Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) can be used to provide ubiquitous 5G and beyond services to un(der)served areas. To ensure reliable communication in such networks, packet duplication (PD) through multi-connectivity is a promising solution. However, the existing PD schemes developed for terrestrial environments may not be reactive enough for the NTN environment where propagation delays are significantly longer. This paper proposes a dynamic PD activation scheme for NTNs based on hybrid automatic repeat request feedback. The scheme aims to reduce the number of duplicated packets while maintaining high reliability. To evaluate the proposed scheme, simulations are conducted in a scenario with two transparent payload low earth orbit satellites. The results show a significant reduction of 87.2% in the number of duplicated packets compared to blind duplication, with only marginal compromise in reliability. ; peerReviewed
