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…
5G NR Non-Terrestrial Networks: From Early Results to the Road Ahead
Mattia Figaro, Francesco Rossato, Marco Giordani +7
This paper overviews the 3GPP 5G NR-NTN standard, detailing the evolution from Rel. 18 to 19 and innovations for Rel. 20. Using realistic ns-3 simulations validated against 3GPP ca…
Sensing-Based Beamformed Resource Allocation in Standalone Millimeter-Wave Vehicular Networks
Alessandro Traspadini, Anay Ajit Deshpande, Marco Giordani +3
In 3GPP New Radio (NR) Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), the new standard for next-generation vehicular networks, vehicles can autonomously select sidelink resources for data transmissi…
A Hybrid Model/Data-Driven Solution to Channel, Position and Orientation Tracking in mmWave Vehicular Systems
Yun Chen, Nuria González-Prelcic, Takayuki Shimizu +1
Channel tracking in millimeter wave (mmWave) vehicular systems is crucial for maintaining robust vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication links, which can be leveraged to achi…
