EARTH-FIXED CELL ID FOR NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18040717 Titled 'EARTH-FIXED CELL ID FOR NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORKS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method performed by a network node. The method involves mapping a cell identifier associated with the network node to a cell identifier associated with a specific geographical location covered by a satellite beam. The first cell identifier is then broadcasted to wireless devices in that geographical location. Additionally, the second cell identifier is transmitted to a core network node as part of location information for one of the wireless devices in that geographical location.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to some embodiments, a method performed by a network node comprises: mapping a first cell identifier associated with the network node to a second cell identifier associated with a first geographical coverage location of a beam transmitted by the non-geostationary satellite; broadcasting the first cell identifier to one or more wireless devices in the first geographical coverage location; and transmitting the second cell identifier to a core network node as part of location information for one of the one or more wireless devices in the first geographical coverage location.
