Satellite Systems in the incoming 5G services: roles, expectations and challenges

Satellite Systems in the incoming 5G services: roles, expectations and challenges

The current shift toward the virtualization of network infrastructure
components enables a dynamic instantiation, deployment and
configuration of virtual network functions (VNFs), which can be
offered “as-a-service” to multiple tenants, thus enabling 5G
architectures. Simultaneously, the recent high throughput satellite
(HTS) systems can play an important role in the 5G era thanks to their
characteristics, such as their large coverage, fast deployment of the
ground infrastructure and native broadcast/multicast broadband
capabilities. Therefore,  the future satellite networks need a review
in order  to efficiently extend terrestrial, by designing innovative mechanisms for the distribution of real-time multimedia information across hybrid channels, leveraging both unicast and multicast communication paradigms., In this context, this talk provides a review of the satellite service delivery models in order to identify viable
alternatives to deploy converged satellite-terrestrial services.
