  • Patent number: 11503555
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for dynamically adjusting the access link timing alignment at the integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node. Specifically, features of the present disclosure provide techniques for signaling to one or more child nodes the timing advance and timing offset values associated with each operational mode of the IAB node that may impact the access link timing for the child node (for uplink and/or downlink transmissions). Additionally or alternatively, aspects of the present disclosure identify whether a gap period may be included in order to ensure that the child node has sufficient time to transition between states during the transition period (e.g., from downlink to uplink) when the IAB node dynamically adjusts the access link timing.

  • Patent number: 11470649
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a UE may determine a time duration of a transmission gap between a random access preamble and random access payload. The time duration of the transmission gap may be based on a configuration of the random access channel resources, a timing adjustment (e.g., an estimated propagation delay) for uplink transmissions from the UE, a beam management procedure at the UE and/or the base station, or combinations thereof. The UE may select an initial transmission gap duration based on the configuration of the random access channel resources, and may adjust the initial transmission gap duration based on the timing adjustment. Multiple UEs may be configured such that random access channel transmissions align with a random access occasion (RO) window. A base station may decode messages from multiple UEs using joint or successive decoding to recover the corresponding random access messages.
