Self-contained resource on fundamental concepts and the planning, provisionining, design, and operations of 3GPP-based NTNs
3GPP-based Non-Terrestrial Networks in 5G and 6G: Expanding the Frontiers of Wireless Communications provides an overview of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) in the context of 3GPP systems such as 4G LTE and 5G NR. Unique challenges of NTNs such as long and variable propagation delays, large and time-varying Doppler shifts, different types of beams including Earth-fixed beams, quasi-Earth-fixed beams, and Earth-moving beams and transparent and regenerative payloads are discussed. The mechanisms that 3GPP foresees to tackle these NTN-specific challenges are described and, furthermore, the planning, provisioning, design, and operations of the radio and core networks for NTNs are illustrated.
NTN considerations in the book range from physical-layer aspects (e.g., synchronization, random access, and uplink and downlink data transmission), to mobility management including handover and cell reselection, and to network architecture. Fundamentals of the associated concepts of NR, eMTC (i.e., LTE_M), and NB-IoT are described so that their customizations for NTNs become clear in NTN-specific discussions. NTN features in 3GPP Release 17, 18, and 19 are described andhe role of NTN in 6G is also summarized.
A companion website provides exercises to help learners to reinforce concepts, along with software utilities (e.g., Excel spreadsheets) that provide templates to investigate the impact of various factors (e.g., carrier frequency and channel bandwidth) on the performance of NTNs (e.g., coverage and capacity/throughput).
3GPP-based Non-Terrestrial Networks in 5G and 6G includes information on:
- Earth-fixed beams, Earth-moving beams, and quasi-Earth-fixed beams, as well as characteristics of Geo Synchronous Orbit (GSO) and Non-GSO (NGSO) satellites such as Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites
- Challenges unique to NTNs including large coverage areas, mobility of cells, and different types of payloads (e.g., transparent and regenerative)
- Issues surrounding data transfer in NTNs such as time and frequency pre-compensation, timers for different radio protocol stack layers, and HARQ enabling/disabling
- Random access, RRC connection setup, registration/attach, and PDU session/EPS bearer setup for LTE-M, NB-IoT, and 5G NR
3GPP-based Non-Terrestrial Networks in 5G and 6G is an essential resource for wireless communications and satellite industry engineers and professionals seeking to facilitate the design, provisioning, deployment, operations, maintenance, and optimization of 5G-based NTNs and identify R&D areas for 5G-advanced-based and 6G-based NTNs.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
