized that a further step is required for 6G communications; these will encompass a native NTN component in a terrestrial/non-terrestrial jointly optimized infrastructure yielding unprecedented benefits in Industry, Society, and Economy. This presentation aims at providing an overview of the evolution of NTN within 3GPP 5G-Advanced/6G.</i><br></font></div><div><font color="#0000ff"><i><br></i></font></div><div>For more details on the speakers, please take a look at the webinar registration page: <span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><a href="https://bit.ly/FN-SAT-18Dec2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://bit.ly/FN-SAT-18Dec2024</a></span></div><div><br></div><div>Please attend this meeting.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div>Giovanni</div><div><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><pre cols="72">-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
