Spectrum management in non-terrestrial network (NTN)-integrated IoT system

As IoT adoption grows, ensuring seamless connectivity across diverse environments is increasingly challenging. Many devices, such as sensors in farming, environmental monitoring, and disaster response, operate in remote areas where traditional networks are unavailable or insufficient. In such cases, NTN-integrated networks play a crucial role in providing connectivity. However, NTN communications require high transmission power, rapidly draining IoT device batteries. Beyond power constraints, coverage gaps remain a persistent issue, as NTN-integrated networks may still struggle to provide consistent and reliable service in certain regions due to environmental factors, network interference, or infrastructure limitations. Additionally, in busy urban environments where thousands of IoT devices are in operation, network congestion becomes a significant challenge, leading to slower speeds, increased interference, and unreliable connections.
