The huge growth of the request by the market for performing telecommunication in view new and challenging services is pushing the acceleration in the space technology improvement. The demand for high speed, low latency and globally available broadband connectivity has increased dramatically.
Nowadays, terrestrial networks alone may not be able to provide access to a reliable and ubiquitous connectivity service and to reach remote areas due to irregular or insufficient coverage.
These scenarios necessitate the integration of satellite communication infrastructure to seamlessly complement terrestrial ones with low latency and high throughput data exchange, ensuring global coverage.
VLEO Satellite Communication (SatCom) constellations can ensure high QoS for distinct users bringing several challenges both at system and technological level.
The key challenge of HANDING-OVER project are as in following:
o design the handover, data routing and Radio Resource Management (RRM) techniques for a broadband satellite constellation in VLEO, to improve European knowledge and competitiveness To implement and test all the above techniques in a software system testbed in order to evaluate if their performances meet the expected ones;
To develop a key “enabling system” (SW testbed) for the design and validation of future communication systems based on VLEO/LEO satellite constellation.
HANDING-OVER proposes European solution stimulating and improving the satellite network system in the space. This will improve connectivity of the users worldwide connecting space to terrestrial networks in unique, seamless and transparent global network access.
