It also conducts an analysis of the reasons necessitating standardization for each Work Item and explains the expected effects based on the results of this analysis. Additionally, it provides an overview of the NTN-related technologies standardized in 3GPP Release 17 and Release 18. It delves more deeply into representative Work Items proposed for NTN in Release 19, such as regenerative payload, uplink capacity/coverage enhancements, downlink coverage enhancements, and mobility enhancements." }
