ABSTRACT = {Simultaneous use of heterogeneous radio access technologies to increase the 
performance of real-time, reliability and capacity is an inherent feature of satellite-5G 
integrated network (Sat5G). However, there is still a lack of theoretical characterization 
of whether the network can satisfy the end-to-end transmission performance for latencysensitive service. To this end, we build a tandem model considering the connection 
relationship between the various components in Sat5G network architecture, and give an 
end-to-end latency calculation function based on this model. By introducing stochastic 
network calculus, we derive the relationship between the end-to-end latency bound and 
the violation probability considering the traffic characteristics of multimedia. Numerical 
results demonstrate the impact of different burst states and different service rates on this 
relationship, which means the higher the burst of arrival traffic and the higher the average 
rate of arrival traffic, the greater the probability of end-to-end latency violation. The 
results will provide valuable guidelines for the traffic control and cache management in 
Sat5G network.},
