论文摘要

整合地面和非事物网络具有将未连接的并增强已经与之相关的用户体验以及最大长期意义的技术和社会含义的潜力。地面,空气和空间无线通信的融合也代表了移动和卫星通信行业的巨大努力,因为它需要定义并智能地编排新的3D无线网络体系结构。在本文中,我们通过介绍其一些破坏性用例和关键构件,审查相关的标准化活动并指出开放研究问题,从而介绍了这种(R)演变所带来的关键机会和挑战。通过考虑两个多手术范式,我们还展示了如何有效地重新设计陆地网络以迎合航空服务,或者通过非事物基础设施进行机会互补,以增强其当前功能。

Integrating terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks has the potential of connecting the unconnected and enhancing the user experience for the already-connected, with technological and societal implications of the greatest long-term significance. A convergence of ground, air, and space wireless communications also represents a formidable endeavor for the mobile and satellite communications industries alike, as it entails defining and intelligently orchestrating a new 3D wireless network architecture. In this article, we present the key opportunities and challenges arising from this (r)evolution by presenting some of its disruptive use-cases and key building blocks, reviewing the relevant standardization activities, and pointing to open research problems. By considering two multi-operator paradigms, we also showcase how terrestrial networks could be efficiently re-engineered to cater for aerial services, or opportunistically complemented by non-terrestrial infrastructure to augment their current capabilities.
