1  Scopep. 9

The scope of the TR is to investigate further 5GC/EPC enhancements to support satellite access using the work done in Release 17 as baseline with the following 5GC/EPC areas for study:
  • Possible enhancements to support of Discontinuous coverage with the following areas of focus:
    • Architectural enhancements to support discontinuous coverage for mobility enhancement (e.g. paging enhancement).
    • Architectural enhancements considering prediction, awareness and notification of UE wake-up time, power saving optimizations.

4  Architecture assumptions and Principlesp. 10

Discontinuous satellite coverage for satellite access in the context of this study is characterized by the fact that Uu interface is available for the UE less than 100% of the time, due to predictable patterns of satellite coverage.
The architecture for satellite access to 5GC as defined in TS 23.501 is used as a baseline.
The architecture for satellite access to EPC as defined in TS 23.401 is used as a baseline.
The solution defined for support of discontinuous coverage in EPC as defined in TS 23.401 could be used as a baseline.
Solutions should be applicable to both EPS and 5GS. Discontinuous satellite coverage under EPC and 5GC interworking is not considered.
Solutions shall minimize the impact on 5GS and EPS system protocols.
