NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK (NTN) SEARCH SPACE OPTIMIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163833 titled 'NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK (NTN) SEARCH SPACE OPTIMIZATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication using non-terrestrial network (NTN) connectivity. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • Wireless communications device detects trigger for NTN connectivity
  • Determines if obstructions block subset of NTN space vehicles
  • Transmits message to other NTN space vehicles if subset is blocked

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, satellite communications, and IoT devices.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the issue of communication disruptions due to obstructions blocking the line of sight to NTN space vehicles.

Benefits

- Improved reliability of wireless communication - Enhanced connectivity in remote or obstructed areas - Efficient utilization of NTN space vehicles

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Wireless Communication Through NTN Connectivity: Potential Commercial Applications"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to satellite communication systems or techniques for overcoming obstructions in wireless communication.

Unanswered Questions

How does the wireless communications device detect triggers for NTN connectivity?

The abstract does not provide details on the specific methods or sensors used for trigger detection.

What types of messages are transmitted to the NTN space vehicles?

The abstract does not specify the content or purpose of the messages sent to the NTN space vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. in an aspect, a wireless communications device detects a trigger to communicate via non-terrestrial network (ntn) connectivity, determines whether one or more obstructions are estimated to be blocking a subset of ntn space vehicles of a set of ntn space vehicles expected to be in view of the wireless communications device at a current location of the wireless communications device, and transmits, in response to a determination that the one or more obstructions are estimated to be blocking the subset of ntn space vehicles, at least one message towards at least one ntn space vehicle of the set of ntn space vehicles other than the subset of ntn space vehicles.
