Who takes this route
RAN and core engineers, architects and leads evaluating or deploying non-terrestrial access.
What you'll be able to do
- Compute delay, Doppler and a satellite link budget from the geometry
- Explain how a UE pre-compensates timing and frequency
- Follow a handover between moving cells and back to a terrestrial network
