LEO Satellite Access Network (LEO-SAN) Towards 6G: Challenges and Approaches – ArXiv

This paper aims at revealing the main technical issues that have not been fully addressed by the existing LEO-SAN designs, from three aspects namely random access, beam management and Doppler-resistant transmission technologies. Promising technologies to address these challenges are also discussed, respectively. Finally, the future research directions are envisioned.

6G: The Network Of Technology Convergence

This ABI Research paper will elaborate on some potential market opportunities 6G will enable, notably the build-up towards the metaverse. Most importantly, it will define the 6G vision and the three types of convergence this vision will encapsulate, namely:

– Communications and computing convergence.
– The convergence of many access technologies to enable ubiquitous coverage around the globe.
– The convergence between virtual and physical spaces.

TaNTIN: Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Integrated Networks

A team from Pakistan’s NUST explores architecture, benefits and limitations to unite terrestrial networks, drones/UAVs, and satellites into an integrated service delivery platform, paying particular attention to supporting the anticipated collaborative tools of the 5G and 6G era.

Editorial – Dispelling Common 6G Illusions

There are a good many misconceptions popping up about what 6G is or should be, and which lead to the concept being dismissed all too easily. By digging into some of these misconceptions.
