This White Paper provides engineers and researchers with a detailed technical foundation in 5G non-terrestrial networks — covering satellite constellation design, radio frequency propagation challenges, 5G protocol adaptations, and the architecture evolution from 3GPP Release 17 toward unified three-dimensional networks in future generations.

What you will learn about: 

  • How 3GPP Release 17 introduces non-terrestrial network support into the 5G system through two complementary paths: New Radio non-terrestrial networks for mobile broadband services and Internet of Things non-terrestrial networks for low-power machine-type communications.
  • How satellite orbit selection — low earth orbit, medium earth orbit, or geostationary earth orbit — determines coverage geometry, round-trip, beam footprint size, and differential delay across user equipment, and why these parameters drive every subsequent design decision
