Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless communication via a non-terrestrial network (NTN). In one aspect, a method for wireless communication includes initiating, by a user equipment (UE), a registration process with a network entity of an NTN to access the NTN. The method further includes transmitting, by the UE to the network entity, UE capability information of the UE. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
Claims50
A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:
- initiating, by a user equipment (UE), a registration process with a network entity of a non-terrestrial network (NTN) to access the NTN;
- and
- transmitting, by the UE to the network entity, UE capability information of the UE, the UE capability information indicating a steering type comprising a mechanical steering or an electronic steering.
An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- initiate, by a user equipment (UE), a registration process with a network entity of a non-terrestrial network (NTN) to access the NTN;
- and
- transmit, by the UE to the network entity, UE capability information of the UE, the UE capability information indicating a steering type comprising a mechanical steering or an electronic steering.
An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- initiate, by a user equipment (UE), a registration process with a network entity of a non-terrestrial network (NTN) to access the NTN;
- and
- transmit, by the UE to the network entity, UE capability information of the UE, the UE capability information indicating:
- an intra-satellite handover delay that corresponds to an antenna repointing delay of the UE.
