Abstract: A UE, connected using a current cell served by a first satellite to a BS, receives information from the BS including assistance information for a cell switch from the current cell to a cell served by a second satellite. The information is received before a stop time indicating when the current cell will stop serving the UE. The UE performs the cell switch from the current cell to the cell served by the second satellite using at least the assistance information to find cell synchronization block(s) for the served by the second satellite. The BS sends the information from the BS including the assistance information for a cell switch from the current cell to a cell served by a second satellite. The BS shuts down the current cell at a stop time.

Abstract: Example embodiments provide signaling between a network node and a client node in non-terrestrial network which enables optimizing energy consumption of the client node. The client node may adapt its power saving mode duration to end at a suitable time for transmission based on information about transmission opportunities computed by the network node. The network nodes may be moving network nodes that operate at altitude, such as satellites. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for communication in non-terrestrial networks are provided. Downlink transmissions are received (400) from one or more non-terrestrial nodes. Signal strengths and/or signal quality of the transmissions are measured (402) from the one or more non-terrestrial nodes. Transitions between line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight states regarding the one or more non-terrestrial nodes are determined (404). Locations of the one or more non-terrestrial nodes and the apparatus are determined (406) and elevation and azimuth angles to the one or more non-terrestrial nodes from the apparatus are calculated (408). A database of the line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight states is generated (410) as a function of elevation and azimuth angles and apparatus location and utilised (412) to determine expected line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight states for non-terrestrial nodes.

Abstract: This document discloses a solution for performing a random access procedure. According to an aspect, a method for a terminal device comprises: receiving, from an access node, system information comprising a first random access configuration and at least a second random access configuration; determining, whether a link loss between the terminal device and the access node is increasing or decreasing; if the link loss is determined to decrease, selecting the first random access configuration and performing the random access with the access node by using the first random access configuration; and if the link loss is determined to increase, selecting the second random access configuration and performing random access with the access node by using the second random access configuration.

Abstract: A method may include sending, by a user equipment, a random access preamble message to a network element. The method may also include receiving an uplink grant in a random access response message in response to the random access preamble message. The method may further include adding an implicit timing advance offset to an uplink time domain resource allocation of the uplink grant to establish synchronization of radio transmissions between the user equipment and the network element. The method may also include transmitting a scheduled transmission message including the implicit timing advance offset to the network element. Further, the implicit timing advance offset may be added to the uplink time domain resource before the scheduled transmission message is transmitted.
