Overview
As the research community has recently embarked on the 6G as an enabler for achieving higher data rates and better quality of service, an important new feature is resilient and ubiquitous network access in use-cases that are currently not provided by 5G. First, access on-demand: ships in the ocean, expeditions in harsh environments, and festivals in the field require network access only during the concerned activities.
Second, emergency communications: the network resilience is seriously threatened by unexpected incidents. In these cases, fast-deployable solutions are crucial for providing emergency coverage. Finally, traffic off-loading: the network is only designed to accommodate standard traffic.
However, the traffic fluctuates with time and location, and it may exceed the designed capacity. Therefore, flexible off-loading is required to provide a temporary bandwidth support. Non-Terrestrial systems provide a promising solution to these use-cases. Learn everything with this Leveraging Non-Terrestrial Platforms (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) .
