Our senior researcher, Dr. Agapi Mesodiakaki (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH and WinPhoS Research Group), represented ELIXIRION with her team’s work (Charalampos Bratsoudis, Panagiotis Konstantinou, Dr. Marios Gatzianas, Dr. George Kalfas, Prof. Nikos Pleros & Prof. Amalia Miliou) on "Techno-economic Analysis of Sustainable Terrestrial, Aerial, and Space 6G Networks".
Their research dives into optimizing the integration of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) in 6G to handle coverage and capacity.
Key highlights include:
✅ Minimizing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) across terrestrial, aerial, and space base stations.
✅ A detailed energy and cost analysis model tailored for 6G, addressing the access network’s role as an energy bottleneck.
✅ Findings show NTNs can reduce TCO by up to 4.4x in coverage-driven scenarios, underscoring the importance of an integrated TN-NTN 6G architecture.
📡 This research bridges sustainability, cost efficiency, and cutting-edge network innovation—paving the way for greener, smarter 6G networks! 🚀
