Open Date: 01/05/2025 14:04 Cet Closing Date: 02/07/2025 13:00 Cet Price Range: 500 Keuro Objective: The Objective Of This Activity Is To Design, Develop And Validate Through Testing A Scaled Demonstrator Of A Regenerative Digital Processor Supporting Ntn 5G/6G Waveforms For Direct Satellite-To-Device Communications, Being Highly Power Efficient, Manufacturable Efficiently In Large Quantities, Using Cots Elements And Suitable For The Deployment In V/Leo Space Environments. Targeted Improvements: - 25% Improvement In Link Budget.- 50% Reduction In Power Consumption And Size.- Enabling Direct Satellite-To-Device 5G/6G Communications Through Non-Terrestrial Networks (Ntn), Currently Not Available. Description: Current Developments For Regenerative Payload Processors Are In Progress However Further Advancements Are Required. In View Of Direct Satellite-To-Device 5G/6Gcommunications, The Development Of A Bespoke 5G/6G Regenerative Processor Is Essential, To Achieve High Power-Efficiency, Compact, Low-Cost, Volume Production, Supporting Of High Data Throughputs, Scalable, Future-Proof For The Next Generation Of 5G/6G Waveforms Theadvent Of Low And Very Low Earth Orbit Constellations (V/Leo) Coupled With The Recent Developments In 5G/6G Satellite Technologies Create An Opportunity For Suchregenerative Processors. It Is Anticipated That The Integration Of Terrestrial 5G New Radio Access With Non-Terrestrial-Networks (Ntn) Satellite Access Enables Ubiquitous Connectivity To Handheld And Non-Hand-Held 5G/6G Devices, Including Iot Devices, Which Can Switch Seamlessly Between Terrestrial And Satellite Networks. To Achieve A High Level Of Integration, Innovative Satellite Payload Concepts Are Required Such As V/Leo Satellite Architectures Utilising Active Antennas And Onboard Regenerative Digital Processors To Support Reconfigurability, Flexibility, Frequency Hopping And Dynamic Frequency And Power Allocations Ona Per-Beam Basis, Together With Alignment To Future Ntnradio Access Technologies, In Particular Future 3Gpp Releases. Network Resilience Is Another Important Key Factor, As Well As The Realisation Of Economies Of Scale.This Activity Will Design, Develop And Test A Scaled Demonstrator Of A Regenerative Digital Processor For 5G/6G. The Activity Shall Encompass The Consolidation Of Requirements, The Design Of A Bespoke 5G/6G Ntn Regenerative Processor Reference Architecture That Supports The Objectives Of Low Power-Consumption, Volume Production, Economies Of Scale, High Data Throughputs, Scalability, 3Gpp Ntn Compatibility And Network Resilience As Required For The Usage In V/Leo Satellite Constellations Targeting 5G/6Gcommunications Needs.The Demonstrator Shall Validate Critical Elements Of The Regenerative Processor Technology. The Demonstrator Shall Be Verified Against Functional Requirements On Regenerative Payload Operations And The Processor Configuration. Finally, The Technology Shall Be Demonstrated In A Test Configuration, Simulating A Typical Use-Case Set-Up, Compatible With The Latest Satellite Ntn 3Gpp Release.
