Bridging Earth and Space: A Survey on HAPS for Non-Terrestrial Networks
G. Svistunov, A. Akhtarshenas, D. López-Pérez +3
HAPS are emerging as key enablers in the evolution of 6G wireless networks, bridging terrestrial and non-terrestrial infrastructures. Operating in the stratosphere, HAPS can provid…
End-to-End Simulation of 5G NR Integrated Access and Backhaul Networks for Remote Maritime Connectivity
Alessandro Traspadini, Matteo Pagin, Raphaël Ihamouine +4
Millimeter wave (mmWave) 5th generation (5G) networks offer high data rates but face coverage challenges due to severe path loss and blockage. These problems motivate the use of In…
Digital Twin-Based Beamforming for Interference Mitigation in AF Relay MIMO Systems
Alexander Bonora, Anna V. Guglielmi, Davide Scazzoli +4
Beamforming in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems should take interference mitigation into account. However, for beamform design, accurate channel state information (CSI…
5G NR Non-Terrestrial Networks: Open Challenges for Full-Stack Protocol Design
Francesco Rossato, Mattia Figaro, Alessandro Traspadini +7
As 5th generation (5G) networks continue to evolve, there is a growing interest toward the integration of Terrestrial Networks (TNs) and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs). Specifical…
