  • Publication number: 20230116477
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device may receive a set of demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) over a multi-path channel on a set of resources in accordance with a reference signal pattern. The reference signal pattern may be associated with a non-uniform frequency spacing that results in a row-sampled Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) matrix associated with the reference signal pattern having a lower coherence than other row-sampled DFT matrices. Additionally or alternatively, the device may receive a set of tracking reference signals (TRSs) over the multi-path channel. The set of TRSs may be specific to wide-area terrestrial broadcast services, single frequency network (SFN)-based broadcast services, multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMSs), or the reference signal pattern. The device may perform channel estimation based on receiving one or both of the set of DMRSs or the set of TRSs over the multi-path channel.

In one aspect, a network entity may determine at least one additional set of ephemeris parameters that includes different ephemeris parameters than one or more basic sets of ephemeris parameters associated with a satellite that provides a coverage for the network entity. The network entity may transmit broadcast signaling indicating the at least one additional set of ephemeris parameters. The UE may receive and use the at least one additional set of ephemeris parameters in an orbit propagation model to compute a state of motion of the satellite.

  • Patent number: 11617215
    Abstract: Various aspects described herein relate to dynamically controlling a time when random access initiated in a target cell of a non-terrestrial network. For example, when a user equipment (UE) detects an event that triggers a random access procedure in the target cell, the UE may monitor a control channel from the target cell for a control signal during a target cell monitoring window prior to initiating random access in the target cell. For example, the control signal may include a dynamic indication to identify UEs allowed to initiate random access, whereby a UE is not permitted to autonomously start contention-based random access in the target cell during the target cell monitoring window unless the UE has received the control signal. In this way, the target cell may regulate a rate at which UEs initiate the RACH procedure in order to manage congestion in the target cell.
