It is based on the elevation angle thresholds. The rapid orbital motion of LEO satellites is 20 Due to the orbital period (~90–120 min, beam transit time ~2–8 min), static thresholds may be required. early (unnecessary ping-pong handover) or late (RLF – Radio Link Failure) This is triggered by network load, user movement pattern, and Doppler shift. Dynamic adaptation of thresholds according to the instantaneous situation is defined in the current standard. It is not. In LEO satellites, the Doppler shift is ±45 kHz (S-band @ 2 GHz) or 25 Can reach ±200 kHz (Ka-band); Timing Advance (TA) values are 5–40 ms. It varies within this range and needs to be constantly updated due to satellite movement. In current systems, Doppler and TA compensation is performed on the UE side; however, In the handover decision, the estimated values of these parameters (for the next beam) Expected Doppler / TA) is not taken into account – this results in 30 seconds of transition to the target beam. This causes loss of synchronization and high BLER. Terrestrial gNB handover and 2 NTN beam transitions are managed independently. A UE (User Equipment- User Equipment) simultaneously at both the terrestrial cell boundary and the satellite beam When this occurs at the transition point, there is a risk of a double interruption. These two The temporal coordination of the event is absent in current implementations. 5QI, S- Differentiated handover based on NSSAI and service type (eMBB, URLLC, mMTC) 5 And while carrier selection is necessary, existing systems apply the same static load to all services. implements the policy. For URLLC traffic, terrestrial route preference or mMTC Service-aware dynamic decisions such as selecting an energy-efficient satellite path. It is not defined as being integrated with artificial intelligence in current products. NTN In its architecture, transparent payload satellites provide feeder link (satellite-gateway) quality of 10. It directly affects service link (satellite-UE) performance. Rain on the feeder link. attenuation (rain attenuation, ~10 dB in Ka-band) or gateway congestion When this happens, end-to-end QoS can degrade even if the satellite GNB signal quality appears good. Current handover mechanisms only handle service link (UE-satellite) metrics. It takes into account; it does not integrate the feeder link status into the handover decision. 15 Therefore, considering the studies and shortcomings in the current technique... when considered, 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NSN) defined within the scope of the Project Network-NTN) architectures and terrestrial radio access network (Radio Access Network- 20 with hybrid scenarios where RAN and satellite-based access nodes work together relevant; expanding coverage and users, especially in remote and rural areas. hand switching that ensures continuity of signaling between the control plane and the control plane a system that provides (handover) management and AI-powered network optimization.

Industrial application of the invention The system in question (1) has both transparent payload (satellite only relays the signal; gNB is located at the gateway on the ground) and regenerative payload (gNB is on the satellite) (works; satellite on-board processing is performed) Non-Terrestrial Network (Non-Terrestrial Network) It covers network (NTN) architectures. In the transparent payload scenario, the feeder link (Gateway-to-satellite) quality directly affects service link (satellite-to-UE) performance and 20 should be included in the handover decision; in the regenerative payload scenario, the satellite gNB can make independent decisions on it, but inter-satellite handover Handover and on-board processing delay are considered as additional parameters. The invention's feature vector and decision architecture will support both payload types. It is designed in such a way that the feeder_link_quality_index size is 25 for the transparent payload. The active, regenerative payload is coded as 1.0 (neutral). In the system subject to the invention, (2) in the multimodal feature vector generator (1) The feature vector structure (d=26 dimensions) is as follows: - Terrestrial metrics (8 dimensions): RSRP_TN [dBm], RSRQ_TN [dB], SINR_TN [dB], throughput_TN [Mbps], PRB_load_TN [%], RTT_TN [ms], HO_fail_rate_TN [%], CQI_TN [0-15]. - NTN metrics (10 dimensions): RSRP_NTN [dBm], RSRQ_NTN [dB], SINR_NTN [dB], throughput_NTN [Mbps], PRB_load_NTN [%], RTT_NTN 5 [ms], Doppler_shift [Hz], TA_precomp_error [μs], beam_visibility_remaining [s], elevation_angle [degrees]. - Ephemeris derived (3D): time_to_beam_switch [s] (time to beam transition) (duration), next_beam_Doppler_predicted [Hz] (expected Doppler of the target beam), feeder_link_quality_index [0-1] (feeder link reported by gateway 10 (quality). - UE energy profile (2 dimensions): battery_level_normalized [0-1] (reported by UE) Battery level is monitored via UE Power Headroom Report and PowerSavingPreference. is obtained), estimated_NTN_power_cost [0-1] (in case of NTN carrier transition) Estimated additional power consumption rate – 15 times the ratio of NTN path loss to terrestrial path loss. It is derived; in the LEO link budget, UE is typically 6–10 dB higher than terrestrial. TX requires power). - QoS / service profile (3 dimensions): 5QI_normalized [0-1], slice_priority [0-1] (S- NSSAI priority map), service_type_encoding [one-hot: eMBB=0, URLLC=1, mMTC=2]. 