  • Publication number: 20230403585
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may support mobility between a non-terrestrial network (NTN) cell and a terrestrial network (TN) cell. If the UE is connected to an NTN cell, the UE may determine timing for a neighboring TN cell using a reference timestamp. A first network entity supporting the NTN cell may request the reference timestamp from a second network entity supporting the TN cell. The second network entity may output the timestamp in response to the request. The first network entity may obtain the timestamp and output an indication of the timestamp to the UE in a measurement gap configuration. The UE may use the reference timestamp to determine timing for a measurement gap and may monitor for a signal (e.g., a synchronization signal) from the second network entity supporting the TN cell during the measurement gap.

  • Patent number: 11824656
    Abstract: Systems, methods and instrumentalities are disclosed for decoding data. For example, it may be determined, in a current slot, whether data received in a previous slot is decoded successfully. The data received in the previous slot may be included in a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). If the data received in the previous slot is not decoded successfully, preemptive multiplexing information may be detected in a first search space. The data received in the previous slot may be decoded, for example, using detected preemptive multiplexing information. The preemptive multiplexing information may be of a current slot. The preemptive multiplexing information may be comprised in a first DCI. A second search space of the current slot may be searched. For example, the second search space may be searched for a second DCI. The first DCI and the second DCI may be different.

  • Patent number: 11824664
    Abstract: A video encoding device (e.g., a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)) may transmit an encoded frame with a frame sequence number using a transmission protocol. The video encoding device, an application on the video encoding device, and/or a protocol layer on the encoding device may detect a packet loss by receiving an error notification. The packet loss may be detected at the MAC layer. The packet loss may be signaled using spoofed packets, such as a spoofed NAM packet, a spoofed XR packet, or a spoofed ACK packet. A lost packet may be retransmitted at the MAC layer (e.g., by the encoding device or another device on the wireless path). Packet loss detection may be performed in uplink operations and/or downlink operations, and/or may be performed in video gaining applications via the cloud. The video encoding device may generate and send a second encoded frame based on the error notification.

  • Patent number: 11812473
    Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) calculates a propagation delay for sending a message from the UE to a network node, such as a base station, via non-terrestrial communications. The method sends a random access preamble to the base station while accounting for the calculated propagation delay. The method starts a random access response (RAR) window at a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) occasion after twice the calculated propagation delay from sending the random access preamble. The method receives a random access response (RAR) message from the base station during the RAR window. The RAR message includes an uplink grant indicating an uplink shared channel resource. Further, the method sends an uplink message to arrive during the uplink shared channel resource while accounting for the calculated propagation delay.

  • Patent number: 11811562
    Abstract: Interference for reference symbols in URLLC/eMBB multiplexing may be reduced. URLLC and/or eMBB reference signal (RS) interference may be reduced regardless whether the URLLC and eMBB reference signals and data are multiplexed and superimposed using the same numerology or different numerologies and/or regardless whether the URLLC and eMBB reference signals may be aligned or misaligned (e.g., may or may not use a common resource). An URLLC transmission may preempt an eMBB transmission. For the URLLC and eMBB transmissions using a same numerology, a RS reuse indication may be used. The RS reuse indication may indicate whether a RS in the preempted portion of the eMBB transmission may be reused. A channel estimation function set may be estimated, and channel estimation may be performed using the determined channel estimation function set. The eMBB transmission and the URLLC transmission may be decoded based on the performed channel estimation.

  • Publication number: 20230354441
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Described techniques provide for mitigating error in time or frequency adjustments for preambles of a random access procedure. A user equipment may use one value for the adjustment when transmitting data to a non-terrestrial network, but then transmit the preamble of a random access procedure according to a preamble-specific time or frequency adjustment based on one or more indications received from the network (e.g., rather than resetting the adjustment to “0”). By using some signaled value for the preamble-specific timing or frequency adjustment rather than resetting the adjustment to “0,” preamble reception performance may be maintained or improved with as many or fewer position measurements for the UE or non-terrestrial network entity.

  • Patent number: 11799789
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which UEs may communicate with satellites and base stations or gateways in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). Due to the large distances between transmitting devices and receiving devices in a NTN, timing adjustments to account for propagation delay communications links via a satellite may include a propagation delay between a UE and a satellite, a propagation delay between a base station and a satellite, as well as a variation in the propagation delays due to movement of the satellite. In accordance with various techniques discussed herein, a UE may account for variation in propagation delay, in addition to determined propagation delay, when determining an uplink timing for uplink communications via a satellite.
