5G NTN关键技术研究与演进展望

5G非地面网络（non-terrestrial network,NTN）技术是5G通信系统面向卫星通信和低空通信等新应用场景的重要技术，标志着5G技术应用从陆地通信走向了空间通信。首先分析了5G NTN和地面5G的差异点，包括网络架构、时频同步、HARQ和移动性管理等。进而介绍了3GPP Release 17的5G NTN标准进展及关键技术点与3GPP Release 18的5G NTN增强技术。最后展望了未来空、天、地一体化的技术演进。通过对5G NTN技术研究和标准分析，明确了5G和卫星通信融合的技术路线，并为后续6G空、天、地融合系统研究和设计提供基础。
