Network Slicing Network Slicing is the creation of logically separated network instances over shared physical infrastructure to support different service requirements. Service Model Network Telemetry Network Telemetry is the collection and export of operational data from network devices and services for monitoring and analysis. Operations New Radio The 3GPP-specified air interface for 5G, defining the physical layer waveform, flexible numerology, and radio protocol stack (PHY, MAC, RLC, PDCP) that terrestrial base stations and non-terrestrial network payloads alike… Protocol Nonlinear Amplification Nonlinear Amplification is amplifier behavior in which output is not perfectly proportional to input, often causing distortion or spectral regrowth. It can degrade signal quality. Hardware NTN Cell The 3GPP-recognized radio coverage area served by a non-terrestrial network node, defined by a Cell ID and system information broadcast, within which user equipment performs cell selection, camping, and connection… Concept/Framework NTN Feeder Link The point-to-point RF or free-space-optical link connecting a ground-based satellite gateway to a non-terrestrial network payload, over which all user-plane and control-plane traffic between the terrestrial core network and the… Concept/Framework NTN Handover The 3GPP-defined procedure for transferring an active radio connection between non-terrestrial coverage beams, satellites, or feeder links, incorporating satellite ephemeris and predicted timing/Doppler trajectories to trigger handover ahead of signal… Concept/Framework NTN Standardisation The multi-release body of 3GPP technical specification work that defines how non-terrestrial platforms integrate into the 5G System, spanning RAN procedures, core network integration, and satellite-specific radio layer adaptations across… Regulatory & Compliance Object Storage Object Storage is a storage model that stores data as discrete objects with metadata and identifiers in a flat namespace, designed for scalable data management. Software Observability Observability is the ability to infer the internal state of a system from its external outputs such as logs, metrics, and traces. Software
