Spectrum sharing in ntn-tn coordination

Abstract

Solutions pertaining to spectrum sharing in coordination between a non-terrestrial network (NTN) and a terrestrial network (TN) are described. An apparatus implemented in a UE includes a transceiver configured to communicate wirelessly and a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to perform operations. The processor measures a signal strength of each of one or more terrestrial network (TN) cells and one or more non-terrestrial network (NTN) cells, reports, via the transceiver, a result of the measuring to a network, and receives, via the transceiver, an indication from the network configuring and activating a bandwidth part (BWP) that separates transmission by a base station of the TN from NTN downlink (DL) transmissions.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
