    Abstract

    This paper creates a vision for 5G and beyond satellite
    connectivity and discusses use cases where development is
    needed. We define a layered architecture for future integrated
    terrestrial-nonterrestrial networks and discuss what are the key
    communications technologies needed to make the operation
    reliable and efficient. We outline research challenges
    including high frequency bands, spectrum sharing and
    interference management, optical communications, and
    network management using software-defined networking
    principles. Autonomous transport and autonomous satellites
    are described both as key drivers behind the development as
    well as disruptive technologies to fulfil future needs.
