METHODS, APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR EPHEMERIS ASSISTED CELL SELECTION AND RESELECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18203231 titled 'METHODS, APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR EPHEMERIS ASSISTED CELL SELECTION AND RESELECTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, apparatus, and systems for cell selection or reselection in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) based on ephemeris and configuration information.

  • The wireless communication device in the NTN obtains configuration information related to multiple candidate cells, each associated with a candidate satellite.
  • The configuration information is used to adjust the ranking of the candidate cells for cell selection or reselection.
  • This technology aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of cell selection or reselection in a non-terrestrial network.
  • By considering ephemeris and configuration information, the wireless communication device can make more informed decisions when selecting or reselecting cells.
  • This innovation has potential applications in satellite communication systems and other non-terrestrial networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, apparatus and systems for cell selection or reselection based on ephemeris and/or configuration information are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a wireless communication device operating in a non-terrestrial network (NTN), the method including: obtaining configuration information associated with a plurality of candidate cells of the NTN, each of the plurality of candidate cells associated with a respective one of a plurality of candidate satellites; and based on the configuration information, adjusting a ranking of the plurality of candidate cells for cell selection or reselection.
