NTN Workshop

Thursday 7 November 2024

The NTN WS with leading NTN projects in Europe and Hexa-X-II took place November 7th with the main objective to learn from each other. This learning included the need to understand how 6G NTN solutions impact the proposed architecture from Hexa-X-II and vice versa. The selected topics in the WS were on NTN and TN architecture in general, use cases, mobility issues, sustainability, air interface, NTN/TN integration, etc. The presentations showed a wide range of interesting results, and the consensus was that the projects are aligned on the overall architecture and this can hopefully be leveraged for introducing 6G NTN in a succesful way.
