    摘要: A method of operating a communications device to provide a ranging-based service which uses a proximity between the communications device and at least one other communications device is provided. The method comprises transmitting a discovery signal to the at least one other communications device; receiving a response signal from the at least one other communications device determining an estimate of an angle-of-arrival of the response signal to the communications device and an estimate of a distance between the communications device and the at least one other communications device from the response signal; using the estimate of the angle-of-arrival of the response signal to the communications device and the estimate of the distance between the communications device and the at least one other communications device to initiate the ranging-based service between the communications device and the at least one other communications device.

    摘要: A method for operating a communications device is provided. The communications device is configured to transmit uplink signals to and/or to receive downlink signals from a non-terrestrial infrastructure equipment forming part of a non-terrestrial network, NTN, and to transmit uplink signal to and/or to receive uplink signals from a terrestrial infrastructure equipment forming part of a terrestrial network, TN. The method comprises communicating with the non-terrestrial infrastructure equipment via one of a plurality of spot beams, each of the spot beams providing a first wireless access interface for transmitting the uplink signals to and/or receiving the downlink signals from the non-terrestrial infrastructure equipment within a coverage region formed by the each of the spot beams, and communicating with the terrestrial infrastructure equipment via a second wireless access interface provided by the terrestrial infrastructure equipment.
