Study on New Radio (NR) to support non-terrestrial networks
This technical report is related to a study item New Radio to support Non-Terrestrial Networks. The purpose of this TR is to collect the TSG RAN and RAN WG1 findings related to the study.
The objectives for the study are the following
- Definition of the Non-Terrestrial Networks deployment scenarios and related system parameters such as architecture, altitude, orbit etc.
- Adaptation of the 3GPP channel models for non-terrestrial networks (propagation conditions, mobility, …).
- For the described deployment scenarios, identification of any key impact areas on the New Radio interface that may need further evaluations.
