  • Fig.4 shows the Conditional Handover (CHO).
  • a Conditional Handover (CHO) is defined as a handover that is executed by the UE when one or more handover execution conditions are met. The UE starts evaluating the execution condition(s) upon receiving the CHO configuration and stops evaluating the execution condition(s) once a handover is executed. Up to 8 CHO candidate cells can be configured, which is indicated by the CHO circle in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 5 shows the scenario of Random Access/Handover for a very large Number of UEs; Considering the large cell size of non-terrestrial networks, many devices may be served within a single cell. Depending on constellation assumptions (e.g., propagation delay and satellite speed) and UE density, a potentially very large number of UEs may need to perform HO at a given time, leading to possibly large signaling overhead and service continuity challenges. Mitigate peak load during RA procedure by means of RACH-less handover and further enhance by combining with Conditional Handover at the cost of increased signaling load during the handover preparation phase.
  • HO signaling concentration can be briefly mitigated by distributing the signaling of HO command and HO execution timing of UEs.
  • Network can provide configuration of target cell by CHO configuration in advance.
  • time-based CHO can be utilized to trigger CHO at intended time.

  • the network also configures RRM-based conditional event, e.g., CondEvent A4 to be satisfied at configured entering condition of CondEvent T1 for each UE.
  • UE automatically performs CHO at configured timing leading to distributed HO execution among UEs. Consequently, CHO-based preconfiguration can reduce the number of HO signaling by skipping triggering indication and alleviates RACH congestion thanks to distributed HO execution.
  • the ephemeris data of the satellite serving the candidate target cell, as well as the associated Common TA parameters and Kmac, are part of the essential configuration a UE needs to initiate Random Access to an NTN candidate target cell.
