The Potential of Multilayered Hierarchical Nonterrestrial Networks for 6G: A Comparative Analysis Among Networking Architectures
The Potential of Multilayered Hierarchical Nonterrestrial Networks for 6G: A Comparative Analysis Among Networking Architectures
Research for 6th generation (6G) communication currently focuses on nonterrestrial networks (NTNs) to promote ubiquitous and ultrahigh-capacity global connectivity. Specifically, multilayered hierarchical networks, i.e., the orchestration among different aerial/space platforms, including low-altitude platforms (LAPs), high-altitude platforms (HAPs), and satellites cooperating at different altitudes, currently represent one of the most attractive …
