Toward Realistic Simulations for Non-Terrestrial Networks: Challenges and Recent Advances

This paper presents a range of simulation approaches relevant to the development of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). Challenges specific to NTN—such as mobility, wide-area coverage, and atmospheric effects—require simulation techniques tailored to each scenario. Key use cases include satellite electromagnetic modeling, propagation analysis for LEO and UAVs, and rain attenuation evaluation.

Abstract

This paper presents a range of simulation approaches relevant to the development of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). Challenges specific to NTN—such as mobility, wide-area coverage, and atmospheric effects—require simulation techniques tailored to each scenario. Key use cases include satellite electromagnetic modeling, propagation analysis for LEO and UAVs, and rain attenuation evaluation.
