AI Technical Summary
Current wireless communication technologies for non-terrestrial networks (NTN) face challenges in store and forward operations, particularly in establishing and maintaining connectivity between user equipment (UE) and satellites, as well as between satellites and ground networks.
A wireless communication method for NTN that involves configuring timers at the base station and user equipment based on the radio access technology (RAT) type, specifically extending timers for the NTN store and forward (S&F) mode to accommodate the unique connectivity challenges.
This approach enhances the reliability and efficiency of NTN communication systems by optimizing timer values for the S&F mode, ensuring stable and extended connectivity during signaling/data exchanges between UE, satellites, and ground networks.
