  • Patent number: 12081314
    Abstract: Aspects relate to mechanisms for wireless communication devices to update satellite and beam specific information. A user equipment (UE) selects a first cell associated with a first satellite for wireless communication in the non-terrestrial network. The UE determines whether to use one or more standard parameters or one or more satellite-cell specific parameters for accessing the first cell. The one or more standard parameters are based on one or more standard characteristics common to a plurality of satellites including the first satellite. The one or more satellite-cell specific parameters are based on a change to at least one standard characteristic of the one or more standard characteristics of the first satellite.

  • Publication number: 20240292481
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for indicating repetition for messages without relying on RRC signaling are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a UE includes receiving, before performing an RRC configuration procedure or an RRC reconfiguration procedure, a first communication scheduling a first data transmission with associated feedback. The first communication may include first information associated with the first data transmission and a first redundancy version indicator (rv Index). The example method also includes attempting to receive the first data transmission based on the first information. The example method also includes transmitting, based on the first rv Index, a first quantity of repetitions of first data feedback for the first data transmission.

  • Publication number: 20240283578
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a radio resource control (RRC) configuration that indicates that hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback associated with a downlink HARQ process is disabled or enabled. The UE may receive a downlink control information (DCI) communication that overrides the RRC configuration. The UE may selectively transmit HARQ feedback, associated with the downlink HARQ process, for a downlink transmission based at least in part on the DCI communication. The UE may selectively initiate, based at least in part on selectively transmitting the HARQ feedback, physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring associated with the downlink HARQ process based at least in part on at least one of the RRC configuration or the DCI communication. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20240273829
    Abstract: Extended reality (XR) management systems and techniques are described. In some examples, an XR management system receives sensor data from an XR interface device having at least one sensor. The XR management system generates, based on the receipt of the sensor data from the XR interface device, processing instructions for an XR processing device to process the sensor data to generate XR content. The XR management system sends the sensor data and the processing instructions to the XR processing device. The XR management system receives the XR content from the XR processing device. The XR management system generates layer content. The XR management system sends the XR content and the layer content to the XR interface device to cause the XR interface device to output the XR content and the layer content in a layered arrangement.

  • 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.

  • 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.
