Wireless communication location reporting and paging
First Claim
1. A method of communication by an apparatus, comprising:
- determining an idle mode threshold and a connected mode threshold;
determining whether a user terminal (UT) is in an idle mode or a connected mode;
selecting a threshold from the idle mode threshold and the connected mode threshold, wherein the selection is based on the determination of whether the UT is in the idle mode or the connected mode;
detecting a change in a location of the UT beyond a threshold distance indicated by the selected threshold; and
sending a message including location information of the UT, wherein the sending of the message is triggered by the detection of the change in the location of the UT.

Abstract
The disclosure relates in some aspects to location reporting and paging for satellite communication. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to a user terminal (UT) sending a message to report information about the UT'"'"'s location. A threshold may be used to control whether (e.g., when) the UT reports its location. The location information may be used to enforce area (e.g., country) restrictions for the UT. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to forwarding paging messages between network access controllers. For example, a network access controller that is not able to page a UT may forward a paging message to another network access controller. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to a list of paging areas that indicates where a UT need not perform a paging area update.
