The present document is a technical report capturing the study on application enablement for Satellite access enabled 5G Services over 3GPP networks. The aspects of the study include identifying architecture requirements, supporting architecture for satellite access enabled 3GPP services and application enablers (either by defining new functional model or by enhancing existing functional model), and corresponding solutions. The study is based on the requirements as defined in TS 22.261 and related use cases (for e.g. in TR 22.822 and TR 22.865). The study is dependent on TS 23.501 (5GC architecture for satellite access for NR), TS 23.502 (procedures for NR satellite access), TS 23.503 (PCF for Satellite backhaul), TS 23.401 (EPC architecture for satellite access for IoT), TS 23.682 (EPC architecture enhancements to facilitate communications with packet data networks and applications).
