Fifth-generation (5G) promises an all-round connectivity scenario through the Internet of things, between people, and their environments as well as delivery of new communication levels and efficiency. To guarantee this goal of an all-round connectivity, the integration of satellite systems is vital based on the wide coverage area provided by satellite infrastructures. Hence a detailed analysis and definition of parameters and architectures for the seamless deployment of satellite systems within the 5G network is presented and captured in the design of a link budget for integrated 5G-low earth orbiting communication applications.
