In terms of communication technology, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. has never stopped innovating. Recently, Huawei announced a groundbreaking new patent - "5G base station deployment on satellites". This technology envisions the future of building a new communication platform in space and will greatly expand the application field of 5G technology.
The official name of this patent is "An Inter-Satellite Link Construction Method and Communication Device", and its publication number is CN117278091A. Huawei presented its blueprint to the world on June 14, 2022. According to the patent, Huawei is committed to applying non-terrestrial network (NTN) technology to real-world communication systems.
The NTN communication system is designed to enable connectivity between satellites and ground terminal equipment. Huawei's 5G satellite patent is of epoch-making significance, as it will break the limitations of traditional terrestrial communication and further open a new era of integrated space, air, and ground communication networks.
It is understood that satellite communication systems usually use two typical architectures, namely transparent forwarding and on-board regeneration. Huawei's innovation patents may incorporate key elements of these architectures to improve overall communication efficiency.
The communication device mentioned in the patent includes a processor and memory, key components that may be integrated into the satellite's interior. In this way, the intelligence and function diversification of satellites are realized.
Huawei's technology aims to build a unified space, air, and ground communication network. The core idea is to establish inter-satellite links through satellite constellations with discrete orbits. This is not only a major advance in communication technology, but also a major innovation in the use of space resources by mankind.
This technology is expected to drive large-scale commercial applications of satellite communication technology. As the technology matures and spreads, communication base stations in space may become a part of everyday life.
In the architecture of the 5G satellite communication system, the ground terminal will access the network through the 5G new air interface. This means that in the future, users may be able to enjoy high-speed and stable communication services without the need for traditional terrestrial base stations.
Huawei's patent shows that the company may already be actively investing in the research and development of 5G NTN technology based on the 3GPP standard. As a leader in the field of communications, Huawei's action will undoubtedly inspire the development of the entire industry.
Although the innovative technology is still in the development stage, Huawei's patent indicates the potential and direction of future communication technology. With the continuous improvement and application of this technology, it is expected that in the near future, people will experience seamless and efficient 5G communication services provided by satellites.
