SELECTION OF A CURRENT TRACKING AREA IDENTIFIER AMONG MULTIPLE CURRENT TRACKING AREA IDENTIFIERS

Examples pertaining to selection of a current tracking area identifier, TAI, among multiple current TAIs in non-terrestrial network, NTN, communications are described. A user equipment, UE, initiates a procedure in a satellite-accessing cell of a selected public land mobile network, PLMN, (410). The UE selects a tracking area code, TAC, from a plurality of TAGs of the selected PLMN broadcast by the cell as a current TAC such that a tracking area identifier, TAI, constructed from the current TAC and a PLMN identifier, PLMN ID, of the selected PLMN, is a current TAI associated with a geographical area in which the UE is located (420).
