Abstract:

It is envisioned 5G Networks will integrate diverse spectrum, deployments, technologies to achieve diverse and enhanced KPIs and support diverse applications and services. In special, 5G networks are expected to support data rates of 10-50 Gbps for low-mobility users, deliver an end-to-end latency of less than 5 milliseconds and over-the-air latency of less than one millisecond, broad coverage area, and efficient use of the spectrum by using MIMO, advanced coding and modulation schemes and new waveform design. The question is how challenge and difficult it is to achieve the expected performance. Can we have alternative and better approach to achieve such performance? In this talk, we introduce Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks by making use of the advantages of different networks to achieve the performance goal. We also present our developed Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks simulator for demonstration.
