Satellite–Terrestrial Integrated Communication Networks

Satellite–terrestrial integration is emerging as a key enabler of ubiquitous and resilient global connectivity. This track examines the architectural frameworks that combine satellite and terrestrial networks into a unified communication system. Participants will explore integration strategies across access, core, and service layers, enabling seamless mobility, interoperability, and service continuity across heterogeneous networks.

The track also addresses technical challenges such as handover management, resource coordination, and latency optimization in integrated environments. Standardization efforts and use cases, including rural broadband, emergency response, and global IoT connectivity, are highlighted. By leveraging the strengths of both satellite and terrestrial networks, integrated communication systems offer enhanced coverage, reliability, and scalability. This track provides insights into how such convergence is shaping future global communication infrastructures
