(2025) Sustainable 6G-NTN for seamless air mobility: exploring channel propagation characteristics. In: 2025 Integrated Communications, Navigation and Surveillance Conference (ICNS), 8-10 April 2025, Brussels, Belgium979-8-3315-3474-52155-4943https://doi.org/10.1109/icns65417.2025.10976967https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/23900The air transportation vision for sustainable sixthgeneration (6 G) wireless communications networks revolves around ensuring ubiquitous coverage and spectral efficiency with enhanced network intelligence in the diverse communication scenarios. This vision extends beyond terrestrial networks to include non-terrestrial networks (NTN) by incorporating GX Inmarsat satellites and aircraft networks. In the context of 6G GX satellite scenarios, aircraft seamless transportation plays a crucial role as a densely populated intermediate network layer between ground networks and space-based ones. The paper proposes a new sustainable mechanism with mathematical model to improve channel propagation, which has been validated by crucial analysis of propagation channel modeling within the framework of 6 G technology. It highlights the significance of such modeling with the guarantee of dependable communications, maximizing availability, and establishing system parameters like antenna layout and relay deployment. It explores industry trends and ongoing field trial initiatives, offering valuable insights into the progress and outcomes that will shape the future of 6G NTN.pp. 1-7enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/4613 Theory Of Computation46 Information and Computing Sciences4006 Communications Engineering40 EngineeringConference paper979-8-3315-3473-82155-4951673116
