Analysis of Protocol Convergence for Satellite and 5G Communication

Abstract

In recent years, with the commercial application of fifth-generation mobile communication (5G), the integration of satellite communication and 5G system has become a hot topic in the industry. The first thing to be considered in the integration of two communication systems is the integration and conversion of communication protocols between different systems. However, there is no final conclusion on how to integrate satellite and 5G communication protocol. By analyzing the differences and characteristics of satellite and 5G communication protocol, this paper creates a new protocol stack model from the direction of protocol system integration, and realizes the integration from the protocol level. According to the characteristics of different network applications, three network deployment modes are proposed. Finally, the application scenarios of satellite communication and 5G integration are given.
