Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards non-terrestrial network connection management. Mobile device transitions between terrestrial and non-terrestrial network connections can be streamlined by predicting transitions in advance and by advance mobile device acquisition of network transition data. Terrestrial and non-terrestrial network functions can provide prediction data and network transition data to mobile devices. Furthermore, techniques are provided to manage mobile device searches for terrestrial network connections while a mobile device has an active non-terrestrial network connection.
