Abstract
An apparatus and method of a network entity in a wireless communication system is provided. The apparatus and method comprises: identifying a non-terrestrial network (NTN) type associated with an NTN; configuring a set of operational parameters for performing wireless communication based on the NTN type; identifying, based on a network configuration associated with the NTN, one or more interfaces to transmit information indicating the NTN type; and transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) or a network function (NF), the information indicating the NTN type via the identified one or more interfaces.
Claims19
A network entity in a wireless communication system, the network entity comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- identify a non-terrestrial network (NTN) type associated with an NTN;
- and
- configure a set of parameters for performing wireless communication based on the NTN type;
- and
- a transceiver operably connected to the processor, the transceiver configured to transmit, to a user equipment (UE) or a network function (NF), information indicating the NTN type via one or more interfaces,
- wherein the NTN type indicates of a type of an NTN satellite and a type of a payload,
- wherein the type of the NTN satellite indicates one of a geostationary earth orbit (GEO), a medium earth orbit (MEO), a low earth orbit (LEO), or a unmanned aerial system (UAS), and
- wherein the type of the payload indicates a transparent payload or a regenerative payload.
A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive, from a network entity via an interface, information indicating a non-terrestrial network (NTN) type associated with an NTN;
- and
- a processor operably connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
- determine a set of parameters configured based on the NTN type, and
- perform wireless communication according to the set of parameters,
- wherein the NTN type indicates a type of an NTN satellite and a type of a payload,
- wherein the type of the NTN satellite indicates one of a geostationary earth orbit (GEO), a medium earth orbit (MEO), a low earth orbit (LEO), or a unmanned aerial system (UAS), and
- wherein the type of the payload indicates a transparent payload or a regenerative payload.
A method of a network entity in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- identifying a non-terrestrial network (NTN) type associated with an NTN;
- configuring a set of parameters for performing wireless communication based on the NTN type;
- and
- transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) or a network function (NF), information indicating the NTN type via one or more interfaces,
- wherein the NTN type indicates a type of an NTN satellite and a type of a payload,
- wherein the type of the NTN satellite indicates one of a geostationary earth orbit (GEO), a medium earth orbit (MEO), a low earth orbit (LEO), or a unmanned aerial system (UAS), and
- wherein the type of the payload indicates a transparent payload or a regenerative payload.
