Abstract
Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating interruption handling in satellite-based communications are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a UE includes determining an interruption for a satellite-based communication link based in part on UE location information and blockage information of an obstruction that blocks LOS propagation for the satellite-based communication link. The example method also includes refraining performance of one or more communication link correction procedures for a time period associated with the interruption.
Claims30
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to cause the UE to:
- receive an indication associated with an interruption for a satellite-based communication link, wherein the indication indicates a time period that includes a time period duration and a starting time offset for a future time;
- determine the interruption for the satellite-based communication link based in part on UE location information and blockage information of an obstruction that blocks line-of-sight (LOS) propagation for the satellite-based communication link;
- and
- refrain from performance of one or more communication link correction procedures for the time period associated with the interruption.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to cause the UE to:
- detect an interruption for a satellite-based communication link based on UE location information and blockage information of an obstruction that blocks line-of-sight (LOS) propagation for the satellite-based communication link;
- predict a time period associated with the interruption;
- transmit an indication of the time period;
- and
- refrain from performance of one or more communication link correction procedures for the time period associated with the interruption.
