Why does this matter operationally?
Performance
The measurable behaviour of a connectivity system under real operating conditions, including throughput, latency, jitter, and packet loss. Performance determines whether applications and control systems receive data at the speed and consistency their operations require.

Service Handoff
Service handoff is the operational process of moving an ongoing connection, session, or service flow from one network element or path to another while preserving continuity as much as possible.…
Concept/Framework
Service Level Objective
Service Level Objective is a target level of service performance or reliability that a system or team is expected to meet. It defines an operational target by establishing measurable thresholds…

Service Mesh
Service Mesh is an infrastructure layer that manages service-to-service communication, security, and observability in distributed applications. It adds policy control to east-west traffic.
Software
Session Continuity
The application- and user-level outcome of maintaining an active call, data session, or control link without perceptible interruption as a device moves between cells, satellites, beams, or connectivity paths, evaluated…
Concept/Framework
Shared Access Terminal
Shared Access Terminal is a terminal that provides network access to multiple users, devices, or services through a common access point.
Hardware
Shortest Path First
Shortest Path First is a routing approach that selects the shortest or lowest-cost route through a network graph by computing the minimum-cost path from available topology and metric information.
Protocol
Sidelink Communications
A 3GPP-standardized direct device-to-device radio communication mode, defined within NR and LTE specifications, enabling two devices to exchange data directly over the PC5 interface without routing traffic through a base…
Protocol
Signal Masking
Signal Masking is the use of spectral, timing, or power behavior that makes a signal harder to detect, identify, or isolate. It lowers signal observability.
Operations
Signal Strength
Signal strength is the measured level of received radio energy at a receiving point. It is a basic indicator of link quality and propagation conditions.
Concept/Framework
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
The measured ratio between the power of a wanted signal and the power of background noise present in the same channel, typically expressed logarithmically in decibels, determining how much data…
