As a LEO satellite approaches a UE, the UE must first detect the synchronization signals in the DL and synchronize to the cell before it can initiate a procedural exchange and take up resources within the cell. Since the satellite is moving towards the UE, once the UE is able to synchronize to the cell it will find itself in good link conditions within a few milliseconds and so UEs that begin a procedural exchange as soon as the are synchronized will mostly be in good conditions for the exchange. As the satellite moves away from the UE, we assume that the UE can maintain synchronicity – perhaps utilizing SIB31 for compensation – but if it initiates a procedural exchange now, then the link conditions deteriorate further during the procedural exchange. This latter case is what is creating the trailing of capacity in the LEO case.
