Abstract
A UE receives satellite ephemeris information from a server and calculates one or more satellite parameters for at least one satellite based on the satellite ephemeris information. The UE controls, based on the one or more satellite parameters, operation of a software application that utilizes a data service provided via the at least one satellite. Calculating satellite parameters can include calculating one or more satellite parameters at an API of the UE, and controlling operation of a software application can include receiving, at the API, a request for satellite ephemeris information from the software application, providing, by the API, a representation of the one or more satellite parameters to the software application in response to the request, and adjusting, at the software application, an operation of the software application based on the received representation of the one or more satellite parameters.
