Abstract
The technology disclosed herein relates to antenna beam directivity corresponding to one or more non-terrestrial access nodes. For example, a user device having antenna elements and a sensor can determine an orientation of the user device and transmit one or more signals from one or more antenna elements based on the orientation of the user device. In embodiments, the user device can transmit signals towards a non-terrestrial access node, towards a portion of an atmosphere layer of the Earth, away from a gravitational force of the Earth, towards outer space, in another non-terrestrial direction, or one or more combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the user device uses one or more accelerometers and/or one or more other sensors for determining the orientation of the user device relative to the antenna elements of the device, the gravitational force of the Earth, a geomagnetic field, another direction, or one or more combinations thereof.