20 Doppler frequency offset is calculated using the following formula: Δf_D = (f_c · v_sat · cos(α)) / c Here, f_c: carrier frequency [Hz] (e.g., S-band: 2 GHz, Ka-band: 20 GHz), v_sat: The satellite's LEO orbital velocity is [m / s] (typically ~7500 m / s), c: speed of light (3×10⁸ m / s), α: 25 satellite's velocity vector and UE-satellite line-of-sight It is the angle between them – this angle is different from the elevation angle and It depends on the orbital direction of the satellite. α is directly derived from ephemeris data (satellite It is derived from the position vector (position + velocity vector) and the UE position. When the satellite is directly overhead. (Rare) α ≈ 90° and Δf_D ≈ 0; as approaching the horizon, α → 0° and Δf_D 30 It reaches its maximum (±45 kHz in S-band, ±200 kHz in Ka-band). 11 TA pre-compensation error ε_TA = TA_measured - TA_predicted is coded; |ε_TA| Risk of loss of synchronization if > τ_TA (typical τ_TA = 500 μs) This is marked as high, and the handover urgency score is increased. Temporal fusion network-based exchange in the system (1) of the invention 5 (handover) window and the objective function (Multi- in the carrier selection module (3), Task Loss is as follows: L_total = λ₁·L_timing + λ₂·L_carrier + λ₃·L_qos_penalty + λ₄·L_energy - Handover timing estimation error with L_timing = Huber Loss (δ=1.0) - Carrier classification error with L_carrier = Cross-Entropy Loss is 10 - QoS budget violation with L_qos_penalty = max(0, PDB_predicted - PDB_budget)² Penalty (weight is increased for URLLC services: λ₃_URLLC = 3·λ₃) - UE energy budget with L_energy = max(0, NTN_power_cost - battery_budget)² The penalty is that `battery_budget` is dynamically adjusted according to the battery level: `battery_level` If < 0.2, the budget is tightened (transition to NTN is heavily penalized and terrestrial 15 Network "holding" is preferred); if battery_level > 0.6, the budget is relaxed. mMTC / IoT The weight of λ₄ for the devices is increased by 3× (λ₄_mMTC = 3·λ₄) – this increases battery life. In IoT scenarios where the timeframe is on the order of weeks / months, not hours / days It is critical. Default weights: λ₁=0.35, λ₂=0.25, λ₃=0.25, λ₄=0.15 20 Training details are as follows: - Optimizer: AdamW (lr=1×10⁻³, weight_decay=1×10⁻⁴) - Learning rate scheduler: Cosine Annealing (T_max=50 epoch, η_min=1×10⁻⁵) - Batch size: 256 (each sample = 3 seconds window + label) 25 - Training data: Minimum 500,000 handover events (successful + unsuccessful, labeled); Data source: historical handover logs + simulation data (ray-tracing + trajectory) model) - 5-fold cross-validation; target metrics: time MAE < 2 s, carrier selection accuracy > 90%, QoS violation rate < 5% 30 12 Dynamic traffic routing and service quality in the system (1) that is the subject of the invention The constrained optimization framework in the constraint module (4) is as follows: -Purpose: max U(decision) = w₁·QoS_score + w₂·cost_efficiency + w₃·reliability_score - Limitations: 5 (a) Service-based delay budget: delay(path) ≤ PDB(5QI) [e.g., URLLC] 5QI=82: PDB=10 ms → terrestrial preference] (b) Slice resource constraint: sufficient PRB for the relevant S-NSSAI on the selected carrier must have capacity (c) Feeder link quality constraint: feeder_link_quality > 0.3 (otherwise NTN carrier 10 (disabled) (d) Doppler / TA synchronization constraint: |ε_TA_predicted| < τ_TA in the target beam. - Weights (w_k) can be configured according to operator policy; service type based. Automatic weight assignment: URLLC → w₁=0.6, w₂=0.1, w₃=0.3; eMBB → w₁=0.4, w₂=0.3, w₃=0.3; mMTC → w₁=0.2, w₂=0.5, w₃=0.3 15 Access traffic routing, transition and logging in the system (1) which is the subject of the invention. The working mechanism of the supported user plane bridge module (5) is as follows: It is like this: (a) Pre-preparation: TFN engine handover decision t_HO - Δt_prep (Δt_prep = 2–5 20 s) instantly provides; new UPF path information (target gNB) to SMF via N11 interface. (or NTN gNB) is transmitted; UPF establishes a GTP-U tunnel to the target carrier. (b) Dual-path: Compliant with 3GPP ATSSS (TS 23.256) rules. as source and destination carriers with MPTCP or ATSSS-LL (Lower Layer) stack. Simultaneous data transmission is initiated. Packets arriving from the source path are placed in the buffer. Traffic is gradually shifted once the target route is stable. (c) Controlled traffic shifting: Target path RTT < 1.5× source path RTT and The source path tunnel is closed after it is confirmed that packet loss is less than 1%. The verification time is typically 500 ms–2 s. 13 (d) Fallback: If the target path does not become stable within Δt_prep + 5 s, The source remains en route and handover is postponed; the event enters a feedback loop. It is recorded as "failed transition". Session Continuity: Dual path through PDCP sequence number (SN) synchronization. During this process, packet sorting and duplicate elimination are performed. Audio and 5 Buffer depth for video streams: max 200 ms (URLLC) / 1 s (eMBB). In the system of the invention, (1) the terrestrial and (2) feature vector generator of the multimode feature vector.
