Abstract(in English) With the proliferation of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and cell phones, there is a need to provide high-speed communications to a large number of users. Next-generation mobile communication systems, Beyond 5G/6G, are considering the use of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) to ensure a wide coverage area and to accommodate the increase in users. Satellite communications, which is one of NTNs, have a wider coverage area than base stations of terrestrial networks (TNs), but utilization of NTNs concerns the impact on terrestrial networks when considering spectrum between NTNs and TNs. For spectrum sharing with the TNs, frequency bands are allocated for each communication link, and an investigation is conducted on the timing schedule method for TNs and NTNs terminals. We consider the impact on each terminal and base station when using reverse pairing, which reverses the up-link and down-link frequency resource links between NTNs and TNs. To avoid interference between terminals, which was found to be necessary when performing reverse pairing, scheduling of terminals is conducted, and a radio map is utilized for this schedule. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, we evaluated the number of possible transmission terminals affected by the error of information in the radio map by computer simulation. The results show that efficient spectrum sharing between terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks is possible even when estimation errors occur in the case of using radio map.
