Abstract:
Aiming at providing communication services to sparsely-populated areas and easing the burden of the existing ground network, non-terrestrial networks (NTN) have been under the exploration of 3GPP. In this present research, a novel design of the initial access procedure is proposed on the premise that both the satellite base station (SBS) and the terrestrial base station (TBS) are capable of leveraging large antenna arrays to perform beamforming at both transmission and receiving ends. In the proposed architecture, a group of user equipment (UE) can share the same resource for communication with other groups of UE within the same satellite cell, in light of the spatial orthogonality this designed system promises. Analysis and simulations not only reveal that in this architecture, a desirable signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) can be obtained if a proper searching beam offset is chosen, but also infer a 99% preamble detection rate can be reached even within a very low SINR range in single beam scenario.
