6G: A Comparative Analysis Among Networking Architectures
6th generation (6G) communication research is currently focusing on non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) to promote ubiquitous and ultra-high-capacity global connectivity. Specifically, multi-layered hierarchical networks, i.e., the orchestration among different aerial/space platforms, including Low and High Altitude Platforms (LAPs and HAPs), and satellites co-operating at different altitudes, currently represent one the most …
