Why you should read this white paper
With the advent of 5G, universal connected vehicles are becoming more and more popular and connected cars will be a big challenge to the automotive sector in the nearest future.
This review focuses on the challenges faced by the automotive and satellite industry to be able to provide the high-definition mapping, image-processing, and ultra-low latency features that have been tested so far. The major use cases of satellite-connected cars are presented, possible satellite-based NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) architectures, as defined by 3GPP, are also explained. Finally, possible approaches to mitigate network load and optimize resource usage as computing at the edge, Opportunistic Data Transfer (ODT) and network slicing are illustrated.
