  • Patent number: 12219417
    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may comprise a processor. The processor may be configured to receive (e.g., via broadcast) configuration information indicating a time that a same-PCI satellite switch may occur. In one or more examples, the WTRU may transmit assistance information prior to the same-PCI satellite switch. The assistance information may, for example, include a re-synchronization duration, capabilities to synchronization procedures, and/or a time indication for resuming TX and/or RX. The WTRU may receive configuration information for satellite re-synchronization. The WTRU may perform the same-PCI satellite switch to the second satellite, for example, based on the configuration information indicating the time for the same-PCI satellite switch. In performing the same-PCI satellite switch, the WTRU may start a resynchronization gap, suspend UL TX and/or DL RX, and/or perform re-synchronization procedure(s).

  • Patent number: 12207108
    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may determine a first set of beams and a second set of beams, that a respective quality of each beam in the first set of beams is less than a predetermined quality value, and that a beam that is in the second set of beams and not in the first set of beams has a quality that is equal to or greater than the predetermined quality value. The WTRU may select the beam that is in the second set of beams and not in the first set of beams and whose quality is equal to or greater than the predetermined quality value, for a BFR and send a message that indicates the selected beam for the BFR to abase station (e.g., a gNodeB). The WTRU may receive a message comprising the selected beam from the gNodeB.
