  • Patent number: 12634002
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for enabling multi-TRP transmission in non terrestrial networks. In one aspect, a user equipment receives a first reference signal from a first satellite transmission reception point (TRP) at a first timing and receives a second reference signal from a second satellite TRP at a second timing. The first timing is synchronized with the second timing at a first geographic location. The user equipment receives a third reference signal from the first satellite TRP at a third timing and receives a fourth reference signal from the second satellite TRP at a fourth timing. The third timing and the fourth timing are synchronized at the user equipment. The user equipment receives an indication of a timing offset of the fourth reference signal with respect to the second reference signal and uses the third and fourth reference signals as a quasi colocation (QCL) source.

  • Publication number: 20260039428
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a first UE may receive multiple instances of an SRS from a second UE via consecutive symbols. The second UE may apply a cyclic shift and may add a cyclic prefix to each instance of the SRS such that the second UE periodically transmits the SRS across the symbols. The first UE may monitor the symbols during an observation window to receive a portion of a first instance of the SRS and a portion of a second instance of the SRS. In some examples, the combination of the portion of the first instance of the SRS and the portion of the second instance of the SRS may comprise a full period of an instance of the SRS. Accordingly, the first UE may measure interference using the SRS and transmit a report indicating interference information.

  • Publication number: 20250351190
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network may configure multiple transmission occasions (TOs) of a TO group such that the TOs do not occupy the same time resources (e.g., do not overlap in time). In some examples, the network may configure the TOs such that the TOs do not overlap in time with response windows for response messages. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may not be expected to send transmissions (e.g., via TOs) and receive messages in the same time resources. In some examples, the UE may not send retransmissions for one access procedure if another access procedure has been resolved (e.g., if the UE has received a contention resolution indication corresponding to another TO in the group). Upon receiving a contention resolution indication, the UE may stop any other contention resolution timers, and send an acknowledgement message for the resolved access procedure.
