Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to network access for non-terrestrial networks

This invention describes how a wireless device connects to a satellite network. It involves the device receiving multiple sets of instructions for sending its initial connection request, then choosing one of those sets to use. A specific version of the invention also includes the device informing the network if it can estimate its own timing adjustments.

Why it matters: Filed as 3GPP standards for non-terrestrial networks (NTN) were being finalized. By 2026, the industry is actively implementing and testing NTN initial access solutions, making the management of random access configurations for satellite communication more critical for deployment.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, wireless protocol expertise
