- a transparent payload may not support inter-satellite link (ISL) . That is, a satellite may have a ground BS (e.g. gNB) , so as to serve an area in a one-hop manner. Thus, it may be reasonable to set a fixed service area on Earth for each BS.
- the transparent payload is the remote radio head (RRH) of the BS and the size of the service area of the BS is determined by the minimum elevation of a feeder link.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a network comprising a BS and a satellite according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
- a satellite sets a feeder link with the BS (e.g. gNB) at T1 and releases the feeder link with the BS at T2.

- FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a network comprising a BS (e.g. gNB) and a satellite according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the satellite when the satellite enters the view of the BS (i.e. an angle a1 ⁇ min elevation angle of feeder link, e.g., 10 degrees) , the satellite can be regarded as a candidate in a following service area covering.
- the elevation angle of service link from this satellite is large enough (i.e. an angle a2 ⁇ min elevation angle of service link, e.g., 30 degrees)
- the satellite is able to start its RRH function for the BS.
- the service area of a BS is assumed to be larger than the footprint of a satellite based on 2 aspects:
- Min elevation angle of the service link is generally larger than that of the feeder link.
- the elevation may be equal to the elevation angle.
- the satellite may have only one feeder link.
- the feeder link and the service link use different RF chains and antennas.
- one satellite with a low power consumption/cost/complexity may probably have only one feeder link connection.
- the BS and the gateway (GW) may be co-located. More specifically, due to policy restriction, interference management and other reasons, the earth station site resource is generally very limited. Thus, it is reasonable to make full use of each available site and build earth BS with full capability. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the network deployment may be simplified by not considering the delay introduced by the separated BS and GW.

- the circle with diamond pattern refers to the minimum (e.g. nadir) footprint of a 2 nd satellite (e.g. a neighbor satellite of the 1 st satellite) in one solid line ellipse referring to the maximum footprint (e.g., at minimum elevation) of the 2 nd satellite.
- the circle with square pattern refers to the minimum (e.g. nadir) footprint of a 3 rd satellite (e.g. a neighbor satellite of the 1 st satellite) in one solid line ellipse referring to the maximum footprint (e.g., at minimum elevation) of the 3 rd satellite.
- the overlapped area of two neighboring satellites may be very large.
- the 1 st satellite covers the maximum footprint at t1 with the minimum elevation, covers the minimum footprint at t2 with the maximum elevation and covers the maximum footprint at t3 with the minimum elevation again.

- FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram of overlapped footprints of the satellites according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the 3 satellites may have an advanced antenna system to reduce their footprint size at the minimum elevation and the overlapping areas among the footprints of the satellites become smaller. In such conditions, it may be difficult for some UEs to measure the signal quality of neighboring satellites.

- a reference point may be selected for both DL frequency pre-compensation and common TA (time advance) broadcast per satellite beam.
- the reference point may be a center of each beam.
- the UE with the GNSS is able to estimate its own location and determine the distance between the UE and the reference point.
- the threshold of distance on ground may be used to divide UEs into UE groups separately adopting different measurement strategies.
- the UE is able to estimate the elevation of the reference point location (i.e. the location of the reference point) to the satellite based on an ephemeris (e.g. location) of the satellite.
- the UE may receive the elevation of the reference point location to the satellite from the BS.

- the time interval [T_xx1, T_xx2] is the serving time of the corresponding satellite (xx refers to satellite index, which is generalized to “current/next” in following description) . Since UEs have GNSS, the [T_xx1, T_xx2] is the absolute time provided by GNSS timing.
