The sixth generation of mobile communications (6G) is expected in 2030. Global network coverage will play an even more important role in 6G. Constellations of small satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) will, therefore, be a pillar of 6G, enabling communication even when terrestrial networks (TNs) are not available. So-called non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), such as satellite constellations, have been part of the 5G specifications since 3GPP Release 17, which will be further optimized until the introduction of 6G. The 6G standard will, therefore, consider the integration of NTNs into the 6G system from the outset, enabling the optimization of possible services using both TNs and NTNs right from the start.
In this framework, the event will promote scientific exchange and discussions on the following topics:
1. Use cases enabled by NTN in 6G
2. The role of multi-orbit connectivity and 3D networks
3. 6G proof of concepts through in-orbit demonstrations
4. Possible 6G architecture concepts that enable the native integration of satellite
5. Integration of satellite systems
6. Suitable technologies/functions for NTN in 6G
7. Standardization approach for NTN in 6G (what, where, when)
