Claim 0:
1. A user equipment capable of performing satellite communication, comprising:
one or more processing circuitries configured to:
evaluate a transmission power demand of the user equipment to perform communication with a satellite;
determine to switch to a candidate communication mode when it is determined that a transmission power constraint fails to satisfy the transmission power demand;
send to the satellite a notification indicating a necessity of switching to the candidate communication mode; and
receive a command indicating whether an assistant device is required to assist the user equipment in performing the communication;
wherein when the assistant device is required to assist the user equipment in performing the communication, the assistant device transmits at least a portion of allocated transmission data of the user equipment to the satellite in parallel with transmitting rest of the allocated transmission data of the user equipment from the user equipment to the satellite, the at least the portion of allocated transmission data of the user equipment being divided from the allocated transmission data of the user equipment based on transmission power limitation.
