Abstract: Through an analysis of the air interface transmission characteristics of low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks, a method is proposed for achieving wide-area seamless access and adaptive transmission through the synergy between intelligent networks and lightweight terminals, built upon the terrestrial 5G NR framework. The key technologies for air interface transmission in LEO satellite networks have been systematically reviewed. It is believed that an endogenous intelligence approach should be employed to assist air interface design. The research framework is envisaged to be constructed as a complete closed loop, focusing on two main aspects: empowering AI through the air interface and utilizing AI to assist the air interface. Finally, future research trends in LEO satellite networks are anticipated.
