Support of Broadcast Service in NTN

From Release 17, 3GPP New Radio (NR) has been adapted to support satellite communication in Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). NTNs can provide wide-area coverage and are highly effective for broadcasting services. To efficiently support broadcast services in NR NTN, 3GPP is working on specifying the signaling of the intended service area of a broadcast service. In this paper, we address how to efficiently support broadcast services in NR NTN, which features extensive cell coverage.
