Abstract

Various aspects of the disclosure relate to managing ephemeris information. Provisions are made for providing ephemeris information to a user terminal (UT). Messages are defined for sending ephemeris information and for requesting ephemeris information. Ephemeris information for a subset of the satellites in a constellation may be sent to a UT to reduce signaling load. A UT may manage a database of ephemeris information to ensure freshness of the ephemeris information.
