Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive system information associated with a set of neighboring cells included in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). The UE may be connected to or camped in a current cell included in the NTN. The current cell may be associated with a current platform. The UE may monitor a neighboring cell, of the set of neighboring cells, based at least in part on the system information. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims20
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- obtaining system information including beam footprint information associated with a beam of a neighboring platform included in a non-terrestrial network (NTN),
- wherein the UE is connected to or camped in a current cell included in the NTN, the current cell being associated with a current platform;
- and
- monitoring a neighboring cell, associated with the neighboring platform, based at least in part on the system information.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more memories comprising instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the apparatus to:
- obtain system information including beam footprint information associated with a beam of a neighboring platform included in a non-terrestrial network (NTN),
- wherein the apparatus is connected to or camped in a current cell included in the NTN, the current cell being associated with a current platform;
- and
- monitor a neighboring cell, associated with the neighboring platform, based at least in part on the system information.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a receiver;
- a memory comprising instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the UE to:
- obtain, via the receiver, system information including beam footprint information associated with a beam of a neighboring platform included in a non-terrestrial network (NTN),
- wherein the UE is connected to or camped in a current cell included in the NTN, the current cell being associated with a current platform;
- and
- monitor a neighboring cell, associated with the neighboring platform, based at least in part on the system information.
