  • Patent number: 12659016
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network node and a user equipment (UE) may establish a connection between the UE and the network node of a non-terrestrial network. The UE may receive, from the network node and based on a type of orbit around Earth of the network node, a first value or the first value and a second value associated with a position or a velocity of the network node relative to a terrestrial-based reference. The UE and the network node may communicate based on the position or the velocity of the network node, or both. In some cases, the position or the velocity of the network node is based on an altitude of the network node, the first value, the second value, and a third value.

  • Publication number: 20260164379
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication, and to supporting physical broadcast channel (PBCH) scrambling and soft combining that supports larger synchronization signal block (SSB) periodicity. For example, a network node may transmit multiple SSBs in accordance with an SSB periodicity. The SSBs respectively include multiple PBCHs, and the PBCHs respectively include multiple master information blocks (MIBs) in accordance with an MIB periodicity. Each of the PBCHs includes a respective scrambled portion and a respective unscrambled portion. The unscrambled portions each include timing information in accordance with the SSB periodicity and the MIB periodicity, cell access information, or both. The UE decodes the PBCHs by soft combining the PBCHs in accordance with the timing information, the cell access information, or both.

  • Patent number: 12647940
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate a connection release message via a first beam to release a connection between the UE and a network entity. The UE may obtain an indication associated with a second beam of a non-terrestrial network entity indicating a set of one or more beams associated with a paging early indication. The UE may monitor for the PEI paging message based on whether the first beam is included in the set of one or more beams. Alternatively, the UE may skip monitoring for the PEI based on the first beam being excluded from the set of one or more beams, and the UE may monitor for a paging message during a paging occasion. In some examples, the UE may receive a message indicating the set of one or more beams from the non-terrestrial network entity.

  • Patent number: 12634057
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may account for the application of orthogonal cover coding (OCC) to an uplink transmission when determining the transport block size (TBS) for the uplink transmission. OCC may be used to multiplex transmissions from multiple UEs and may involve spreading information. Described techniques may involve accounting for the spreading of information bits when determining the TBS for the uplink transmission to which OCC is applied. Sub-physical resource block (sub-PRB) frequency allocations may be provided for uplink transmissions. The UE may account for the allocated quantity of sub-carriers when determining the quantity of information bits. To indicate a sub-PRB, the UE may be configured to reinterpret one or more fields of an existing downlink control information (DCI) format as indicating the allocated sub-carriers, or a new DCI format may be configured that includes fields for indicating a sub-PRB allocation.
