Abstract
Apparatuses and wireless communication methods are disclosed. A wireless communication method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes performing a power saving mechanism when the UE is in a discontinuous coverage scenario that includes alternating occurrences of an in-coverage and an out-of-coverage, wherein in the power saving mechanism, the UE is in a dormant state or in a power saving mode (PSM) during the out-of-coverage of the discontinuous coverage scenario and is configured to wake up to monitor a paging during the in-coverage of the discontinuous scenario.

A wireless communication method performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- performing a power saving mechanism when the UE is in a discontinuous coverage scenario that comprises alternating occurrences of an in-coverage and an out-of-coverage, wherein in the power saving mechanism, the UE is in a dormant state or in a power saving mode (PSM) during the out-of-coverage of the discontinuous coverage scenario and is configured to wake up to monitor a paging during the in-coverage of the discontinuous scenario;
- wherein an out-of-coverage interval is configured based on a service stop time of a serving satellite and/or a service start time of a next satellite;
- and
- wherein the service stop time of the serving satellite and the service start time of the next satellite is determined based on an information from a satellite.

A wireless communication method performed by a base station, comprising:
- transmitting an information for a user equipment (UE) in a discontinuous coverage scenario that comprises alternating occurrences of an in-coverage and an out-of-coverage such that the UE can be in a dormant state or in a power saving mode (PSM) during the out-of-coverage of the discontinuous scenario and wakes up to monitor a paging during the in-coverage of the discontinuous scenario;
- wherein an out-of-coverage interval is configured based on a service stop time of a serving satellite and/or a service start time of a next satellite;
- and
- wherein the service stop time of the serving satellite and the service start time of the next satellite is determined based on the information from the base station.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver;
- wherein the processor is configured to perform a power saving mechanism when the UE is in a discontinuous coverage scenario that comprises alternating occurrences of an in-coverage and an out-of-coverage, wherein in the power saving mechanism, the UE is in a dormant state or in a power saving mode (PSM) during the out-of-coverage of the discontinuous coverage scenario, and the processor is configured to wake up to monitor a paging during the in-coverage of the discontinuous scenario,
- wherein an out-of-coverage interval is configured based on a service stop time of a serving satellite and/or a service start time of a next satellite;
- and
- wherein the service stop time of the serving satellite and the service start time of the next satellite is determined based on an information from a satellite.
