Speaker 1:

Title: Non-terrestrial 6G activities at CWTe

Speaker: Johannsen Ulf, Center for Wireless Technology TU Eindhoven (CWTe)

Abstract:

6G promises connectivity everywhere through so called non-terrestrial networks (NTN). Together with their long-term partners NXP, Ericsson and Chalmers university, TU Eindhoven's Centre for Wireless Technology Eindhoven (CWTe) has teamed up with Thales Alenia Space as well as other partners to address NTN challenges using satellites. This presentation will give an overview of the project as well as the current view of 6G NTN as seen by its partners.

Speaker's Bio

Ulf Johannsen received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in Communications Engineering from Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH, Germany) in 2009. In 2013, he obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e, the Netherlands).

From 2013 until 2016 he worked as Senior Systems Engineer at ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH (Bremen, Germany), where his role was system designer and engineering manager for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems with sonar payloads. Since 2016 he is with the Electromagnetics group at the TU/e department of Electrical Engineering, currently in the role of associate professor. He is the head of the EM Antenna Systems Lab that focuses on innovative concepts and solutions for wireless applications from a system perspective. Since September 2023 he is also serving as director of TU/e’s Centre for Wireless Technology (CWTe) following a two-year part-time employment as senior researcher with the Smart Frontend group at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON).

Dr. Johannsen is a member of IEEE and EuMA as well as an associate member of INCOSE. He is a past chair of the IEEE Benelux joint AP/MTT chapter. Moreover, he serves on the advisory board of the Chip Integration Technology Centre (CITC, the Netherlands) and is an independent technology advisor to ASTRON’s Smart Frontend group.

Title: MEO, the enabler orbit

Speaker: Patrick van Niftrik, Spectrum Management & Development, EMEA for SES

Abstract

No clear regulations are in place today for MEO to LEO inter-satellite connectivity within the regular Ka-band. However, such connectivity is emerging as a key enabler for seamless, integrated commercial satcom solutions. SES’s experience with MEO stretches back almost a decade, and a second generation O3b mPOWER is now being launched and about to start service. But why is MEO so well suited? What are the key technical elements involved? What is the mechanism for enabling such regulatory changes?

Speaker's Bio

Patrick van Niftrik is the VP for Spectrum Management & Development, EMEA for SES, for whom he has worked since 2004. He has an M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from TU Delft, and his roles at SES, and previously New Skies Satellites, encompass Frequency Management, Capacity Management, Sales and Spectrum Development, making him ideally suited to navigate the world of frequency regulation in his current capacity.

Title:“Mega Constellations – Trends, Technologies and Vision”

Speaker: prof. Simeon Chatzinotas Research group SIGCOM University of Luxembourg

Abstract: Large LEO constellations and multi-orbit satellite systems have recently emerged as complex network architectures that provide and enhance a range of satellite services e.g. ubiquitous broadband internet, direct to handheld, satellite IoT etc. The current talk reviews the current capabilities of such systems from a communication perspective and describes the challenges of applying key technological enablers in space. In addition, we present a vision about future research topics of long-term importance in the area of Satellite Communications and Non-Terrestrial Networks

Speaker's Bio

Title: SatCom developments in 3GPP

Speaker: Speaker Relja Djapic Research Scientist at TNO-ICT

Abstract: 3GPP is a partnership program where mobile communication standards are defined. Since 2017 the 3GPP is developing and enhancing the 5G standard. For the first time 5G integrates terrestrial (TN) and non-terrestrial network (NTN) components into the same system. 5G TN-NTN integration enables worldwide ubiquitous connectivity to/from mobile handheld devices (e.g. smartphones). This presentation provides an overview of 5G NTN network architecture challenges, key issues and solutions. The evolution of 5G NTN from 2017 up to the present will be presented together with the 3GPP NTN related activities in the near future.   

Speaker's Bio

Relja Djapic acquired his MSc degree in Electronics and Telecommunications from the University of Novi Sad in 2000 and his PhD degree in signal processing for communication systems from Delft University of Technology in 2006. His PhD research focused on algorithm design for source separation in phased array and ultrawide band systems. Relja joined TNO in 2006 as scientist integrator where he worked on development and rollout of broadband communication systems for national (KPN) and European (TDC, A1, Swisscom) operators. Relja participated in numerous national and European projects in the field of 4G/5G cellular communication systems. Since 2017 he conducts research on integration of terrestrial and satellite component in 5G and contributes to 3GPP standardization Systems and Architectures Working Group (SA2) through studies on 5G Satellite Access Architectures (5GSAT_ARCH) and 5G Satellite Backhauling (5GSATB).
