Abstract: The present technology relates to limited communication capability notifications. In aspects, non-terrestrial networks can be resource-constrained such that limited wireless communication services are provided to connected wireless communication devices. Accordingly, a user of a first wireless communication device connected to or about to connect to a non-terrestrial network or a user of a second wireless communication device contacting the first wireless communication device can benefit from being notified that the first wireless communication device has or is about to have reduced wireless capability (e.g., due to it being connected to a resource-constrained non-terrestrial network). To accomplish this, aspects of the present technology relate to providing such notifications.

Abstract: A wireless device connects to a non-terrestrial communication network from a terrestrial communication network such that a wireless communication service is provided by the non-terrestrial communication network. The wireless device receives a request from a user to perform a voice call to a terminating device, where the terminating device is remotely located from the wireless device and communicatively coupled to a cellular network. In response to receiving the request to perform the voice call, the wireless device redirects from a voice call function to a text messaging function and receives a first text message input from the user. The wireless device transmits the first text message over the non-terrestrial communication network, where the first text message is transmitted as a short message service message. The wireless device receives over the non-terrestrial communication network, from the terminating device, a second text message as a short message service message.

Abstract: Techniques related to providing adaptive services to users when user devices are connected to satellite networks are disclosed. In one example aspect, a device for wireless communication comprises at least one processor that is configured to receive information about a network condition associated with a satellite access network, adaptively enable or disable a service feature according to the network condition, and notify a user of the device that the service feature is adaptively enabled or disabled.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing telecommunications resources to users based on telecommunications resource availability are disclosed. The system stores information pertaining to one or more mobile networks within a first mobile network list, where a mobile device is prevented from providing an access request to a mobile network in the first mobile network list. In response to determining, via a second mobile network list, that no approved mobile network is available to provide a particular connectivity service, the system determines for each mobile network of the first mobile network list a set of connectivity services associated with each respective mobile network of the mobile network list. The system selects a first mobile network of the one or more mobile networks to provide a first access request to the first mobile network based on a corresponding set of connectivity services including the particular connectivity service associated with the first mobile network.

Abstract: A mobile device receives network information from a connected non-terrestrial network. A streaming app installed on the mobile device is configured to stream data at a first bit rate while the mobile device is connected to a terrestrial network. The mobile device identifies network resources of the non-terrestrial network that include a bandwidth, a latency, and/or a data packet loss rate. The mobile device configures the streaming application in accordance with the network resources to stream data at a second bit rate lower than the first bit rate while the mobile device is connected to the non-terrestrial network. The streaming app is configured in accordance with a quality of service provided by the non-terrestrial network that is based on a frequency range, a congestion level, and/or a signal strength of the non-terrestrial network.

Abstract: A mobile app store receives an access request from a mobile device via a communication network. The mobile app store includes first versions of apps for use on terrestrial networks and corresponding second versions of the apps for use on non-terrestrial networks. The mobile app store determines that the communication network is a non-terrestrial network based on information obtained from the communication network. The mobile app store displays only the second versions of the apps on the mobile device, while preventing display of the first versions of the apps on the mobile device. The mobile app store receives a request from the mobile device for downloading a particular second version of an app. The mobile app store pushes the second version to the mobile device for installation.

Abstract: A mobile device having multiple applications installed determines that a first communication network associated with a mobile network operator of the mobile device is unavailable. The device receives network information from a second communication network indicating that the second communication network is available. In response to determining that the second communication network is available, the device connects to the second communication network. The device determines, based on the network information, that the second communication network is a non-terrestrial communication network. The second communication network is associated with a bandwidth less than a threshold bandwidth. In response to determining that the second communication network is a non-terrestrial communication network, the mobile device is configured to operate in a non-terrestrial mode. At least one application is rendered inoperable while the mobile device is operating in the non-terrestrial mode.

Abstract: Techniques, apparatuses, and systems for implementing a non-terrestrial network connection icon are disclosed. A first icon indicative of a connection to a satellite network is displayed at a status portion of a display of a mobile device in response to determining that the mobile device is connected to the satellite network. In aspects, the status portion does not include an indication of a signal quality of the connection to the satellite network while the first icon is displayed. Instead, the status portion can display a second icon indicative of one or more features that are available or not available on the satellite network.

Abstract: The present technology relates to device settings for satellite networks. A wireless device is disclosed that receives network information from a non-terrestrial network. The wireless device can access device configuration data that associates entries of network information with different device settings to determine, based on the network information, that the wireless device is to comply with particular device settings when connected with the non-terrestrial network. In doing so, the wireless device can be configured in accordance with the particular device settings when connected with the non-terrestrial network.
