Why do we need satellite communication with 5G?

Let us investigate the role of satellite communication with 5G and why it is needed. Satellite communication can provide cellular coverage in hard-to-reach places with terrestrial networks, such as in the middle of the ocean, on a ship, or on a small island. 5G networks can use satellite communication to increase their capacity. Satellite communication can act as a backup for 5G networks.

The European Union’s (EU’s) Horizon 2020 program and the European Space Agency (ESA) have been researching satellite convergence with 5G. They have the common goal of developing the satellite and TN for 5G by leveraging GEO, MEO, and LEO satellite systems.

The main reasons for the use of satellite communication systems for 5G are the following:

  • Satellite backhaul: When a suitable terrestrial network is lacking, we can use fixed satellite backhaul to single small cells and base stations. This can support eMBB and provide 5G...
