MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441039066 A) filed by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea, on May 18, 2024, for 'managing connection procedures of a user equipment in a satellite communication system.'
Inventor(s) include Basavaraj Jayawant Pattan; and Sapan Pramodkumar Shah.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for managing connection procedures of a User Equipment (UE) in a satellite communication system. The method includes initiating a connection between the UE and an Earth Exploration Satellite (EES) and an Earth Access Satellite (EAS) onboard a satellite. Connection information for the EES and EAS, along with the satellite identifier, is stored in the memory of the UE. The method further includes detecting a discontinuous coverage period during which the serving satellite temporarily ceases to provide EES and EAS services to the UE. Upon re-establishment of coverage by the serving satellite, the UE reconnects to the same EES and EAS using the stored satellite identifier. This reconnection bypasses the service provisioning and EAS discovery procedures, allowing the UE to directly reconnect to the previously connected EES and EAS, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the satellite communication system."
