Study on Integration of satellite components in the 5G architecture; Phase 2
The scope of the TR is to investigate further 5GC/EPC enhancements to support satellite access using the work done in Release 17 as baseline with the following 5GC/EPC areas for study:
- Possible enhancements to support of Discontinuous coverage with the following areas of focus:
- Architectural enhancements to support discontinuous coverage for mobility enhancement (e.g. paging enhancement).
- Architectural enhancements considering prediction, awareness and notification of UE wake-up time, power saving optimizations.
