Application: Method and device for handover in an efb-based non-terrestrial network (Patent ID: US20240214897A1)
The patent filed by Kia Corp. describes a method and device for handover in a non-terrestrial network based on EFB. The method involves performing a connection configuration procedure with a UE in a first cell of a first satellite, followed by decreasing a cell service timer value and triggering a handover procedure when the timer falls below a threshold. The handover can be triggered by either the satellite or the UE, based on specific information provided during the connection establishment procedure.
Furthermore, the method includes transmitting information to the UE regarding handover schemes, measurement procedures, and target cells based on reception quality information. The UE is also equipped to receive handover configuration information, perform measurement procedures, and establish connections with new cells based on received commands. The handover process can be performed on a UE or cell basis, with the first cell being configured by the first satellite using EFB technology. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method and system for efficient handover management in non-terrestrial networks, ensuring seamless communication services for UEs across different satellite cells.
