backhaul applications and service providers
Virtual ground network to differed services providers the
same ground infrastructure.
End to End QoS between 5GC and satellite networks using
multiple virtual NF
End to End network slicing that include the ground and space segment
offering Virtual Satellite Network to different service providers sharing the
common infrastructure.

Roadmap (2/6)
SaT5G - Satellite And Terrestrial network for 5G
Technology Short-Term Mid-Term Long-Term
Connectivity. In the context of this project, connectivity for
multi-linking and heterogeneous transport is the parallel configuration of at least one satellite link and one other
link that is either satellite or terrestrial. Service slices would be established over these links
that are co-ordinated by network management
functions.
Satellite and terrestrial slices managed by common orchestrator
Multiple satellite paths in different orbits
VNFs on-board satellites
MPTCP has been demonstrated over multi-links including GEO satellite in this
and other projects
MPTCP is mature and can be applied to satellite where necessary. Proxies can be deployed in soft satellite payloads to optimised cost, throughput and resilience.
Application layer multi-linking is developed and
demonstrated in the lab in this project, with MPQUIC. This has
throughput benefits over MPTCP but has increased
complexity
Work-arounds / solutions for congestion management, UDP and
firewalls, and encryption.
MPQUIC over satellite capable of trials
MPQUIC over satellite capable of commercial use
Multi-link and Heterogeneous Transport

Roadmap (4/6)
SaT5G - Satellite And Terrestrial network for 5G
Technology Short-Term Mid-Term Long-Term
Modifying security timers to allow for satellite latency
SaT5G confirmed that no action was needed, as latency only became an issue when there was significantly higher packet errors requiring retransmissions than seen in operational
satellite links
Use and implementation of a TNGF to enable trusted relationships between 5GC and non-3GPP
satellite network (*)
Research and development of TNGF integrated into satcom systems in lab and over suitable test capacity leading
to product availability
Use of TLS rather than IPSec possibly by the integration between satellite and 5G core network
limited to parts made visible using mcTLS. We assess it as candidate solution for a replacement of IPSec thanks
to its support of (PEP) middle boxes in trusted environments. mcTLS would be implemented at the
Security GW (behind the Satellite GW) and at the remote gNB. (*)
Research and tests needed to understand the implications of this approach
If feasible then develop and testing leading to product and implementation
Extension of security and trust into MANO and business plane (*)
MANO: Ongoing developments should be able to address this
Business plane: Likely to be more ad hoc and relationship driven at least early on. The concept of broker may have a role here.
Interactions between 5G security mechanisms, DRM and satellite enabled multicast content
distribution (*)
Investigate the technical, operational and commercial issues and drivers
Identify technical solutions, research, develop and test likely
Standardise and productise if appropriate
Extending 5G Security to Satellite
16
Roadmap (5/6)
(*) Technology opportunity identified but not developed within the SaT5G project
SaT5G - Satellite And Terrestrial network for 5G
Technology Short-Term Mid-Term Long-Term
Support access to Live content and usage of online progressive prefetching
of DASH and HLS video segments through cache nodes located at the intelligent mobile edge and fed via
Satellite links, for achieving high user QoE
Develop to increase scalability and reliability towards carrier grade.
Caching VNF placement, inter-cache mobility management.
Semi-autonomous deployment of caches and related CN nodes (VNFs) at the network edge. Satellite links co-ordinated with common MANO.
Adapt towards multiple links, both satellite and terrestrial. Server-controlled ABR streaming with feedback loop from mobile network (load and radio conditions).
Autonomous deployment of VNFs at network edge with satellite / terrestrial links fully integrated
AI and ML applied at cache node to congestion prediction for Server-controlled ABR streaming.
AI and ML will determine the special and temporal location of VNF caches and CN components within networks, including on software defined satellite payloads on MEO / LEO.
Provide a design to offline preloading content objects (e.g. VoD
contents) that are predicted to be popular through satellite links to be
multicast to the mobile edge and cache them for future localised content
access
Semi-autonomous deployment of caches and related CN nodes (VNFs) at the network edge. Satellite links co-ordinated with common MANO
Autonomous deployment of VNFs at network edge with satellite / terrestrial links fully integrated

