Narrowband IoT service provision to 5G user equipment via a satellite component

© 2017 IEEE. Today an estimated 15 billion of connected objects communicate with each other's. These connected objects that compose the Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to extend to 50 or 80 billion worldwide by 2020. Bringing wide-area connectivity for the IoT using satellite technology is therefore an attractive solution to complement terrestrial networks, allowing densification and coverage extension in remote areas. This paper deals with seamless integration of satellites and high altitude platforms (HAPS) into 5G networks. It describes the necessary modifications to operate on 5G systems in order to take satellite and HAPS specifics into account. Link budget calculations and system dimensioning, including channel modeling, are provided to determine the required satellite and HAPS performance as well as to estimate the number of served users per km

High Specific Li-ion cells based on high voltage materials

This paper presents the results obtain in the frame of the ESA TRP: High specific Li-ion cells based on high voltage materials. As there is a need of high energy cells for Space application, a low TRL study was performed by Saft, CEA and ADS in order to developed high energy cells prototypes with a space proven cell mechanical design. The program was divided into 3 main parts. 1) Bibliographic study on the most promising active materials, 2nd a laboratory 2) Laboratory scale study of the selected active materials 3) Realization and electrochemical evaluation of format D prototype cell
