Abstract
Using a dataset of anticipated coverage areas associated with one or more satellites locally stored on a user equipment (UE) and a location of the UE, the UE can determine its location relative to a satellite coverage area. Various information can then be displayed by the UE, including an amount of time until the UE enters the satellite coverage area and how long it will be in the coverage area—allowing a user to plan calls and data sessions for times and durations that are more likely to be successful based on a connection with a satellite.
