==METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASUREMENTS FOR UE MOBILITY BETWEEN NTN AND TN - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18336812 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASUREMENTS FOR UE MOBILITY BETWEEN NTN AND TN

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for measuring the mobility of a user equipment (UE) between a terrestrial network (TN) and a non-terrestrial network (NTN). Here are the key points:

* The UE receives information about neighboring cells from the TN, including their geographical area.
* The location of the UE is identified.
* Based on the UE's location and the TN neighboring cell information, a decision is made whether to measure the TN neighboring cells.
* If TN neighboring cells are to be measured, one or more specific TN neighboring cells are identified.
* The identified TN neighboring cells are then measured for a cell reselection operation.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Mobile network operators can use this technology to optimize the handover process between terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, ensuring seamless connectivity for users.
* It can be particularly useful in scenarios where users frequently move between areas covered by different types of networks, such as urban areas with a mix of terrestrial and satellite coverage.

Problems solved by this technology:

* The technology addresses the challenge of efficiently managing the handover process between terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks.
* It helps in avoiding unnecessary measurements of TN neighboring cells when they are not relevant to the UE's location, reducing unnecessary signaling and improving network efficiency.

Benefits of this technology:

* Users experience improved connectivity and seamless handovers between different types of networks.
* Mobile network operators can optimize their network resources by focusing on relevant neighboring cells for measurement, reducing unnecessary signaling and improving overall network performance.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods and apparatuses for measurements for UE mobility between an NTN and a TN. A method of operating a UE comprises: identifying terrestrial network (TN) neighboring cell information received from a non-terrestrial network (NTN), wherein the TN neighboring cell information includes at least TN neighboring cell geographical area; identifying a location of the UE; determining, based on the location of the UE and the TN neighboring cell information, whether to measure TN neighboring cells; identifying, based on a determination that TN neighboring cells are measured, one or more TN neighboring cells among the TN neighboring cells; and measuring the one or more TN neighboring cells for a cell reselection operation.
