Lab: Design D2D coverage plan for terrestrial gap-fill

Identifying Coverage Gaps for Satellite Fill

Terrestrial mobile networks leave significant coverage gaps in rural areas, along transportation corridors, and in challenging terrain where tower deployment is not economical. In this lab, you will design a D2D satellite coverage plan that identifies these gaps and determines the optimal satellite beam configuration to fill them. The exercise combines population density data, existing terrestrial coverage maps, and satellite constellation parameters to produce a practical deployment plan. You will also evaluate spectrum sharing constraints to ensure satellite beams avoid interfering with…
