SATELLITE AND BEAM SPECIFIC INFORMATION UPDATING IN NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORKS

Abstract:

Aspects relate to mechanisms for wireless communication devices to update satellite and beam specific information. A user equipment (UE) selects a first cell associated with a first satellite for wireless communication in the non-terrestrial network. The UE determines whether to use one or more standard parameters or one or more satellite-cell specific parameters for accessing the first cell. The one or more standard parameters are based on one or more standard characteristics common to a plurality of satellites including the first satellite. The one or more satellite-cell specific parameters are based on a change to at least one standard characteristic of the one or more standard characteristics of the first satellite.
