  • Publication number: 20240147349
    Abstract: In a UE configuration update procedure initiated by a network, when the UE is connected to the network via a satellite, one or more forbidden tracking area identities (TAIs) in a 5G system (5GS) forbidden tracking area information element for roaming and/or regional provision of service are included and transmitted in a configuration update command message transmitted by a 5G core network to the UE to provide an appropriate procedure for updating a tracking area identity (TAI) list stored in the UE while the UE in a 5GMM connected mode maintains a registered state.

  • Publication number: 20240147403
    Abstract: A UE capable of performing communication via a satellite receives a wait range via a first satellite from a first PLMN. In a case that the UE becomes able to perform communication via a second satellite connected to the first PLMN after becoming unable to perform communication via the first satellite, the UE selects the first PLMN, generates a wait timer based on the wait range, and starts a timer using the wait timer. In a case that an emergency call is made during the timer running, the UE stops the timer and performs a registration procedure for the emergency call. In a case that an emergency call is not made during the timer running, the UE performs the registration procedure after the timer expires.
