AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The integration of satellite systems into 5G networks faces challenges due to dynamic and intermittent satellite coverage, leading to coverage gaps that are difficult to predict and manage, causing network overload and additional integration costs, especially since existing solutions lack real-time monitoring and notification capabilities.

Method used

A network function, integrated into the 5G core network, is configured to collect and process satellite coverage information in real-time, providing availability information to other network functions, using a service-based architecture to standardize interfaces and share information, allowing for adaptive mobility management and battery optimization.

Benefits of technology

This solution enables real-time monitoring and notification of satellite coverage, reducing network overload and integration costs by providing accurate and timely coverage information, allowing for efficient management of terminal mobility and battery life, and optimizing network operations.
