The article discusses the possibility of using and modifying the mobility control mechanisms of LTE subscribers from the point of view of their application in the satellite communication network implemented on the basis of 36 series (LTE) standards for satellite grouping based on spacecraft in geostationary orbit (GSO spacecraft).

Purpose – determination of the possibility of modification and use of mechanisms for managing the mobility of subscribers in the LTE network in the interests of use in the satellite communication network.

The study shows the possibility of using procedures for managing the mobility of subscribers in a satellite communication network based on procedures used in an LTE network. Limitations in use are shown and ways of modifying these procedures and mechanisms when satellite communication network subscribers operate with spacecraft in geostationary orbit are determined.

The possibility of implementing the mechanisms for controlling the mobility of satellite network subscribers based on the procedures and mechanisms used in the LTE network significantly simplifies and reduces the time for the development and creation of domestic satellite communication networks, optimizes the use of a limited resource of the GSO spacecraft grouping when providing network subscribers with services with a given quality of service (QoS).
