In terrestrial 5G networks, the concept of Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) is nowadays being standardised and initial deployments of IAB are being experimented with. IAB will support very flexible network deployments by allowing radio access network (RAN) nodes (gNB’s) to function as a relay to other network nodes, in addition to acting as regular access node for user equipment. The application of IAB could potentially support future heterogeneous “3D” networks that consist of satellite, terrestrial, airborne and maritime nodes and still need standard mechanisms for resource management, service management and orchestration of the many links within such topologies.
This project provides an opportunity for European satellite operators and service providers to combine forces and develop a set of common standardized interfaces they can all work with as their emerging Pooling and Sharing systems (PSS) evolve, allowing the interoperability between individual systems and other operators to join the ecosystem in order to build a more appealing open solution.
