Original Abstract Submitted
devices, methods and computer programs for switching from a terrestrial cell to a non-terrestrial cell are disclosed. at least some example embodiments may allow switching a client device from a terrestrial cell to a non-terrestrial cell in such a way that the client device has time to prepare for the switch, and optionally perform tests related to a coverage of the non-terrestrial cell and inform a network node proposing the switch if the coverage is not sufficient. as a result, significant energy savings may be achieved on the network side, for example.
