Research on key technologies of direct-to-handset under satellite-terrestrial integrated network
the demand of consumers and industrial users for satellite-terrestrial integrated communications is evolving to achieve seamless coverage and anytime
anywhere access
and the integration of satellite and terrestrial communication capabilities will be the development direction of future mobile phones. The application scenarios for direct-to-handset connectivity
domestic and international development paths
and related technical solutions were introduced. Subsequently
the network architecture and key technology for realizing direct-to-handset connectivity with respect to the 3GPP NTN standard scheme were analyzed. The requirements and potential improvement schemes for multi-mode terminals in satellite communication scenarios in terms of integrated design
antenna capabilities
voice capabilities and power saving
were also identified. Finally
by exploring the key regulatory challenges (e.g. radio-frequency spectrum) related to direct-to-handset communications
feasible pathways for the future development of satellite-terrestrial integrated terminals were provided.
