Patent number: 12335021Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a message from a first non-terrestrial network cell indicating cell synchronization information for a second non-terrestrial network cell. In some examples, the cell synchronization information may indicate whether the first non-terrestrial network cell and the second non-terrestrial network cell are synchronized at a reference point. Additionally, or alternatively, the cell synchronization information may indicate a timing offset value between a first uplink time synchronization reference point of the first non-terrestrial network cell and a second uplink time synchronization reference point of the second non-terrestrial network cell. The UE may calculate a timing associated with signaling from the second non-terrestrial network cell based at least in part on the cell synchronization information.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2022Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Bharat Shrestha, Xiao Feng Wang, Harikumar Krishnamurthy, Liangping Ma, Changhwan Park, Umesh Phuyal, Ayan Sengupta, Alberto Rico Alvarino

Patent number: 12335892Abstract: A scheduling offset between an uplink and downlink radio frame timing structure of a user equipment (UE) may be updated to provide for more efficient utilization of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes in a non-terrestrial network. For instance, different UEs may experience different round trip delays (RTDs) with a non-terrestrial cell. Different UEs may be configured with different scheduling offsets such that scheduling delays may be reduced and HARQ processes identifiers may be reused more rapidly. Additionally or alternatively, wireless communications systems may define one or more separation distances (or timing thresholds) for timing between communications and HARQ processes may be reused based on the separation distance threshold (e.g., such that a satellite may reuse a HARQ process ID for two scheduled communications that have not yet been performed by the UE).Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2021Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Alberto Rico Alvarino, Seyedkianoush Hosseini, Xiao Feng Wang, Liangping Ma, Ayan Sengupta, Jun Ma, Huilin Xu, Peter Gaal, Bharat Shrestha

A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network node, downlink control information (DCI) that schedules a downlink transmission and one or more repetitions of the downlink transmission. The DCI may indicate a first uplink resource for a first feedback message indicating whether the UE receives the downlink transmission and the one or more repetitions. Based on receiving the DCI, the UE may select a second uplink resource for a second feedback message indicating feedback that the UE received the DCI, where the second uplink resource occurs prior to the first uplink resource in a time domain. The UE may transmit the second feedback message on the second uplink resource. The UE and the network node may be part of a non-terrestrial network and, in some examples, may apply a configuration indicated in the DCI based on the second feedback message.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2022Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Lianghai Ji, Liangping Ma, Huilin Xu, Qiang Wu, Weimin Duan, Mehmet Izzet Gurelli, Karthik Anantha Swamy

Patent number: 12302264Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2024Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Alberto Rico Alvarino, Xiao Feng Wang, Liangping Ma, Ayan Sengupta, Jun Ma, Huilin Xu, Peter Gaal, Bharat Shrestha
