Contributing to the 5GPPP use case “Broadband access everywhere”, SaT5G will foster the implementation of solutions enabling the “plug and play” integration of satellite communications in 5G networks

Hence, SaT5G project researched the key technology enablers and validated use-cases by demonstration in live 5G testbeds

SaT5G project outcomes will contribute in enabling the satellite industry to join the European initiative in the deployment of a competitive and ubiquitous 5G network globally

We have experienced delays in the submission of deliverables mainly due to:

• Greater effort than originally envisaged was required for some tasks;

• Numerous tasks are running in parallel so prioritisation of resources was necessary to avoid

major impact on project schedule and testbed demonstrations;

Status of Project Milestones

13



In terms of milestones, the project has successfully completed all the rest of the milestones:

MS3 Critical design review, which is related to the deliverable D3.1, which focuses on the definition of the Reference integrated satellite-terrestrial network architecture, which was completed as an interim version in August 2018.

MS4 Validation readiness review was completed by June 2019 along with framework for research pillars put in place

MS5 Demo readiness review, was completed in September 2019 which made sure the individual testbeds were ready for demonstrations.

MS6 Final internal review and MS7 Project Completion are the closure activities, which is envisaged to be completed before end of May 2020 as delays have been noticed due to Covid-19 pandemic crisis.


WP Deviation Justification Potential implications

WP4.

4

Studies concentrate on

the long-term approach “5G

over satellite link”.

It is better to concentrate limited

efforts on the more relevant approach

- Going straight forward to the best

solution from market perspective,

- Leveraging on-going telecom

standard and challenge vendors to

design a satellite friendly waveform.

Hybrid “5G and DVB”

will not be analysed

But the “Mid term”

approach has been done

in the SaT5G delivery,

“D3.4; Satellite and 3GPP

NextGen Reference

Interface,” 2018 and the

ETSI TR 103 611

“Seamless integration

of satellite and/or HAPS

(High Altitude Platform

Station) systems into 5G

and related architecture

options”.

Developed Set of Security

Functions was not produced.

Investigation in this work package

showed that there was no need to

develop a new set of security

functions.

No implications.

Deviations from plan

14




• TNO moved funds to Travel from Personal costs to support 3GPPP meetings(2 PMs reduced)

• Avanti moved funds from Travel and Equipment to personnel costs (3.3 PMs added)

• Funds transfer from BT and TAS to UoS was completed in January 2019

• Change of Technical manager, budget transfer and extension of project were executed via two amendments that was submitted and completed.

15

Budget and Amendments


Person Months: 718.8 total + 1.3 PMs, was added as part of the amendment

Important to Note:

• External financial audits are in progress

• Final claims – to be submitted in coming weeks


Period 2 PM deviation table for work packages:

Period 2 Costs:

• Total cost deviation(effort and other direct cost): 18% from projections

Project Level Spending

16

Financial Reporting (1/2)

WP Deviation Justification

1 26% Extension of the project resulted in more management effort

2 52%More WP2 activities were completed in and also extension period kept

WP2 alive after November with more activities.

3 38% More effort was required for some of the partners in this WP

4 22%Research pillar activities were carried out till up to November and

write-ups were done during the extension period.

5 28%

More WP5 activities were done during the extension period. Extra

effort was put into EuCNC 2019 live demonstrations

6 10%EuCNC 2019 booth arrangement etc. and other dissemination

activities for this conference created an overspent for some partners.



There is an overspent overall in Effortcost due to project extension.

PMs in Period 2:

• Planned: 418.6 PMs

• Achieved : 528.2 PMs

• Deviation: +26%

Effort Cost in Period 2:

• Planned cost: € 4,025,205

• Achieved cost: € 4,863,486

• Deviation: +21%

(BT did not report the planned PMs or plannedeffort cost)

Key Risks (program)

Risk Mitigation strategy Status

The mobile test-bed might not be live with O3b

satellites integration completed on time.

Extra time was needed to pursue and complete

the MEO over-the-air demo (High-Fly - as it is

using real satellites). The O3b beam availability

was secured for SaT5G ZII testbed measurements

and demonstration activities for December 2019

period. However, the team also, in parallel, had a

second setup with Low-Fly (as this is an

emulation), emulating the GEO satellite option

and using the already established IPsec tunnel (L3

VPN) between ZII (Munich) and Gilat offices (Tel

Aviv).
