1. The Cloud-Native Solution of Integrate Satellite Ground Station System and Telecommunication Network System National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Arete Honors Program Students
2. The Design of Traditional Satellite Ground Station RF equipment Baseband equipment Signal Processing equipment K band Antenna RF equipment Baseband equipment Signal Processing equipment C band Antenna Connect to MOCC Connect to MOCC Customize each ground station system for each different frequency band Proprietary waveform
3. Communication Antenna Communication Antenna CoTS USRP Including component: • Converter • Modem (A/D, D/A) • Digitalizer Signal processing Equipment Ethernet Tracking Antenna Tracking Antenna In communication Nearby satellites IP Currently is Impossible to Smoothly Interface with Ground Telecom Networks (Still Need a Network Devices “Gateway”) Wi-Fi Router Wi-Fi Router 5G Base Station 5G Base Station Gateway Cannot Smoothly Interface with Ground Telecom Networks
4. Solutions of Reduce Satellite Ground Station Development Because the development cost of customizing each ground station system for each different Satellite band is too high. Therefore, various ground station solutions have been designed one after another.
5. Hardware-based satellite ground operations architecture Source: A Software-Defined Baseband for Satellite Ground Operations
6. SDR-based satellite ground operations architecture Source: A Software-Defined Baseband for Satellite Ground Operations
7. Source: A Software-Defined Baseband for Satellite Ground Operations The signal processing part of the SDR-based Ground operations architecture can use a more powerful GPP or a VM/Private cloud of GPPs to realize a full software-defined TT&C ground station. SDR-based Satellite Ground Operations Architecture
8. Source: A Software-Defined Baseband for Satellite Ground Operations The most advanced solution for the “Signal Processing Component” part of SDR-based satellite ground stations currently uses VNF. SDR-based Satellite Ground Operations Architecture Signal Processing Component However, Cloud-Native Architecture has become a Future Trend.
9. O-RAN NF is Moving from Physical to Virtual And Moving Toward Cloud-Native! O-RAN High Level Architecture Ground Telecom Network (O-RAN) also Moving Toward to Cloud-Native In the red box is NF; Network Function Source: O-RAN.WG6.O2-GA&P-R003-v04.00
10. Cloud Stack (Containers/VMs, OS, Mgmt.) O-DU RIC O-CU AAL AAL O-Cloud O-Cloud Physical Infra Node FPGA x86 ASIC GPU O-RAN O-Cloud Support Deployment with Container NF O-Cloud provides NFs basic management services
11. Ground Station (SDR Platform) 5G Base Station (Open RAN) API Physical NF -> Container NF “OAM Cost” & “Space Occupied” Cloud-Native Reduce Smooth Connection via Open API
12. Cloud Platform Reimagining Ground Station with Cloud-Native Ground Station & 5G Station As a Service
13. ETE/ Service Orchestration System (ONAP) Reimagining the Use of Cloud-Native to Integrate Ground station System and Telecom Networks Cloud Infrastructure Cloud Infrastructure CNF CNF CNF CNF Private Cloud (O-RAN) CNF CNF CNF CNF Private Cloud(SDR) for signal processing Transport Network K8s API K8s API K8s API K8s API K8s operator K8s operator Nephio Automation Layer
