Title
Softwarization and Virtualization as Enablers for Future EHF/FSO High Throughput Satellites.
Abstract
Combining the use of Extremely High Frequencies (EHF) and Free Space Optics (FSO) for the feeder links of future High Throughput Satellites (HTS) is recognized as a key element to optimize system efficiency in terms of costs, power consumption and to increase the data rate to unprecedented levels (Terabit/s). This paper provides an overview of the main challenges to be faced to make the exploitation of hybrid EHF/FSO links feasible and cost-effective. In this framework, propagation and HW impairments mitigation techniques will play a key role. Therefore, the paper also presents a vision on how the use of SDN/SDR and NFV, extended down to lower layers of the protocol stack, could provide novel, so far unexplored, opportunities for optimizing the performance of such mitigation techniques.
