  • Patent number: 11848744
    Abstract: A wireless device receives, from a base station, access network information. The wireless device determines, based on the access network information, an access network type. The wireless device selects, based on the access network type, a non-access stratum (NAS) period value from between a first NAS period value associated with a terrestrial network (TN) access network type; and a second NAS period value associated with a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) access network type. The wireless device sends, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a first NAS request message. The wireless device starts, based on the sending the first NAS request message, a NAS period using the NAS period value.

  • Publication number: 20230397102
    Abstract: Base station cell activation/deactivation may be based on energy cost. A base station may communicate with at least one other base station to coordinate deactivation of a cell and/or offloading one or more wireless devices in the cell to at least one other cell. Determination of additional energy cost and/or capability for serving the offloaded wireless device(s) may be made to calculate overall energy saving and/or to ensure uninterrupted connectivity in view of the deactivation. Base station communication may improve energy efficiency by performing deactivation/activation of one or more cells based on energy usage.
