+## How to simulate a simple GEO satellite channel model
+
+A simple channel model for satellites on a geostationary orbit (GEO) simulates simply one line-of-sight propagation channel.
+
+The most basic version is to simply simulate a constant propagation delay, without any other effects.
+
+In case of a transparent GEO satellite, the minumum one-way propagation delay (DL: gNB -> satellite -> UE, or UL: UE -> satellite -> gNB) is 238.74 ms.
+
+So, additionally to other parameters, this parameter should be given when executing the gNB and the UE executables:
+
+```
+--rfsimulator.prop_delay 238.74
+```
+
+Note:
+
+To successfully establish a connection with such a GEO satellite channel, both gNB and UE need to have the NTN support configured.
+
 # Caveats
