Dear Colleagues,
Our next telco meeting (December 18, 2024 at 18:00 CET) will be a webinar open to the widest participation. You can join via the normal telco meeting link (you do not need to register). If possible, share the link below with colleagues and students so they can register and attend (they can thus receive the telco link invitations).
The webinar details are as follows:
Webinar Title: "New Perspectives for the Integration of Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks for 6G Systems"
- INGR Satellite WG introduction
- 1st talk: "Management and Control Techniques for Energy Saving in Integrated Non-Terrestrial/Terrestrial Networks"
by Franco Davoli (CNIT-University of Genoa, Italy), Hesham Elbakoury (Consultant, USA)
Abstract: In the evolutionary path beyond 5G toward 6G, network energy efficiency is being recognized as a fundamental indicator, along with those regarding system performance. 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.
- 2nd talk: "Evolving Non-Terrestrial Networks from 5G to 6G"
by Alessandro Guidotti (CNIT-University of Bologna, Italy)
Abstract: 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.
Please attend this meeting.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Giovanni
