A method of operating a user equipment (UE), the UE communicating with a communication network via a satellite, the method comprising:
- identifying that the UE is in communication with the communication network via a satellite;
- and
- receiving, from the communication network, first information indicating about enhanced coverage of the satellite,
- wherein the received first information is not considered in determining a value of a non-access stratum (NAS) timer.
A user equipment (UE) communicating with a communication network via a satellite, the UE comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify that the UE is in communication with the communication network via a satellite;
- and
- receive, from the communication network, first information indicating about enhanced coverage of the satellite,
- wherein the received first information is not considered in determining a value of a non-access stratum (NAS) timer.
A method of operating a communication network, the communication network communicating with user equipment (UE) via a satellite, the method comprising:
- generating, first information indicating about enhanced coverage of the satellite;
- and
- transmitting, to the UE, the first information indicating about enhanced coverage of the satellite.
