Non-Terrestrial Networks: Paving the Way Towards Global Connectivity presents technologies that are important for NTNs - from LEO satellite communication, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)/flying platforms assisted wireless networking, the use of machine learning, edge computing, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, multiple access, wireless backhaul/fronthaul, integrated access and backhaul, integrated sensing and communications, and high frequency channel modeling such as terahertz, sub-terahertz, and millimeter wave. These technologies are essential in providing a paradigm shift from current wireless standards and will usher in the development of exciting new vertical frameworks.

This book gives students and researchers in academia an understanding of the fundamentals, technologies, systems and techniques for the next generation NTNS. In addition, it gives industry engineers insights into interdisciplinary findings on many open issues and trends in NTN standardization.
