Abstract

Non-terrestrial networks (NTN) covering space-based and airborne network assets will be crucial for 6G delivery. Satellite constellations constitute a significant part of the NTN infrastructure but have certain limitations like long latency and Doppler shifts. High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) will complement the role of satellite systems and add significant value to the 6G NTN offering. This article draws the attention of the 6G development ecosystem to the need to prioritise HAPS studies and specifications. HAPS NTN will address three main factors relevant to 6G NTN deployments: Technology limitations of satellites, complexities of operations, automation and maintenance (OAM) and futureproofing 6G NTN. Wireless technologies change in 10-year cycles on average. However, intra-cycle changes (evolutions) also occur, further shortening the actual spans of the technology cycles. HAPS NTN can future-proof 6G NTN since it is retrievable for upgrades, retooling or redesign. Satellite systems will be highly exposed if these intra-cycle evolutions need hardware upgrades. Softwarisation and virtualisation would be helpful but do not eliminate the risk. This paper addresses the need to elevate the consideration for HAPS in 6G studies as it may serve as the ultimate technology guarantee for the success of 6G NTN.

Abstract

The impact and requirements for implementing stratospheric or high altitude vehicles for communications coverage may vary from one geographical location to another. These variations may impose significant constraints on energy and various key parameters of the vehicle’s operation and performance.This paper therefore, examines the potential for autonomous fixed-wing unmanned solar-powered High Altitude Platform Station or Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS) to provide persistent communications coverage. As a solar dependent platform, the potential for harnessing green energy and long platform endurance makes it an attractive communications coverage option. However, the variation of latitude and seasons across the globe presents an implementation constraint and challenges power availability and coverage capability. This paper investigates how the services of a typical solar-powered HAPS are affected by latitude and season. It shows that the degree of insolation directly affects the unmanned aircraft’s altitude, hence, its footprint diameter and power available to the communications payload. The paper highlights effective energy management algorithms as key to successful implementation of solar-powered unmanned HAPS especially at challenging latitudes and seasons

Abstract

This paper examines how cloud-based infrastructure is impacting classical implementations of telecom Managed Services (MS) models with focus on network operations and maintenance (O&M). The migration of legacy network assets to the ‘cloud’ has altered traditional telecom network configuration. This work explores how cloud-based network infrastructure may alter MS models in the telecom network domain. It is expected that the unique offerings of cloud-based solutions will impact existing MS models and may require redesigning or adjusting operation and maintenance processes and frameworks. As network infrastructure migrates to the cloud, telecom MS delivery models must evolve as well to satisfy new requirements. This paper lays out essential aspects of traditional MS models that may be impacted as a result of cloud-based infrastructure. It further proposes a framework, and conceptual software design for systematically analysing the gaps in current MS models in order to identify requirements for improved MS delivery in the cloud era.
