In some implementations, a method of facilitating pointing of a mobile device at a satellite of a satellite constellation for satellite-based data communication, may comprise obtaining, at a first time point, historical orbital data indicative of orbital movement of a plurality of satellites of a satellite constellation over a period of time. The method may also comprise assigning a reference orbital dataset of the plurality orbital datasets determined at a reference time point to corresponding control boxes of a reference grid covering the satellite constellation, wherein each control box of the reference grid corresponds to a satellite of the satellite constellation. The method may also comprise mapping the plurality orbital datasets to the reference grid for an orbital model based on the assignment of the reference orbital dataset.

Satellite positioning for satellite-based communications

An example method of geofencing for satellite communication performed by a UE, the method comprising obtaining a first region file comprising a plurality of regions, wherein each region of the plurality of regions is represented by one or more geo-polygons, wherein each region of the plurality of regions corresponds to a respective unique region identifier, and obtaining a first restriction status file comprising restriction status information regarding each region of the plurality of regions. The method further comprises receiving, from a server, a second restriction status file comprising a second set of region identifiers and corresponding restriction status information, determining a difference between the first set of region identifiers and the second set of region identifiers, and updating the first region file, the first restriction status file, or both based on the difference.

Geofencing for satellite communication in the absence of terrestrial networks

Techniques for extending battery life in a mobile device are provided. An example of a mobile device according to the disclosure includes at least one external motion detect sensor, a mobile device management module operably coupled to the at least one external motion detect sensor, the mobile device management module comprising at least one processor configured to detect a motion interrupt, load a partial image state into the mobile device management module, detect a motion that meets or exceeds while in the mobile device management module is in the partial image state, load a full image state into the mobile device management module, and enable the mobile device management module in a full active state.

Power saving with sensor assisted mobile device management software image load

Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a mobile device to determine its location. Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses on a mobile device to enable location determination during paging slots, wherein location is determined after both a location determination interval and the succeeding paging slot interval are complete. Determined location is stored and may be provided in response to requests from applications, application servers, location servers and for other purposes or entities.
