Abstract

Systems and methods implementing a satellite radio access network (SRAN) receiving a registration request from a user terminal (UT), determining a current tracking area (TA) of the UT, forwarding the registration request and the current TA to an access and mobility management function (AMF), and receiving a registration accept from the AMF that indicates a UT registration area. An implementation receives a UT page command from the AMF and, in response, determines a satellite beam for paging the UT, from among a plurality of satellite beams using the identifier of the current TA, and pages the UT on the satellite beam.
