Abstract

Techniques for supporting non-terrestrial fronthaul network architectures are provided. In one example, a wireless network includes: a satellite comprising a radio unit; a satellite gateway in communication with the satellite; and a distributed unit located on Earth and in communication with the satellite gateway. Using ephemeris data for the satellite and the location of the gateway, maximum and minimum distances between the gateway and the satellite are determined for a time period when the satellite will be in line-of-sight communication with the satellite gateway. Based on the maximum and minimum distances, maximum and minimum propagation times for signals exchanged between the satellite and the gateway during the time period are determined. Using the maximum and minim propagation times, the distributed unit coordinates uplink and downlink transmission windows with the radio unit.
