Abstract: Techniques discussed herein may better ensure proper timing and synchronization of transmissions within a wireless communications network that includes a terrestrial network and a non-terrestrial network (NTN). A user equipment (UE) may maintain (e.g., determine and update on an ongoing basis) a timing advance (TA) value that the UE may apply to uplink (UL) transmissions to account for propagation delays, including changes in propagation delays, between the UE, NTN, and terrestrial network. TA maintenance may be based on network broadcasts, random access channel (RACH) procedures, control messages, timing drift rates (e.g., of the UE or NTN satellite), beam switching, and more.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for transmitting and receiving sidelink positioning reference signals (SL-PRS). In one example, a user equipment (UE), includes a memory and a baseband processor. The baseband processor is configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, cause the UE to select a sidelink positioning reference signal (SL-PRS) resource from a configured or preconfigured dedicated resource pool.

The baseband processor is configured to cause the UE to transmit the SL-PRS in the selected SL-PRS resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronization signal block (SSB)-to-random access channel (RACH) occasion (RO) association for enabling a use of physical random access channel (PRACH) repetitions are discussed herein. A network (e.g., a radio access network (RAN)) may provide a user equipment (UE) with RACH configuration information that enables the UE to identify a set of configured ROs. In some cases, the UE uses RO groups that comprise a plurality of time domain multiplexed (TDMed) ROs for PRACH repetitions of one or more random access procedure for corresponding SSB(s). The UE may use the RACH configuration information to determine the mapping of these RO groups to the configured ROs, to determine a repetition level for each of these RO groups, to identify a correspondence between the SSB of an RO group and the repetition level off the RO group, etc. Other embodiments not using formal RO groups are also described.

Further, the UE may select, based, at least in part, on the ranking, one or more candidate devices to be used in the sidelink positioning procedure.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses supporting user equipment (UE) channel state information (CSI) prediction are disclosed herein. A UE may receive, from a network, configuration information for generating predictive CS) corresponding to a CSI valid time (TCSI) occurring after a CSI reference signal (RS) time (TRS) for an RS received at the UE for generating the predictive CSI in the case where the TCSI occurs after a duration d following a CSI prediction reference time (Tref,CSI). The UE may proceed to generate, based on a measurement of the RS, the predictive CSI corresponding to the TCSI. The UE may then transmit, to the network, the predictive CSI at a CSI report time (Treport). Mechanisms for selecting Tref,CSI are discussed. Mechanisms used between the network and the UE for communicating one or more durations d to the UE corresponding to one or more CSI reports are discussed.
