  • Patent number: 12068997
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A non-terrestrial network (NTN) device (e.g., a satellite, base station) may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), at a first frequency a synchronization signal block (SSB) that indicates a second frequency of a control resource set (CORESET) relative to the SSB, where the second frequency is based on one or more of: a CORESET bandwidth, a combination of a first parameter associated with a first portion of the SSB and a second parameter associated with a second portion of the SSB, or both. The UE may monitor the CORESET at the indicated second frequency for a downlink control channel transmission. The NTN device may transmit, to the UE, a downlink control channel transmission over the CORESET. The NTN device may transmit, to the UE, system information based on the downlink control channel transmission.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transparent projection screen having a Fresnel structure. The projection screen is provided with Fresnel structure units having a specific structure, such that incident light irradiated to each Fresnel structure unit can be corrected by a Fresnel microstructure at this position and is reflected in the direction of an observer within a certain visible range, thereby improving the display uniformity of the transparent projection screen, and also reducing the interference of external ambient light on the transparent projection screen, such that a projection system using the transparent projection screen has a good viewing effect.

  • Publication number: 20240276404
    Abstract: Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) may establish uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) radio frame timing structures to efficiently account for propagation delay and propagation delay variation associated with communications in the NTN. NTNs may manage (synchronize) radio frame timing structures of base stations (e.g., satellites) and user equipment (UEs) in the NTN. Further, UEs may determine timing advance (TA) values to be applied to UL transmissions based on their respective scheduling offset (e.g., offset in UL and DL radio frame timing structures), as well as based on propagation delay or round trip time (RTT). As such, served UEs may determine UL timing such that UL transmissions from the UEs to a satellite arrives at the satellite in a time synchronized manner. In other cases, a satellite may determine UL timing, based on reception timing, such that various UEs in the NTN may implement uniform UL and DL radio frame timing structures.

  • Patent number: 12063137
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for hybrid modulation and demodulation, which may include multiplexing and demultiplexing different waveform types. An example method includes receiving a time-domain waveform from a transmitting entity and converting the time-domain waveform to a frequency domain. The method also includes identifying a first set of time and frequency resources associated with converted first information and a second set of time and frequency resources associated with second information in time and frequency resources of an orthogonal frequency domain multiplexing (OFDM) resource grid in a time-frequency domain. The method further includes decoding the first set of time and frequency resources to generate first information from the converted first information. For certain aspects, the first information may be precoded with an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation.

  • Publication number: 20240267808
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A UE operating in an NTN may receive an indication of coverage information for a first cell associated with the NTN. The coverage information may indicate a coverage area supported by the first cell for wireless communications. The UE may transmit, based on location information of the UE and the coverage information, a message indicating a timing information associated with a measurement-based handover for the UE from the first cell to a second cell associated with the non-terrestrial network. For example, the message may include a recommendation for the UE to perform a non-measurement-based handover or an indication that the UE cannot complete the measurement-based handover before leaving the coverage area of the first cell.

  • Publication number: 20240267865
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives one or more timing advance commands from a non-terrestrial network (NTN). The UE resets, after a GNSS fix, a cumulative timing advance value based on the one or more timing advance commands from the NTN and transmits an uplink transmission with a timing advance based on a self-estimated delay and the cumulative timing advance value. The UE may adjust a self-estimated delay based on at least one GNSS fix. The UE may transmit an uplink transmission with a timing advance based on the adjusted self-estimated delay and a cumulative timing advance value based on the one or more timing advance commands from the NTN.