SaT5G Standardisation Achievements
SaT5G - Satellite And Terrestrial network for 5G
At 3GPP SA, RAN Plenaries #80 (11-15 June 2018, La Jolla, CA, USA), >60 3GPP member
organisations, from both SatCom and non-SatCom industries, supported the proposed study/work items
on the integration of SatCom into 5G during Rel-16
During the 3GPP Rel-16, the satellite/NTN topic was prioritized among the candidate study items (pre
standardisation phase) to be executed. This was made possible thanks to the support of 55 organisations
(incl. EBU and BBC)
Thanks to the strong involvement of respectively ~25 and ~10 organisations (most from cellular industry)
in 3GPP RAN and SA on NTN and satellite studies during the Rel-16 studies, the satellite/NTN work items
(normative phase) have been promoted by significant number of organisations in both TSG RAN & SA
and resulted into the selection of the topics for Rel-17 as per decisions of RAN#86 and SA#86
ETSI TR 103 611 (ETSI SCN TC-SES Work Item: DTR/SES-00405) has been reviewed by >10
organisations (incl. HNS, Inmarsat, ESA, CNES)
Deliverable D6.2 “Standardisation Action Plan” was promoted towards the SatCom industry and largely

SaT5G - Satellite And Terrestrial network for 5G
RP1 Reviewers Comments related to WP6 WP6 Action in RP2• The project has contributed significantly during the period to the acceptance of satellite communications as
a “normal” element of the future 5G network architecture via a considerable commitment of the project members to Standardisation activities in various Standardisation bodies.
• The projects has dedicated a large number of resources to standardisation efforts – which is justified, taking into account current standardisation cycles in 3GPP.
• Assuming there is agreement that 3GPP is the driving force in prioritising the topics for standardisation, it is advised that an analysis is provided which lists the topics that 3GPP community has prioritised (e.g. broadcast/multicast) and how this related to the topics addressed by this project.
• All the original objectives are still very relevant. Perhaps a statement can be added regarding the priorities that have been set by external parties (i.e. 3GPP) and explain the possible impact of this prioritisation.
• Cooperation with stakeholders outside the project should be pursued and made visible in public and/or confidential deliverables.
• The work carried out has had a considerable impact in the area of 5G standardisation: this is demonstrated by the fact that upcoming releases of 3GPP (R17 and further) will incorporate a non-terrestrial component. This can be considered a world’s first.
• Dissemination vs. standardisationactivities were balanced
• Standardisation activities were relatively decreased
• Recommendations incorporated in Deliverable D6.3
• The achievements of the project are not clearly visible from SAT5G website. • With regards to dissemination and availability of public deliverables, the reviewers find that this needs to be
improved. The European research community will need to know which testbeds are planned and which tools will be implemented to build upon these results.
• The website also would require additional actions to advertise incisively the achievements of the project.• Improve availability of public deliverables on the SAT5G website.• Beside the Standardisation activities, also dissemination activities such as publications in high impact
related journals should be pursued with determination• The website should be populated with details about the project, news, and above all open source software,
measurements and sharable data.• There is limited dissemination of the results. For example, this is not attained for conference and journal
publications because some papers were rejected. However, the consortium could foresee that in the first phase of the project the scientific publications could be lower than expected due to a ramp up time to obtain relevant results. In this phase the consortium was mainly concentrated in attaining major results in Standardisation.
• There is a very limited dissemination of the results on the website. This shall be improved. • Since the promised KPI have been substantially achieved, the project has been properly managed.
Nevertheless, substantial improvements are possible (a) in the management of the project website whose content is limited and does not promote the project results, and (b) in balancing activities for Standardisation and activities targeting scientific results since scientific contributions are still limited at this milestone. For example, more effort could be dedicated to define better some of the test beds.
• Dissemination activities were substantially increased, incl. scientific journal and conference publications and public demos
• Project website was considerably populated and regularly updated with all relevant dissemination content
• Recommendations incorporated in Deliverable D6.5
