Abstract
A system, method and non-transitory computer readable media for facilitating reduced signaling load with respect to UE location reporting in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) environment () interoperable with one or more terrestrial cellular communications networks. In one embodiment of an index-based location reporting scheme, a UE () may receive () a list of reference locations from a network node (), each identified with an index. Responsive to receiving the list of reference locations, the UE () may report to the network node () an index or a subset of indices of one or more reference locations that match a specific reporting criterion. In an example implementation, reporting of index-based location information by the UE () may be configurably triggered, e.g., periodically or in response to the occurrence of a particular event, condition, etc.
