Why does this matter operationally?
Resilience
The capacity of a connectivity system to maintain acceptable service levels when components fail, links degrade, or conditions change unexpectedly. Resilient architectures use redundancy, failover paths, and graceful degradation to keep operations running when ideal conditions cannot be guaranteed.

5G NTN Architecture
The architectural framework, standardized by 3GPP, that defines how non-terrestrial nodes (satellites, HAPS) integrate into the 5G System as a radio access technology, covering the feeder link between gateway and…
Concept/Framework
Access Network
Access Network is the part of a communications network that links end users, devices, or remote sites to the provider infrastructure. It provides the first network hop for service access…
Concept/Framework
Active-Active Duplication
Active-active duplication is a high-availability design pattern in which multiple systems operate concurrently and provide the same or coordinated service. The duplicated components share workload and can continue service if…
Concept/Framework
Actuator
An actuator is a device that converts a control command into physical action. It is the output element in many control systems and is used to move, open, close, position,…
Hardware
Adaptive Coding And Modulation
Adaptive Coding And Modulation is a link-adaptation method that changes coding and modulation to match current channel conditions, balancing throughput and robustness.
Protocol
Adjacent Channel Interference
Adjacent channel interference is the degradation of a communication channel caused by energy from a nearby channel bleeding into the wanted signal path.
Concept/Framework
ADS-B
A surveillance protocol under which an aircraft automatically and continuously broadcasts its GNSS-derived position, altitude, velocity, and identity for reception by ground stations and nearby aircraft, without requiring radar interrogation.
Protocol
AIOps
AIOps is the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques — including anomaly detection, event correlation, and pattern recognition — to IT operations and network management data, aimed at…
Concept/Framework
Airborne Relay
Airborne Relay is a communications relay carried by an aircraft, drone, or other airborne platform to extend coverage or bridge a gap by forwarding communications over terrain, distance, or damaged…
Hardware
AIS
A VHF-based maritime protocol under which vessels automatically and continuously broadcast identity, position, course, speed, and navigational status data, received by nearby vessels and shore stations terrestrially and, via Satellite-AIS,…
