INTERMITTENT COVERAGE IN A NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240349242 titled 'INTERMITTENT COVERAGE IN A NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for a wireless device to adapt to intermittent network coverage in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). The device determines its location and network access availability, operating in a reduced power mode when outside the NTN coverage area and normal power mode when within the coverage area.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Method for wireless devices to adapt to intermittent network coverage in a non-terrestrial network.
- Device determines location and network access availability to switch between power modes.
- Reduced power mode suspends or disables internal processes, while normal power mode reactivates or enables them.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in satellite communication systems, remote sensing devices, and IoT devices operating in areas with intermittent network coverage.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the challenge of maintaining connectivity in non-terrestrial networks with intermittent coverage, optimizing power usage based on network access availability.
Benefits:
- Improved power efficiency for wireless devices in non-terrestrial networks.
- Seamless adaptation to changing network coverage conditions.
- Enhanced reliability of communication in remote or challenging environments.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include satellite communication systems, remote monitoring devices, and IoT devices in remote or rural areas with limited network coverage.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the technology determine the location of the wireless device? 2. What are the specific internal processes that are suspended or disabled in the reduced power mode?
Original Abstract Submitted
according to some embodiments, a method is performed by a wireless device for adapting to intermittent network coverage in a non-terrestrial network (ntn). the method comprises: receiving information indicative of the availability of ntn network access; and determining whether the wireless device is within or outside of an area with ntn network access based in part on the received information and a location of the wireless device. upon determining that the wireless device is outside the area with ntn network access, the wireless device operates in a reduced power mode in which one or more internal processes are suspended or disabled. upon determining that the wireless device is within the area with ntn network access, the wireless device operates in a normal power mode in which one or more of the internal processes that were suspended or disabled are reactivated or enabled.
