Study on PLMN selection for satellite access
This technical report studies the key issues and the respective solutions related to the support for network selection procedure that accommodates 5G systems using satellite radio access networks. The objective is to:
- identify the specifics of the satellite access networks with respect to the legacy 3GPP access networks that are relevant to the PLMN selection procedure; and
- consider the need to modify the legacy PLMN selection procedure to address the identified specifics.
