Fraunhofer IIS has developed a new splitting method for integrating satellites into the 5G network, which allows for the use of different classes of satellites. This method splits the base station, with part of the signal processing occurring in space and the rest on the ground. The approach aims to enhance communication infrastructure flexibility and support the transition from 5G to 6G.

The research is part of the TRANTOR project, which is funded by the European Commission and focuses on preparing the transition of satellite communications from 5G to 6G.

Fraunhofer IIS is also involved in 5G standardization and the European Space Agency's NTN Forum.
