Abstract

The technology is directed to a system that allocates a frequency band to a satellite within a non-terrestrial network (NTN) and determines the available channel bandwidth for data transmissions within that frequency band. If the satellite detects an absence of a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection between the satellite and at least one terminal device within the geographical location, which indicates a lack of active communication with the terminal devices, the satellite responds by transmitting signals at a reduced transmit power and within a portion of the available channel bandwidth towards the geographical location. The RRC connection can be managed by an RRC protocol.
