Modeling 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) Links in MATLAB
Overview
Ubiquitous internet connectivity using satellites is no longer a dream as demonstrated by the 3GPP investment in 5G New Radio (NR) non-terrestrial networks (NTN). The challenges of NTN links are very different in comparison to terrestrial links, as they must deal with larger propagation delays and high Doppler.
In this webinar, you will learn about modeling 5G non-terrestrial links in MATLAB. We will start with an overview of the orbit propagation capabilities in MATLAB that allows you to model large satellites constellations in their orbits and generate coverage maps for different antenna types. We will then focus modeling a 5G NTN link by evaluating the throughput of NR Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in an NTN channel, specifically, the tapped delay line (TDL) NTN channel. We will also learn about the different Doppler compensation strategies employed in an NTN link. We will also briefly talk about narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) NTN links before making our conclusions.
