Digicomm Research has coordinated and worked on tens of high-level projects, many of which funded by the European Commission or the European Space Agency, contributing to the development and evaluation of new techniques for Non-Terrestrial Networks.
The Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) will complement the current Terrestrial Network (TN) and enhance the next generation of mobile networks and services. This will improve connectivity for users in unserved and underserved areas, benefiting both consumers and industries.
6G-NTN is a 6G SNS-funded project that aims to design and validate NTN’s key technical, regulatory, and standardisation enablers for the integration of TN and NTN components into 6G, focusing on multidimensional network infrastructure, multi-constraint RANs, and multi-user terminals.

To maintain Europe’s leadership in the definition and development of 3GPP-defined network solutions, it is timely to advance significant innovation breakthrough in the current technologies, techniques, and architectures.
The EAGER project aims to pave the way for the use cases, technologies, and techniques that will constitute the heart of Europe’s 6G satellite communications. EAGER will build on and advance the existing innovations to prepare for next generation satellite networks, targeting highly efficient and deeply integrated satellite networks in beyond 5G and 6G cellular systems.

With IoT and 5G playing an ever-increasing role in today’s society, many seek to improve their usage and use them as efficiently as possible. With this in mind, the EU-funded DYNASAT project aimed at researching and developing many novel bandwidth-efficient transmission methodologies that are to be used by advanced NGSO base satellite access infrastructures capable of servicing mass market and professional 5G users and equipment. As traffic demand increases, they further expanded the project using MIMO, dynamic spectrum access, frequency reuse, user clustering, CoMP and interference mitigation. With these solutions, DYNASAT is geared towards supporting Europe in holding its lead position in satellite solutions for 5G.
