    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may access a public land mobile network (PLMN) via a communication satellite. The UE may receive satellite coverage data from the serving PLMN via the communication satellite indicating at which locations and/or at which times satellite coverage is available. The UE may determine, based on the satellite coverage data, a first time of satellite unavailability for a location of the UE and a second time of satellite availability. The UE may enter a no coverage state following the first time. The UE may inhibit mobile originating requests and/or reduce a frequency of satellite cell searching while in the no coverage state. The UE may leave the no coverage state at the second time. The satellite coverage data may comprise a coverage map for a grid of locations. Extra coverage data may be provided for satellite availability for other PLMNs and/or for terrestrial cells.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and/or a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. Radio capability signaling (RACS) optimization for the radio access technology (RAT) may be deployed for some user equipments (UEs) in a network to reduce a signaling overhead associated with identifying UE radio capabilities. The UEs may be configured with a set of UE radio capability identifiers, such as a UE radio capability identifier for a narrowband (NB) RAT, a UE radio capability identifier for a non-NB RAT, and/or the like. A UE may provide a single UE radio capability identifier corresponding to a type of RAT to which the UE is to connect. The BS may determine that the UE supports RACS optimization for the RAT. If the UE does not provide the UE radio capability identifier, the BS may infer that the UE does not support RACS optimization.
