Innovative Technologies & Techniques for SatCom Beyond 5G
preparing the next generation of satellite networks beyond the 5G non-terrestrial networks standard.
Vision & Objectives
To maintain Europe’s leadership in the definition and development of 3GPP-defined network solutions, it is timely to advance significant innovation breakthrough in the current technologies, techniques, and architectures.
The EAGER project aims to pave the way for the use cases, technologies, and techniques that will constitute the heart of Europe’s 6G satellite communications. EAGER will build on and advance the existing innovations to prepare for next generation satellite networks, targeting highly efficient and deeply integrated satellite networks in beyond 5G and 6G cellular systems. EAGER’s key objectives are:

EAGER will build on and advance the existing innovations to prepare for next generation satellite networks, targeting highly efficient and deeply integrated satellite networks in beyond 5G and 6G cellular systems. EAGER’s key objectives are:
Assess and adopt solutions/use cases
including Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques, massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), and more
Identify and evaluate novel concepts
both in the waveform and in the network domain, as well as in the space and ground segment technologies
Develop relevant software and tools
to properly assess the performance of the most promising techniques and technologies

Roadmap
Starting from the updates of Rel. 17 and Rel. 18 Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) specifications, EAGER will evaluate the performance/feasibility benchmark of the most promising scenarios and services beyond 5G satellite systems, and perform a technical gap analysis, also targeting those solutions partially or fully discarded within 3GPP.
