The next frontier for 5G and post-5G networks towards truly ubiquitous connectivity is the use of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) small-satellite constellations to support the three 5G use cases: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the architectural and technology components that enable the full integration of these networks into 5G and post-5G systems.
